Information for Grooms

Tux’s are impressive, ceremonial and there are other garments available too! An elegant suit or aloha shirt can be wholly matrimonial for a groom who’s got style. Weddings are typically al about the bride and what she is wearing, but there’s no reason a grooms can’t be in on some of this action too.

The bride may not blink at spending thousand of dollars for the perfect piece, while the groom frets over a couple of hundred bucks and more often than not goes for the simple solution: Rent a tuxedo.
Hey, let give the poor guy a break. Maybe doesn’t want to wear a tuxedo: It’s hot, its often uncomfortable and when it’s all over, he has nothing to show for it—he has to return it the next day.
When encouraging me to consider a variety of options when dressing for their weddings, always dereference to the bride. The very first question to ask is “What is my bride wearing”.
She definitely sets the stone for what the groom should wear. There’s no reason the groom shouldn’t look good. He’s standing up there at the altar longer than the bride. Brides want their men to look good.

Alternative to Tuxedos:

Before you Shop for the perfect image there are some questions:

• What is my bride to be wearing? (Long formal grown with train? Simple gown with no train? Short dress? Holoku or ring of flowers on her head?
• How comfortable do I want to be? What will match my comfort level physically and mentally?
• What time of day and season is the wedding?
• What’s my personality? Do I want to follow the rules, or break them?
• What kind of food will we be eating? A buffet may require some give at the waistband?

Comfort its only fitting image to look for:

• If you’re a little husky: Avoid a square silhouette. Look for high armholes and a tapered waist.
• If you’re thin: look for a curve at the waist a soft shoulder, high armhole and narrow sleeve.
• If you have a wide waist look for something with a fuller cut, but have it tailored to give you shape. A one-button horn open with more shirt showing gives you a more tapered look.
• If you have big thighs Wear pants with fullness in the legs.
• If you’re small and narrow: avoid a three-button suit, because the neckline cuts your body to high and shortens you visually.
• Most importantly have some fun with your wardrobe and having a manicure and facial it feels wonderful and it is quite vogue and normal to treat your self. One last thing if you are wearing black make sure
  your bride if she is wearing a sleeveless gown to use a deodorant that is not a stick for it will leave white marks on the black tux or suite.
