I was pretty sure I didn't want the groomsmen and young boys in our wedding party to wear the same purple as the bridesmaids. I was thinking of something more neutral, but wasn't sure what . . .
Then, one day sometime after Easter when Mom and I were in J.C.Penney, we found quite a stock of gold-colored ties for young boys. They were heavily discounted; maybe $2 a piece? I was really excited that there were enough to go around in a color that could work! We would have liked to have bought all zip-ties, since they're so easy to use. There were only three left, however, so we bought three zips, one regular tie for our older young groomsman, and one clip-on. I knew from Sunday School class that our little ring bearer could handle a clip-on. :-)
We asked the little boys all to wear dark suits and white shirts. They did even better than that and all wore black suits and looked stunning. :-) When John and I went to pick out tuxes for him and his men, we brought one of the little boys' ties and were excited to find a perfect color match! Hence, gold became our wedding's other color. It ended up working really well, because the dress my mom had fallen in love with was gold, and John's Mom was planning to wear the same plum as the bridesmaids.
