Weddings
today offer couples the opportunity to celebrate and
commit to their love, and more and more couples are
actively seeking ways to go beyond what’s traditional
and express their personalities. The men’s formalwear
industry has kept up with the ever changing trends…
• The Classic Black Tuxedo: this style remains
the most popular option in a two button, single breasted
satin inset lapel with a dash of color on the vest and
tie.
• The High Fashion Tuxedo: represents that sleek,
unique look while maintaining a formal look for your
wedding.
• The Traditional Men’s Formalwear: this
has various selections, such as the white or ivory dinner
jacket; normally worn in the spring and summer months,
typically in a garden or tropical destination wedding.
• The Cutaway: a grey morning suit worn for a.m.
formal weddings, until noon.
• The Stroller: a traditional jacket worn for
semi-formal daytime weddings, until 6 p.m.
• White Tie and Tails: a black full dress tail
jacket, worn with a white wing collar shirt, and white
vest and tie, and occasionally with white gloves. This
look is proper after 6 p.m.
• Accessories: this is where all the fun begins,
you can select from thousands of different vest and
tie options, from the classic black to as mild or wild
as you want to be.
• Fabrics: this is where the rental or retail
prices will vary; there are many fabric options for
you to choose from, from the basic wool to the many
super types of wool.
• Choose your look: The tuxedo ensemble should
always complement the bride and bridesmaids.
The tuxedo is also a reflection of the groom’s
personality, so put as much thought into your choice
as your bride does into her wedding gown. Remember this
is also your special day. Follow these tips, to make
your wedding day trouble free…
1. Always try on your tuxedo at your first fitting and
at the pickup of your rental.
2. Never order your tuxedo from a catalog, if you cannot
see the tuxedo or feel the fabric at the store, you
will always be disappointed with what you receive.
3. Register your wedding with a men’s formalwear
specialist and not a clothing company or dress company.
4. Request to pick up your tuxedo rental at least two
days before your wedding day.
