So, all my bridesmaids have already ordered their dresses and I love the dress and it's "choclate" in color. But it didn't occur to me what the men would wear and that black wouldn't be a viable option with a row of brown-clad ladies opposite them. I don't really want my future husband in a light color though, which is the only thing he has come up with.It's a sunrise wedding in August. My dress is pretty formal, lots of lace, a tight bodice, etc. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Dear All Brown,

Actually the most appropriate would be the white or ivory because of the time of year. Black wouldn't be proper for this time of year, but most people don't realize this. This is why we see it so often.

Best wishes,
