Advice For The Groom On Wedding Day Attire Etiquette

On your wedding day, all eyes are on you and your fiancé. For both the bride and groom the options of what kind of attire to wear on your wedding day seem endless and overwhelming. Before you make any decisions let’s touch on the most common questions that are asked when couples are deciding on men’s attire for the wedding day.

Suit v. Tuxedo: What Is The Difference?

This may be the most important question when it comes to deciding on what fits you and your wedding best. The formality of your wedding has a strong influence on the type of attire you should wear.

Suit

The suit consists of a standard jacket, matching slacks, long tie, with an options vest or suspenders. Depending on your budget, renting or buying comes into play. Generally, renting a suit will be less expensive than purchasing one. The style of the suit, the color and the fit should tell them same story and the brides wedding dress. Most grooms opt for navy, light gray, black or charcoal suits as the color will never go out of style. Suits can be customizable and fitted your body type and liking.

Tuxedo

Tuxedos have satin features including satin buttons and stripe down the side of pants. Tuxes are usually worn with a bowtie and a vest. Tuxedoes are worn for more formal weddings. Make sure the attire compliments the bride’s wedding dress. The tux is most popular choice for a black tie affair, and usually only comes in black, but is available in many different styles.

Coordinating With Your Bride

Take the bride’s dress into consideration when deciding between a suit and a tuxedo. Without giving away too many details have her tell you, or your tuxedo consultant what type of gown she is wearing or the overall feel of your wedding. This way you can better compliment her gown. Whatever you and your bride choose, you want to compliment each other on your wedding day.
