I'm having a small outdoor wedding mid-October. My dress is silver. My attendants are in red. My fiance is wearing his dress uniform which is blue. Should I have the male attendants (his best man, son, and my son the ringbearer) wear blue to match the uniform or grey to follow the red/silver color scheme?

It depends on your taste and the shades of the colors you choose. The bride very rarely matches her attendants (after all the traditional color for a bride's dress is white, and there aren't very many white maid's dresses). The male attendants traditionally match the groom, with slight differences such as a different vest or tie, or a different cut of the tux (or in this case the difference between tux and dress blues).
The male attendants could wear navy like your fiance. This would look very sophisticated in photographs, and leave very little chance of clashing with your dress (silver). If the male attendants wear gray there is a chance that in photographs they will clash with the different shade in your dress and seem awkward.
Another option would be for the male attendants to wear suits/tuxes in a color not in your theme. Black, white, or even tan (depending on the shade of your bridesmaid dresses) could all work. To tie in their outfits with the rest of the wedding party there should be some similar color aspect. A tie and vest in the color of the bridesmaid dresses would be the most common way to tie it all together.
Congratulations!

Hi and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
I say go with BLUE!. It sounds like a small wedding party and if you go with gray then you would be having 4 colors - blue (groom), red (bridesmaids), silver (you) and gray (male attendants). Also, the gray might clash with the silver. The men (except the groom) could wear blue suits, white shirts and red ties (to tie in with the females red dress), then you in your silver dress and the groom in his dress uniform. I think that would look best, but it's just my opinion! Good luck!

Well normally the groom and ring bearer would match the bride. ie. wearing silver. But Since he's in his uniform I'd say have the ringbearer wear blue to match him and then have his attendents wear red to match your attendents. That's normally how it goes. I work in a tuxedo rental store so i've seen every combination ever. But that's how it goes.

A dark grey would work. Don't choose light grey because they will clash with the wedding. Perhaps they can wear an red vest underneath to match your bridesmaids. You won't want them wearing blue since your bridesmaids don't match you, the groom-mens shouldn't match your fiance. Dark grey would be your best bit, hope this helps!

Have them wear a darker shade of blue or else the dark grey will work too. Having him stand out is great. BTW...do not forget to display the flag at the reception. Giving honor where it is due, is very respectful to what your future husband stands for.

I think I would go with grey suit and red ties, unless the best man is also in the service, in which case I would ask him to also wear his dress blues and have the sons in grey.

The mom's are in no way meant to verify - merely supplement one yet another. in the adventure that your mom wears a champagne gown than the groom's mom ought to positioned on perhaps burnt orange or a colour that enhances her. If the mummy's undergo in recommendations, they're in all those team photos so they do no longer desire to adhere out or conflict. My son have been given married 2 weeks in the past in a pink, silver and white wedding ceremony - the mob wore a stunning pink gown that adjust right into some hues darker than the bridemaid's outfits. I had the form of complicated time looking a gown, i ultimately discovered a cream colour pants outfit with photos of silver interior the fabric and massive flowy pants. We had corsages with pink in them and pink ribbon. It regarded quite notably. The bride, my candy new daughter-in-regulation instructed me she did no longer care what I wore, merely that i substitute into happy to be there. My son pronounced he did no longer want me to positioned on black. So it labored out great. sturdy success to you and shelter your self - the strain is annoying!
