SELECTING MEN'S FORMALWARE for the WEDDING
Contributed By Rose Smith



Have you ever noticed that weddings seem to be all about the bride? There's information available for the wedding dress, shoes,makeup and accessories. But...what about the groom and hisushers? After all, they need to wear something to the wedding too!

So, what should the groom (and his attendants) be wearing toa wedding? In most cases, it depends on the time of day thatthe wedding is to take place. If the wedding is to be a very formalevening affair, a tuxedo is required. For a morning or afternoonwedding, the attire of the men will depend more upon a combinationof preferance and the type of wedding theme you've chosen.

For example, the groom should not be showing up in a formalblack tuxedo for a wedding on the beach. A lightweight andlighter color suit would be more appropriate. If you're planninga very casual wedding, then lightweight dress pants, shirt, tie(optional) and blazer would be appropriate as well.

The groom, father-of-the-bride, and groomsmen should allvisit a professional formalwear shop for guidance and informationon the type of attire that is available. Most men don't realize justhow many decisions go into choosing a wedding suit or tuxedo.You'll need to choose from single-breasted and double-breastedjackets; collars that are peaked, notched or shawl; cummerbund or vest; bow tie, ascot (these are double-knot ties with ends folded over) or a casual tie.

Also, it's very important that everything coordinates with the attire of the bride and bridesmaids, so make sure you know exactlywhat they will be wearing and the colors chosen. (Take a fabricsample or a picture of the dresses).

Unless you plan on attending a lot of formal occassions afterthe marriage, most men are better off renting their formalwearas opposed to buying it. There are a lot of men's stores thatcarry large selections of wedding attire and they will do alterationson rented suits. However, before you rent anything, make sureyou know what comes with the package. Do you need to buythe cummerbund and/or vest? Are the shoes included? Whatabout the tie and shirt? Make sure you get a written receiptthat states what is and is not included in the rental.

The groom and other gentlemen should be measured fortheir suits approximately three months before the wedding.For any groomsmen who live out of town, they can go toa local shop for measurements, then send the informationto the groom so he can set up the rental. Please makesure your ushers understand that they are not to make theirown rental arrangements in another city. You will have noway of knowing if they actually picked the correct suit, color,or accessories until they show up for the wedding, at whichpoint you will have one very unhappy bride - not a good thing!

The groom should look after all the rental arrangements at one store only. Any groomsmen coming from out of town should arrive at least 2 to 3 days before the wedding for final measurements in case there needs to be last minute alterations done.

Most rentals can be picked up a day or two in advance.Check the suits/tuxedos over carefully before leaving the store with them. Look for any stains, rips, snags or possiblecigarette burns. Everyone should try their suit on to be sureit fits properly and the length of the pants and jacket sleevesare correct. Be sure to wear the shoes you will be wearing at the wedding for this. Check the cuffs and collar for frayed material, and make the jackets don't have any buttons missing.

After the wedding, the bestman usually returns his own andthe groom's suit to the formalwear shop by the next businessday. The groomsmen are responsible for returning their ownsuits, also within the next business day to avoid late charges.Small food or beverage stains can usually be removed easilyenough, however if a suit is heavily damaged, be prepared topay for it. So fellows, be careful during the wedding!
