Alfred Angelo Matching Tux?

Oct 18, 2009 16:33

I'm a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding, and the bride (who is not an LJ member) is starting to get really frustrated! She loves Alfred Angelo's orange colors, burnt orange and persimmon in particular, but can't seem to find any tuxes that match. Does anyone know of any large chains or local MA stores that sell a color that would coordinate? Any ( Read more... )

What about just a complementary color? My bridesmaids have alfred angelo dresses in "spice" and the groom will be wearing chocolate brown and the groomsmen will be in ivory.

That's sort of her fall back plan (she wants the colors to be orange, purple and white and the groom does NOT want any purple vests) to have the groom in black and the groomsmen in white, but I told her I would check to see if anyone knew about finding a similar orange shade vest. Whoo, long sentence!

Gotcha. I didn't go looking all over the place mainly because I'm not a fan of things that are super matchy matchy so we both settled with the ivory and brown.
I hope she finds something that works well!

...do you mean, "Brown would like nice with this", or "hey, look, a bright orange cummberbund or actual orange tux"...?

Oops, sorry, I meant a burnt orange vest. I fail! Should I add that into my post to avoid confusion?

...I know that sometimes people edit it if they get enough questions...might be worth considering...

I don't know where you are located, but I believe Friar Tux coordinates with Alfred Angelo colors. I went to a location where the two stores were attached. It looks like they don't have the exact color matches, but they could probably help you with similar colors. They are only in California, though.

You might also want to see if there are any similar David's Bridal colors, since those coordinate with Men's Wearhouse colors.

Friar's is in California, but Savvi Formalwear has locations throughout the U.S., here is the link: http://www.friartux.com/locations.jsp

we did it. I'm in canada but we got the suits from a regular men's clothing shop that does tux rentals. The suit line we ordered from was named Classy or something along those lines. They didnt have a burnt orange, but we went with their dark orange color and they worked together perfectly:
