Choose black or white. If you don't have a swatch or the colors of the wedding, or you can't find a perfect match at the tuxedo rental shop, go the traditional route with a black or white vest and tie.

Decide on ivory. If the wedding colors are light pastels--such as yellows, pinks or light blues--ivory vests and ties are a great choice because the color is neutral.

Tips & Warnings
Always talk to the bride about matching colors of tuxedos with the colors of the wedding. Better yet, bring the bride with you to the tuxedo shop to help coordinate the colors.
Never expect the tuxedo colors to match perfectly with the bridesmaids' dresses. The only way this will happen is if the tuxedo shop also made the bridesmaids' dresses and they use the same materials to make matching vests or ties. Settle for close matches in color. It's highly unlikely that anyone will notice the difference.
