Wedding color theme
Posted on November 10, 2007 in the The Wedding Look category
I think I’m abit anal about color co-ordination. I have seen some weddings that just don’t match in terms of color. I want my wedding to look co-ordinated, from the dresses to the flowers and suits. I want my wedding to be picture perfect so deciding on the color theme has been quite difficult but alas I have some results.
I have decided on a gold/champagne wedding theme with yellow to highlight.
So far I have picked out the bridesmaids dresses which are light gold with a champagne sash/underbust detail. Now I’m currently deciding on what the groom and best men will wear. Dave wants Dark grey suits, he will wear the traditional tailcoat suit but I think the best men should just have the normal suit jackets.
Now here comes the bit which has been giving me a headache…………..
- the waistcoat and cravat/tie
White waistcoat - I would like the groom to match me and the best men to match the bridesmaids. My wedding dress is pure white, so should the groom wear a white waistcoat and white cravat/tie like the pic above.
Or Ivory
This combination would match the bridesmaids but which stands out more?? I suppose the if I’m in white and Dave is too, we would stand out more in front of the bridesmaids and best men.
I also like this color which is like the champagne color of the bridesmaids sash/underbust detail.
Another option is to have a mix of white/light gold/champagne for the groom and best men i.e the groom to have a white waistcoat with a champagne cravat and the best men to have champagne waistcoat and light gold tie.
I think just writing the post has made me even more confused. The best solution would be to go to the suit hire place with my color samples from the bridesmaids dresses and see what matches. If they don’t have the exact same color match the last option would be to get the cravats made.

This is entirely my honest own opinion, but I think the ivory / gold / champagne whatever colour you want to call it waistcoats remind me so much of the waiters at a chinese restaurant I go yum char at =/ This wedding planning sounds like a full time job for you lol. Maybe you should be a wedding planner haha.
Given your colour selection, I like the cream sorrento the best. It allows the groom to stand out alittle without overdoing it.
But it’s your personal taste…and what your husband-to-be is comfortable wearing.
