How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Tuxedo


Almost everybody dreams of getting married to the one person that they want to spend forever with. Making the decision then to tie the knot is indeed a very big step in any person's life. For men, once they have "popped the question", there must really be no turning back! And when she says yes, which she most definitely will, there will be more things to decide on before that special day arrives. Though brides take most of the responsibility in planning and in the details of the most awaited event, grooms are not completely free to just sit back and relax through it all. The wife-to-be is going to look marvelous on that special day and the groom should look equally fantastic. If you are as clueless as the people around the corner, then here are tips that will hopefully be of big help to you as you go along the process of dressing up on your all important wedding day.

First, spend time shopping around different stores that offer men's formal wear. Do not just buy or rent your tuxedo from the first store you visit. A lot of different stores offer different styles, colors, and prices for the items that you need. Bear in mind that, aside from finding the clothing that could best fit your body you should also want to find the best deals for what you are buying or renting.

Talk to your bride before deciding on what to buy; not after, before. It is good to coordinate with her with regards to what will suit you best. You must have an idea on how she will look on the wedding so that you will have a better picture of what you should be wearing, too. It is even a much better idea if your bride goes along with you while you shop. In that way, you will know you'll get something that would not miss the mark! Remember, she has dreamed about this day since she was 5 or 6. She already knows what she wants her groom to look like standing at the wedding alter!

Do not ever wait until the last minute to choose your tux or any of your formal wear. It won't matter what you choose if you can't get your order on time for the occasion. Time is very important if you want to look fabulous and not have to settle for anything mediocre. Go shopping well in advance so that you need not worry if there are any required alterations or revisions.

Finally, do not forget to accessorize. While it is a must for the bride to have complimentary accessories to highlight her look, it does not mean you can't have your own jewelry, too! As they say, these glittering pieces add elegance and sophistication to any formal occasion, especially for men. One of the items of men's jewelry that has been gaining popularity is the cufflink. Wedding cufflinks are especially favored since they can also be gifts for groomsmen. They come in a variety of designs, shapes, and sizes to choose from; try some unique Sports Cufflinks, or simple, yet elegant silver Superman Cufflinks. Wedding cufflinks can even be personalized to match the occasion's theme.

Try some nice tuxedo shirt button covers, a vintage pocket watch, or maybe even an understated tie bar if you are going with a more traditional look. While you know your bride will look stunning and be adorned with only the best and most beautiful, try your best to show her you care by doing the same. She will appreciate it.

So are you ready to jump on the bandwagon of marriage? Congratulations and best of luck to you and your bride! ( By Leah Pisay and Jeff Piper )
