You have the perfect woman and she said yes. Your boys are ready to lend you a hand by escorting those fussy bridesmaids down the aisle. While you and the guys may be more concerned about where to go and what to wear to the bachelor party you can bet she is worrying about how you will look standing next to her. Selecting the tuxedos or other wedding formal wear should be a joint decision. But in case she lets you go it alone here are some tips to help you guys get the right look and fit.

The first thing you needs to do is to make sure that you and everyone involved knows the difference between a formal suit and a tuxedo. Wedding formal wear looks great but are not appropriate for black tie weddings.

Today many men like accessorize as much as women but for a wedding they should be in-keeping with the wedding dress and attire that everyone else is wearing . If you are going to be wearing a wedding Tux then you have to make sure you have all the pieces that make it look great. Tuxedos have a lot of options to choose between, including the cummerbund, bowtie or long tie, vest, suspenders, shirt type and whether or not you even want a pocket square. These accessories should be dictated by the style of the wedding.

if the bride cannot join you for first fitting take a swatch with you. You should also know what the wedding budget is and the type of wedding that is being planned. The groom usually selects his attire first and then moves on to the groomsmen. When dressing the groomsmen you need to match the color of your Tux to their suits and the accessories and piping is generally matched to or at least complementary to the shade of the bridesmaids dresses.

Tie and vest selection can be where there is a breakdown. We recommend that the entire party buy or rent from the same store and make sure the patterns on these items are the same for everyone. Shoes and cufflinks should also be the same so that you have a uniformed look.

The groom can distinguish his look by wearing a different style vest and tie, ones that complement the brides dress. for traditional weddings it is generally acceptable to wear only gray formal wear before 6 p.m. Learn more about choosing tuxedos and formal wear at iwedplanner.
