     Matching the "whites" of dress and tuxedo  

I am still unsure if my wedding dress with be a "pure white" color or something like ivory or creamy. My question is, if my fiance decides on a white tuxedo, how do we match my dress to his tuxedo? Will it look bad if they are not exact matches?

Dear Superspaceystar,

If you have 2 whites together and one is a different shade it will have a tendancy to make the darker one look dirty or dingy...that's why I always recommend black limos, a white one always makes the dress look bad.

To insure the match, get a swatch from your dress or a fabric swatch of the same material and take it with you when looking at white tuxes.

I have to agree with the other response.

Whites are very hard to match and I always recommend black.

Take a swatch to the tuxedo shop and see if you can match up the colors.

Best Wishes

Of course, the time of day and year (weather) should be taken into consideration for your men also.

A tuxedo is evening attire. And, a white or lighter colored coat is expected for warmer climates.
