Ok, the tablecloths are ordered. The girls are finding their dresses. I have my dress. I guess we should figure out what Ben and the guys are going to wear? We were originally thinking about a tan or brown suit for Ben and tan/brown vests with khaki pants for the guys. The color goes with the more casual feel of the wedding and will look nice with what the girls are wearing and with all the burlap/natural touches in the decorations. We looked around last weekend with Ben's mom and his youngest brother to see what our options were. We went to Men's Wearhouse, Burlington Coat Factory and Nordstrom Rack but we didn't fall in love with anything. We did make Josh be a model though and try on some vest/pant combinations at Burlington. We were thinking that maybe a brown vest and khaki pants would look really nice, then Ben could wear a suit in either brown or tan. But we are having a hard time finding nice brown vests. And Ben can't quite decide what he likes or wants to wear. This was some initial inspiration:
Since we need Ben to figure out what he wants to wear, he looked around online a little and found some nice options. The suits he likes best are a light gray, so that might change things up a little. At first I couldn't imagine gray suits/vests with the girl's casual dresses and with all the burlap and tan touches in the decorations. Like this one, I don't like the tan + gray look (although I do like the mismatched vests):
But I think if we find the right
shade of gray it will be okay. Ben just loves this one:
Another nice option:
Pinterest has saved my life many times in this wedding-planning quest. One of the
images I pinned for bridesmaid dress inspiration did exactly this. They decorated with burlap, had the girls wear causal dresses in shades of coral/pink, the groom wore a gray suit and the groomsmen wore gray pants with a white shirt. So looks like it can be done! Now to find the right stuff!
