LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE BOYS
tips to looking good
The groom's formalwear selection will
depend upon many things; his coloring
and build, the bride's and bridesmaid's
dress color and style, the season, time of
day and personal taste. Here are a few
things to remember when choosing
what your man will wear.
· Darker colors have a slimming effect.
· Ties, vests, cumberbunds or
suspenders that are the same color
as the bridesmaid's dresses bring the
wedding party together.
· If the men in the wedding party are
identically dressed, you may wish
to set the groom apart. A slightly
different boutonniere or neckwear
accomplishes this effectively.
· Tuxedos should be reserved
three months in advance and
all measurements taken at least
three weeks prior to the wedding.
Additionally, all the men should try
their tuxedos on a few days before
the wedding for any last minute
adjustments.
· Out-of-town groomsmen can have
their measurements taken at a
men's formalwear store near them
and forwarded to the formalwear
store where you have reserved your
tuxedos.
· Rented formalwear usually includes
a jacket, vest or cumberbund, pants,
suspenders, shirt, cufflinks, studs and a
tie.
· Usually, shoes are rented from the
same store to maintain consistency.
· Find out when the tuxedos may be
picked up and when they must be
returned.
