I heard from my mom today that she told my brother, (her fiance) that she was thinking about brown pinstriped tuxes with turquoise. Oh my gosh! We all about died, my brother doesn't want those colors at his wedding and especially a brown tux. She has no taste. I feel sorry for my brother, he has classy taste. What would you do without being really intrusive?

She is serious about the colors.

I am staying out of it for your information, I was asking for my brother o.k. And she is serious, this girl doesn't joke. She is serious about these colors.

The info came straight from my brother all facts.

I say (depending on how close you are) start to talk to her about the wedding. Somewhere down the road things may have been crossed and you may have gotten the wrong info. If it is true, maybe you can start to show her other things, offer your help and show her that you really want to help her make that day special for not only her, but for your brother as well.
Offer to get magazines, go with her to stores, or whatever. You can also help out by nicely mentioning some of your brothers favorite things and see how they can be tied into the ceremony. Colors, foods, etc.
She also may have been just kidding- seeing as though she said she was thinking about it. Just go to her and find out for yourself.

Brown and blue are actually REALLY popular wedding colors right now, but I can't even begin to imagine tuxes like you are describing. Tell your brother to suggest something that would be more appealing to him, and if he's ok with the chocolate and blue, just not the tux thing, maybe he can suggest traditional black tuxes with blue ties or vests to tie in the colors (I'm guessing the bridesmaids will be in chocolate dresses with blue accents, or vice versa?). Besides, if the bridesmaids are in brown and so are the groomsmen, the pictures are going to come out looking really drab. He just needs to talk to her and be honest with her without being cruel about her taste - if he can't do that, they've got a long, unhappy life ahead of them.

I honestly didn't know one could get a brown, pinstriped tux anymore. I mean, we could back in the 70's, but that was different, no one wore wool back then, suits were made from polyester. And we thought a ruffle on the front was just to die for. In other words, we had no taste.
I sure hope your brother stands up to her and goes with a classic, black tuxedo. But it's his call entirely, you stay the heck out of it.
BTW, I think a nice, rich cocoa brown with a pretty, soft robin's egg blue is a great color combination (and I'm serious too).

He's just going to have to tell her that he wouldn't be caught dead in public in such an ugly tuxedo. Probably he should be a little bit more tactful than I am. I've never actually seen a tux like that, maybe they don't actually exist and it won't be a problem. Actually the groom is the one to usually pick the tuxedo, unless he is fashionably challenged and then the bride has the right to say no to powder blue. Since he's supposed to be picking the tux he can wear what he wants. good luck and I'm sorry in advance about the ugly dress you're probably going to have to buy.

first of all i would talk to your brother. maybe he can express that he doesn't want those colors. after that i would possibly discuss the wedding with her and ask her how important that idea is. in general though i would advise not messing with a future bride...we are mean sometimes. i only have a month and 1/2 left and believe me noone is telling me what to do in my wedding. then again i'm not the crazy that would have brown and turquoise pinstripe

Well, your brother could try talking her out of those colour choices but it could be difficult, especially if he wants her to take care of planning the wedding and not really be involved himself. If no one in your family is interested in sitting down and having a chat with her about this, it might be worth your while to consider hiring her some help in the form of a wedding planner. Wedding planners that have been trained know how to diffuse situations like this without stepping on other people's toes. What I would suggest is going to the Association of Bridal Consultant's website:
http://www.bridalassn.com
and search for a consultant in your area (or the bride's area) if you don't live in the same town. Alternatively, check out The Knot's website:
http://www.theknot.com
and look under Local Vendors to find wedding planners in her city. Hope that helps.

Your brother should have some input into his own wedding. He should just tell her that he is not going to wear a brown tux with a turquoise shirt.

this is totally obvious that your sister-in-regulation is frightened that she would be able to ought to proportion "the limelight" with you with the aid of fact she should be "the Queen" the days and weeks in the previous her wedding ceremony and the days and weeks after her wedding ceremony. in basic terms placed, she is insecure that kinfolk will "learn" her wedding ceremony against yours. i does no longer exchange the marriage date. there is not any reason to alter the marriage date. She ought to be grateful which you probably did no longer time table your wedding ceremony hours aside as 2 insecure cousins did. genuine tale . . Bride A scheduled her chapel rite for 10AM accompanied with the aid of a reception brunch at 11AM. Bride B (her cousin) scheduled her formal backyard outdoors rite for 3PM accompanied with the aid of cocktails, dinner, and dancing at 4PM. The ceremonies have been approximately one hundred miles aside so very few people attended the two weddings, and that exchange into Bride B's objective whilst she set the time. She exchange into hoping that maximum folk could choose for an open bar and a 5 direction dinner over waffles and orange juice. replied with the aid of: a authorized wedding ceremony expert / a expert bridal representative / a marriage rite officiant
