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 wools.
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…

Always try on your tuxedo at your first fitting and at the
pick up of your rental.
Never order your tuxedo from a catalog, if you can not see
the tuxedo or feel the fabric at the store, you will always
be disappointed with what you receive.
Register your wedding with a men’s formalwear specialist and
not a clothing company or dress company.
Request to pick up your tuxedo rental at least two days before
your wedding day.
There are many other tips involved in tuxedo selection.
