Tuxedo Color

I'm having a fall wedding and I selected burnt orange and creme as my main colors and gold as an accent. I'm having a formal wedding and reception. All the bridesmaids will be wearing burnt orange evening gowns, and my hostesses will be wearing creme evening gowns. I was thinking of having the groom and groomsmen wear creme colored tuxedos. I've had a few people suggest I have the men wear black tux instead. I was going for a light airy fall look. What color should I go with. I just want everything to look right for pictures. Thanks

The way to go is black tuxedos with colored vests to match the bridesmaids and bride.

Agreed. Cream and white are warm weather tuxedo colors. If you are in a warm weather climate year round, these lighter colors would be fine.

Also, a tux is evening formal attire. If this is to be held during the day, the men should be wearing formal day attire.
