I am getting married in may and I my brides maids dresses are fuscia and I am having bright color flowers such as yellow, orange, pink, and several others. But not sure what color to put the groomsmen in. I know they don't want to be in pink. Any Ideas?

I would be tempted to put them in a nice bright sapphire blue. Or other shade that goes along with your exact shades of yellow and orange, They shouldn't hate blue too. much. Good luck!

Actually a traditional black tux with a fuscia tie would be very appealing... you dont want them to look clownish, so stick with the black tux, but add some color either with the vest or tie... since you are having so many colors, you can always have each guy wear a different color tie... and if you really want to avoid the fuscia, then try some other bright colors like yellow

Your colors are so vibrant and colorful that it woudl be a shame to just slap them in generic black and white!
With that color scheme you have great options though! Consider this:
Your colors sound very bright. I don't know if you're going with the more electric shades, or more pastels, but regardless there is a green for you! If its more pastel colors, go with mint green. If it is more electric colors, go fo a funky lime green! Groomsmen have the vests that they wear underneath their jackets, and those would look awesome in any shade of green. Plus, green goes fantastic with yellow, orange, pink and fuscia! Now that, would be wedding I would LOVE to take pictures of!

That is hard to say but the only thing I can say is when you are asked to be in someones wedding you have all kinds of things you may not like to do or wear thats when you rightfully decline to be in it. My guys are wearing lavendar/lilac and they knew this before they said yes to being in the wedding. Some men look good in lighter colors they consider "girly" colors but I suggest they wear the pink, nothing is wrong with them wearing pink. If the bridesmaids are wearing pink they should wear pink or the color scheme may be thrown off. Unless the girl they walk with wears yellow he wears yellow, the other girl wears green he wears green. You never know that pink will stand out real nice in the pics but as long as its not hot pink maybe a light shade of pink. See what I'm saying. I would leave it like that, personally.

I think I would put them in black tuxes, but spice it up with shirts and tie combos that reflect your colors. Like how about a bright yellow shirt with a fushia vest and tie; orange with the yellow, etc. Make each guy a different combo - why go with boring? It sounds like you love color, let your wedding reflect that!
Good Luck and Have Fun!

You could do a black tux with a black vest and tie. That would be the safest choice. You could have your groom wear a black tux with a white vest and tie to make him stand apart.
Or black tux with silver vest and tie. (silver can be nice- my sons were ring bearers and we had a silver brocade vest and tie and it was very pretty)
Black tux with a fuscia vest but not a tie- do the collarless shirts with the button thing at the neck- that would be less pink.
I bet if you look you can find a black vest & tie with some sort of fuscia accent pattern- like a stripe, herringbone pattern, or sublte polka dot sort of pattern..
Or a shade of vibrant green like someone already suggested- that would look amazing!

I was having the same issue the other day. I went and was talking to the tux guy and he suggested just doing the black suit with the ivory vest and tie. This way it would match my dress and they do not feel out of place. They have many different ivory vest styles. Take in your dress to the tux shop and they will find a vest to match your dress. The suit turned out very nice.
Silver is a bad idea. I seen a silver vest with the suit and it was ugly. I thought about that until he showed it too me.
I hope this helps.

The groom's men should be wearing black tuxes to match the groom. I'm sure they'd be okay wearing a pink vest - my bf wore a pink vest as a best man in our friends' wedding this summer. It looked really nice!

Well, first you have to see what your options are. I would go with something very basic since you'll have so many other bright colors. Why not have them in basic black suits/tuxes with brightly colored boutonniers? They'd really pop that way. Or use silver vests & ties as a nice accent.

A good idea is to put them in a neutral color like silver or gray vest & ties. I chose a beautiful champagne color that really goes with anything.

You could have them wear gray suits with the fushia cumberbun and bowtie, this is how it is usually done. Most men don't mind since it is for the occasion and sometimes the colors go very well and looks great. Try taking one of the dresses to the place where you are planning to purchase the mens wear and match up accordingly
