Chocolate Brown Dresses/Black Tuxes

My theme colors for my wedding are light "icy" blue with chocolate brown (more brown with blue accents). I really want the girls to wear dark brown dresses, and I haven`t figured out what to do about the guys. I really want them to wear black tuxes, but I`m having such a hard time trying to imagine what the brown with black will look like. Does anyone have any suggestions about what color vest they should wear? I would LOVE to see pictures of weddings where this was done, or at least something similar to this. If anyone has any advice or pictures to offer, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

This may help you.

Fubu makes a chocolate brown tuxedo. Finding a rental place is the tricky part. One distributor, Paul Morrell, will give you a list of rental companies in your area. Their website is www.PaulMorrell.com.

Another option would be too reveal more of the icy blue in the menswear.

Good Luck!

Paul Morrell Formalwear rents one, but I don`t know the designer. Actually they have 4 in brown. Go to www.mytuxedocatalog.com and see if they list the designer; then take that info to your local tux shop & see if they can get it for you to rent. I have done a wedding with brown dresses and black tuxes and it looked fine. The accent color was pink, so the guys had pink vests & ties. Either of these would look fine!
