5 COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS
- MAKE IT A TUX
It’s understandable that many grooms believe the only appropriate outfit for their wedding day is a tuxedo. When else will you get a chance to look like James Bond? While you certainly can wear the customary jet-black tux at your wedding, you don’t need to wear one. Any suit worn right will look great.
- WHITE SHIRT IS BEST
White is not the only appropriate wedding shirt colour. If the bride’s dress is ivory, the groom should wear an off-white wedding shirt as a bride’s dress will look cream with a white shirt next to her. Some other popular choices are soft pink and blue.
- THE GROOM AND GROOMSMEN MUST MATCH
Most grooms would like to stand out or differentiate themselves from the wedding party. Differentiating yourself the correct way is about balance and really is the key to looking stylish together. This can be achieved through colour, fabric texture or style.
Style differentiation could be:
- The groom is in a 3-piece suit while the groomsmen are in a 2-piece.
- Groom wearing a jacket, groomsmen wearing waistcoats.
- Groom wearing a bow tie, groomsmen wearing a necktie.
- Groom wearing a sports jacket, groomsmen wearing suspenders with bow ties.
- CUSTOMISATION IS DIFFICULT
Brides and grooms overestimate the difficulty of getting exactly what they want. A common comment we get at the end of a consultation is how easy it was to get the exact wedding suit they wanted. Going to someone with a lot of experience helps as we understand what you want. We also have over 3000 fabrics, so any colours or fabrics are easily accommodated.
- CUSTOM IS FAR MORE EXPENSIVE
Men often shy away from going custom because they think it’s too expensive. This isn’t always the case, so don’t feel intimidated. Going custom simply means going the extra mile to invest in something that looks and feels like it was made personally for you—something off-the-rack can’t match.
