Fashionista GCers, I need your help!
As mentioned in another thread, we are now looking at navy and pink (more of a hot pink/fuchsia...generally a brighter pink--not soft pink). I was thinking navy dresses with pink flowers would be super cute...but then what would the guys wear?? Navy tuxes would be so much navy...but I'm not wild on black tuxes with navy ties/vests. Would gray tuxes with navy ties/vests work? I just can't picture anything.
I'm open to other ideas as well!

I'd say so. As long as your wedding isn't some evening ultra-formal affair.

Yay for black! I may have mentioned it before already, but in my brother's wedding, I served as a groomsmaid, in addition to his groomsmen. My sister-in-law had a bridesman on her side, in addition to her bridesmaids.
I wore a black dress and the bridesman wore the bride's side colors. It was fabulous! Plus, I got the groomsman gift (a collectible kukri, which is a Nepalese knife kinda like a machete) instead of the bridesmaid gift (a Disney snowglobe). Best wedding ever.

I'm with you on black and navy. If you're definitely doing tuxes I think gray would be nice, I'm slightly biased because gray is my favorite color (I know, this is weird). I will say that navy (think very deep midnight, is it black or blue? navy) is actually a traditional color for formalwear, though black has become the more popular choice. I think you could probably pull it off in a not too overwhelming way.
Also, if the groom is wearing a tux, the groomsmen should too. If the groom wears a suit, the groomsmen should too. Mismatching attire is a pet peeve of mine.

Thank you. This drives me crazy. I went to a wedding where the groom had a tux on and the groomsmen each had on a shirt and tie, with no jacket.
The bride and groom will stand out enough on the wedding day: you don't have to make everyone else look awful or out of place to get noticed.
