Picking the Perfect Wedding Tuxedo for the Groom

Picking the Perfect Wedding Tuxedo for the Groom

The Wedding Dress is the Centerpiece of the Wedding, but the Groom Also Needs to Look His Best.

There are so many elements that go into planning a wedding. From choosing the right DJ to coordinating color schemes, a bride has her work cut out for her. Now while most people see the wedding dress as the centerpiece of the wedding, the groom and his groomsmen also deserve to look snazzy. This is where the importance of a good tuxedo comes into play.

A Quality Tuxedo is Important for the Groom

Tips for Choosing the Right Wedding Tuxedo

  1. The first rule for choosing the right tuxedo, for both the groom and his groomsmen, is coordinating with the bride and her bridesmaids. The wedding is also the first chance for the bride and groom to show off their style as a couple. Choose a tuxedo that not only makes the groom look fantastic, but compliments the uniqueness of the wedding gown.
  2. Nothing is more frustrating that a poor-fitting tuxedo. When choosing the style of the tuxedos, always let his frame dictate the fit. For tall, slender men most styles of tuxedos will look marvelous. If he'd like to add bulk, a double-breasted tuxedo will make him look broader. For bulkier men, a fitted suit will make them look slimmer. Dark tuxedos--black, navy, and dark gray - are the best color choices for burlier fellas, while light colors--tan, light gray, or white--are best suited for lean body types.
  3. While the groom and his groomsmen want to look like rock stars at the wedding, they also want to be comfortable. Pants should fit comfortably whether they are sitting, standing, or dancing. The jacket should cover his butt, with the vent laying flat. If the vent pulls open, the tuxedo is too tight. Bow ties should also fit snugly around the collar. 
  4. The groom should also have some unique accessories to set him apart from the rest of his party. This could be special cuff links, a boutonniere, or a tie and vest combo of a different color. If the wedding has a multi-color scheme, have the groom wear one shade, while his party wears the other.

Weddings are just as special for a groom as they are for the bride. Let him know how special and handsome he is, by helping choose the right tuxedo for himself and his groomsmen.
