Before you go shopping for wedding tuxedos or wedding suits, you want to decide on some important details, specifically wedding theme, personal style, budget, and timeline. All of these factors will not only impact what you are looking for, but also the styles of wedding suits and wedding tuxedos to consider – like formal vs. casual, outdoor attire vs. interior, color, etc. You also want to have a firm idea of ​​how much money you are willing to spend on your wedding tux or bridal gown, as well as how long you have before walking down the aisle.

Finding the style of your wedding dress

Whether you are looking for wedding suits for men or tuxedos for women, it is important to consider your own personal style, as well as the style and theme of the wedding. I mean, a classic black tuxedo isn’t necessarily the best option for a casual backyard or beach wedding. Since most weddings are a reflection of the couple’s personal style, finding a wedding suit or wedding tux shouldn’t be the most difficult decision. Talk to your fiancé (e) before you go shopping at men’s clothing stores or department stores and try to do some research ahead of time.

For black tie weddings, go with a tuxedo. You will look your best and you will definitely put the formal in your formal wear. That does not mean that the wedding tuxedo has to be the traditional black one. Blue and gray wedding tuxedos are becoming more popular, but if you’re looking to add some flair, think outside the box. Wedding tuxedos for men and women can be any color, including white. And if you can’t wear white on your wedding day, when can you do it?

Wedding suits also come in a variety of colors, prints, and fabrics. For a summer or spring wedding, consider going with a lighter color and linen, cotton, or vein sucker. You will look amazing and stay cool.

If you are having a fall wedding, consider incorporating colors from the world around you into your menswear. Burgundy, olive or charcoal will add a fun touch and it is sure to feel super cozy. For winter weddings or if you are getting married in a part of the world that is always cold, consider going with a wool or tweed wedding dress. It’s all about staying warm and comfortable during the ceremony and reception.

There seems to be an old debate as to whether wedding suits and wedding tuxedos should be rented or purchased. Many people will say that the only way to go is to buy; it is a good investment and can always be used again.

Unless you are the type of person who has many occasions to dress in a tuxedo, then you probably will not wear your formal wedding attire again. Take some time to think about whether you really want to spend a few hundred or thousands of dollars on your wedding attire.

This is also the best time to think about your wedding budget and how much of it can be spent on attire. Many couples will choose some details of their day to splurge. If formal wear is your splurge item, go for it. Find what makes you feel like a million dollars. If not, there are wedding suit and wedding tux rental options, as well as women’s tuxedos.

Just remember to stick to your budget and set it early in the process – this helps with every aspect of the planning process, not just deciding what to wear.

The argument that many people will make against wedding attire or wedding tuxedo rentals is that you cannot tailor a rented suit. This is true, but that doesn’t mean you can’t look good in rented clothes. Just make sure that the rental company takes the time to measure and find the wedding attire or wedding tuxedo that has the best fit. This may take some time, but it will be worth it.

If you are one of the people who wants to buy your wedding tuxedos or wedding suits, the retailer will likely provide you with their tailor’s alterations. Depending on the number of suits you have to tailor, your suit or tuxedo may take a few days or a few weeks.

Buy soon

While alterations for wedding suits or wedding tuxedos generally don’t take as long as wedding dress alterations, you still don’t want to wait until the last minute to begin your search for formal wear. Not starting the process early can lead to a hasty decision, a hasty tailoring, and not looking your best on your wedding day.

Starting early also allows for more in-depth research on wedding suit and tuxedo vendors, as well as finding the best tailor. You will save yourself a lot of stress by staying on top of your wedding planning schedule.
