groomsmen won't wear pink!

Maybe tell them its for photos and ceremony only, and they can take the vest/ties off at the reception

Can't say I am having that problem, but I have seen plenty of weddings where the groomsman are wearing pink. Telling them to suck it up!

Your FS needs to talk to them, not you. If they really refuse, have them wear black or neutral vests with pink and yellow flowers.

Can they at least wear a pink tie and diff vest? that way its just like one stripe..WOW tell them real men are secure enough to wear pink lol. no jk, dont' want any drama..but it's YOUR day they need to stop acting like 5th graders..I agree with Analys, FS needs to talk to them.

Have the girls wear pink and the guys wear yellow? I agree that your fh needs to talk to them instead of you.

Hmmmm I know your color scheme is important to you, but a wedding isn't just for women, and if the men are uncomfortable wearing pink, there's not really anything you can do to force them, especially if they are paying for the tux rentals themselves. Honestly, you should be concerned with the BMs and let your FH deal with the GMs...what about yellow vests and tying the pink into the bouts? Or, like Analy said, neutral (black or white) vests with pink and yellow bouts. I can't say I blame them...I'm a bit tired of pink accessories on men.

I didn't even want to go there. I had lavender colored dresses for my girls and I wasn't about to force the guys to wear lavender. I didn't even try. DH was already making an issue about the flowers. They made lavender boutonnieres anyways and they didn't have a choice. We picked a neutral silver color for the vests and ties for the boys and DH wore white. It looked really nice.

Definitely have your FH talk to them. I do like the idea of neutral vest/tie with a colorful bout. I am so glad that my FH favorite color is purple (pimpin purple) so it'll be easy to have our GM wear lavender. Good luck!

Well, I know some men wear pink, but honestly, most don't. I'm not surprised that you're having trouble with that. I know it's your wedding, but honestly, some guys just DON'T want to wear pink. It would be like trying to get them all to wear kilts when they're not Scottish. Just not happening.

Im having the guys wear bright fuchsia pink and they were wonderful about it. Have your FH explain to them that its not about them, its about the two of you and ultimately making you guys happy. Of course, have him sugar coat it a little (not say it rudely like above). I'm sure he can get the guys on board.

Yeah most guys hate Pink! I know when I jokingly bring up pink to my DH He gets all pissy! I agree like stated above have the girls wear pink and the guys wear yellow. Have the guys bouts be pink and girls flowers yellow? That could be a way to mix both colors on both sides.

My husband had to wear hot pink vest and tie and they all hated it. The second the ceremony was over they all got changed. Your FS needs to talk to them. If they can take the vests and ties off right after they may be more comfortable or could they wear a black vest and just the pink tie? Its not up to you to convince them its up to your fs they are his groomsmen. Good luck

Our main accent color is pink as well. I know my guys. They would all prefer to be in camo so I didn't bother asking about wearing a pink vest. They will be silver or black but I will ask that they wear pink bouts.

I hate to say it but pink is one of my colors and I won't even bother asking the guys to wear it. They will wear silver.

I only had one guy in pink (I had 6 accent colors) and he actually loved it once he had it on. But he was my man of honor so he knew HE couldn't put up a fight with me haha. Have your FH talk to them. Otherwise go for a bolder vest/tie color and have the pink pop in the flowers. Good luck.

I am with The future Mrs. Kline, have the guys wear yellow and the girls wear pink. Silver would be a good option and then use pink and yellow for the bouts. You don't want them uncomfortable and complaining all day. Remember their friends will see the photos of them in the pink also. Just don't let a color scheme ruin friendships.

Alright- I'm going to ignite a shitstorm here... but oh well...

I think women should not even consider pink as a main color for a wedding, period. An accent color, in limited quantities- fine. But forcing your man (or your groomsmen) to wear pink is very inconsiderate of him. It's strips him of his masculinity! Pink is a feminine color- and he is a man! Don't FORCE them to wear pink. I am not shocked you got some push back on this at all.

I'd leave them in a classic black, and have some color on the flowers.

Personally i think its silly for them to say they arent wearing it. they are grown ass men and they wont were a color bc why? ya its a girl color, but who cares its a freaking color! no big deal. just my opinion though.

I know some odd men, including men who if asked would wear a hot pink dress. We did try to get them to wear a pink kilt once, but they wouldn't they insisted that the power of the kilt be preserved--but they did all wear a regular kilt. So among my friends, I would have no trouble with pink or purple on guys.

However the majority of males at the wedding are current or former military, I went with blue. The males will be in either silver (groom) or royal blue (GM). I figured there was no way in H*** they could object to those colors. Plus with the skin colors of my girls, blue was pretty much the only thing I could think of which would look good on all of them.

I can understand how you must feel and I can see it from different eyes. I think there are variables that come into play here. In some parts of the country we see men in accent pinks, shirts, ties etc on a regualr basis, but if other parts of the country no one would be caught dead in pink.

having said that I am using the color purple. I told his guys I was making them all wear purple tuxes - and they were great - and said what ever I want - One even told us he would wear the purple dress my sister was pushing back on me about if I wanted. Having said that, they are really going to wear light grey tuxes with royal purple ties and hankercheifs. they will be made from the same material as the girls dresses.

So I think you need to know your guys, and your spouse and the area you live in and be considerate of all that.
