Hubby told him today after we picked it -- HIS choice, not mine.
Anyhooooo.... my son just rolled his eyes and said he LIKES IT! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Guess yellow looks different in the store than at home :p He'll never admit we were right, but he looked SO proud when he brought the tux out to show his girlfriend. His GF is thrilled and she thinks it is beautiful.
I have the flowers and I just have to arrange them -- white roses with yellow lilies and yellow snapdragons. (I'll keep the lilies away from the cats - I promise!) I am considering adding our HUGE white irises that have a purple ruffle on the outside. It'd be a nice contrast to all the yellow, but not sure if I want to break up the "theme". BTW, they decided on a bouquet because its less combersome than a corsage and she can just leave it on the table when they are dancing. From what I hear, most kids are doing wrist corsages this year. I dont care - I'd rather make a bouquet anyhow. What's the "look" for proms regarding flowers - big or small? I have enough flowers to do 5 bouquets, so I can make it as big or small as it needs to be (then I get to keep the remaining fowers in a vase for myself! :D)
Thanks again for everyone's input regarding the tux in the first place.
