Tuxedos and bridesmaid dresses

My bridesmaids are in dark brown long elegant dresses. We originally picked out black tuxedos with the brown ties and vests. I just realized now that maybe the black tuxedos will be too dark with the brown dresses? My colours are espresso brown, cream and blush pink. Husband is going to have a blush pink tie etc. and black tux as well. What to do?And I'm not sure what colours to put my dad in? My dress is ivory. Help!!

    The grey colour looks nice to contrast the bridesmaid long gown. I do find dark on dark will not show well. An alternative would have gone with is white suit to be nuetral from the groom and father.

    I don't think it would be too dark. Because we are a very small wedding party our bestman and groomsman are both exactly the same as FH in charcoal suit and vest with silver tie and pocket square. MOH and bridesmaid are both is charcoal dresses.

    Beige would be classy, and linen (off white) would look fresh. What do you think of it?

    I like the idea of the men in light suits with brown ties and a blush pink rose in the lapel. It's a contrast to your fiancé's black when pictures are taken of just the men together. It's a nice contrast with the bridesmaids' brown dresses as well.

    Hi Christy! Oh It would be good idea to choose a lighter color for the tuxedos. Here I send you some inspiration: Tuxedos best man. You can also get inspired by the pictures of real weddings: Real Weddings and Bridesmaid Dresses. Let me know xx

    Put the groomsmen in lighter coloured suits with the ties the same color as the bridesmaids dresses. You can also have them with a blush coloured pocket square to tie (no pun intended) it all in.

    Brown will look good, you're just going to have to make sure you get lots of light for photos.

    Put the men in cream or light brown tuxes and deep brown ties. I don't think it looks bad against the black tho. Might not photograph well indoors but will look fine in person. Could do a navy suit if you like blue too.
