Whatever colour you want. It is now usual to tie the colour in with your bridesmaids or your bouquet.

I didnt have buttonholes... didnt have any flowers at all. Do your wedding your way. My mother in law said i was mental for having no flowers... i soon showed her!!! Turns out she liked what i had done instead :)

A wedding isn't complete without flowers. The men tend to now have the coulour of the bridesmaids for there flowers plus then that is carried out in flower arrangements in the church or where ever the ceremony is.

Sorry.. Is it your wedding or your mother in laws? It's got nothing to do with anyone other than the two people getting married.

Groomsmen and dads usually wear white then the groom has something a bit more exciting like my husband had a rose and thistle as I had the thistle in my bouquet x
