I seem be lacking in girly-girls at the moment, so maybe y'all can offer some opinions on this. I'm planning my wedding, and I really like colors like this: http://affordableutahweddings.com/wp-co ... pieces.jpg

So picture this:

For the brothers (since we're not doing bridesmaids/groomsmen), they all wear white shirts and dark-colored suit vests, with either marigold or salmon ties and a matching boutonniere. No jacket. And dark pants that match the vest.
The groom would have the same tie and vest combo, but he would have a tux jacket...and a pocket square that matches the tie (but maybe no boutonniere?).

I love pocket squares...

Does that sound okay? Here are my concerns. I've never seen anyone do boutonnieres on a vest, so I don't know what to think about that. I'm also not sure about the pocket square/boutonniere combination for the groom, as I've never seen that done either. And all the pictures I can find from tux places match the tie to the vest, but I think the contrasting colors might look cooler. What do you think?

Those bright colors are really fun - I like them a lot. Maybe instead of worrying about boutonnieres, you should do pocket squares for all the guys. Just make the groom's a different color, or have one with a fun pattern, like this: http://www.robertredd.com/itemimages/Po ... efs119.jpg

I like the orange one with the circle/dots pattern. Orange is a total win. And contrasting colors can be lots of fun, I say go for it!

I'm pretty sure I have a friend who has worn a boutonniere on a vest. I don't know if it's socially acceptable or not, he is one of those people who plays with social norms and no one cares. But I thought it looked good.

Maybe instead of worrying about boutonnieres, you should do pocket squares for all the guys.

Yeah, but the vests I've seen don't have pockets...and I'm REALLY digging the vests-only thing for the brothers.

Men, take note: Get yourself a three-piece suit and remove your jacket whenever you get the chance. Suit vests are HOT! (In my opinion...)

Love it. And the vests-only idea is awesome. I've seen boutonnieres on vests before and it looks good.
