Navy or Midnight Blue Tux?

mintve Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,200 Last Post: 6/2/2009 Member Since: 10/15/2007	I am using shades of pink in our wedding and started thinking it would be nice to incorporate navy blue instead of black. I am facing a challenge with my initial navy or midnight blue tuxedo hunt. Any ideas on a nationwide tux shop that rents navy tuxes or maybe really nice navy suits?? Everything Works Out for a Reason

I personally think it's fine, especially if it's a "lighter" navy if that makes sense. I was just in a wedding a few months ago where the guys wore black suits and the girls wore a lighter navy dress. It looked really pretty! Let me see if I can find a picture without faces for you...

Definitely. I would also say that matching navys is horribly difficult, and it might actually look better to have different colors than to try for a match and miss.

The guys had black tuxes with silver vests and IMO it looked great! Not too matchy. I'll see if I can get a decent pic:

mintve Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,200 Last Post: 6/2/2009 Member Since: 10/15/2007	thanks for your great ideas. I've been searching the internet and I am starting to think a black tux w/ navy vest and tie, navy BM dress and pink floral accents will be nice! Here is my BM dress in the blue color. Its called royal, so I will have to see how it looks in person Everything Works Out for a Reason

anchor31 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,366 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 10/18/2005	We tried to keep black out of our wedding and the boys wore navy blue tuxes (except my brother who wore his black military uniform). I thought it looked really great and I love how it went with our blue colour scheme. You can check out my pro pics thread here if you like! ETA: They rented theirs at Moores. I'm pretty sure Freeman's has them as well, and I think they have more choices for the vest colours and styles. ******** R & J 08-02-08 Expecting baby on 12-30-09
