When planning your attire for the biggest day of your life, there is little room for error when it comes to the details of your wardrobe. With hundreds of friends, family and probably many people you will be meeting for the first time it is important to make a lasting impression to all. Show everyone that you took all the necessary precautions in order to look your best on your big day.
 

 

GROOM’S TUXEDO

A vast array of lighter weight fabrics are available for a luxurious feel and styles ranging from classic to contemporary. The style and accessories worn should always compliment your bride.  

 

 

FORMAL SHIRT

A pleated shirt adds elegance to your atttire and may have either a wing tip or point collar.  French Cuffs make for a stunning impression and your shirt color for your entire party should always compliment the bride’s dress.

 

 

FORMAL JEWELRY

Cufflinks are an essential element and will usually have coordinating button studs worn with your formal shirt, adding richness to the chest area below your bow tie.

 

 

SUSPENDERS

Formal trousers do not utilize a belt and are worn around the true waistline and require suspenders or “braces” to keep them in place. Suspender color should compliment the color of the tuxedo and accessories you are wearing.

 

 

FORMAL SHOES

Formal shoes incorporate the patent leather finish and are needed to compliment the satin attributes of your tuxedo. The proper footwear is mandatory to achieve a true “head-to-toe” ensemble.
