Champagne wedding dress- how to match the groom's suit?!

Angela, on December 3, 2016 at 12:54 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 7

Hi everyone,

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I got my dress in the spring (kinda spur of the moment, didn't think I would get it that day but tried it on and loved it). It's Champagne Ivory colour (so like an off white). Goes well with my skin and hair. For our wedding next summer I want the main colour to be a buttery, warm yellow. I've tried the colour against my dress and it looks good. However, I don't know what accent colours to go with the yellow. Shades of yellow and gray go well together but in most of the photos I've seen the bride is wearing a white dress and groom a bright white shirt in gray.

Has anyone else had a champagne ivory dress? What colours did the groom and bridal party wear? Any suggestions?

Note: the groom is easy going and says any colour works for him

    Hi Angela! Welcome to the community! I'm so happy you reached out! Your dress sounds absolutely beautiful!! Can we see a picture? Smiley love You can create a discussion in the My wedding dress and share it with us, your FH won't be able to see it Smiley winking You can definitely try different colours for the groom suit: blue, grey, black or wine would all look good. It really depends on the style you have in mind! Is your style more elegant and formal or rustic? Smiley love

    Thanks everyone, I didn't even think to go to the men's suit store and ask if they have champagne ivory or a matching colour. THANKS!

    Stress! Eck!

    But I think the other ladies are totally right- ask a pro when you are choosing the Grooms outfit. You could even show them a picture of the dress away from your groom, to keep the secret and still match things up

    Its true. All you need to do is get your groom in the suit store and he tells the sales man my bride is wearing ( white, off white, champgane, ivory...etc) and the sales man will give him a white blouse shirt that matches. Your groom doesnt need to know anything about your dress other than what kind of white it is. And the salesman in the suit stire should know what to do.
    Hope that helps!

    I've been told (by my bank teller believe it or not) to make sure that I buy my FH shirt after my dress and to make sure that the shirt matches the dress or it could look off putting in photos!!!

    I have an ivory dress with gold beading.. The guys are wearing ivory shirts... if you go into a professional stores like moores and ask them or even a bridal store they would be able to give you a professional opinion! All I know is you wont want them in white because next to your dress it will make it dirty
