How to Make Suiting Up for Your Wedding Attire Fun, Easy and Efficient

You bought the ring, you proposed, wedding planning has begun, and now it’s time to suit up.

As a groom-to-be, picking out what you and your groomsmen will wear is your time to shine. Choosing your wardrobe is an important part of the wedding-planning process and something you should take charge of so your bride doesn’t have another task to add to her to-do list. But to make it easier on yourself too, here are three things to keep in mind when deciding how to outfit yourself and your guys.

Take pride in your wedding style

Wedding photos last forever, and you’re going to look back at what you wore on this one day for a long time so now’s the time to take some major ownership over your style. If you’re going for a traditional look, a tuxedo or a classic black suit may be the best option. For a more casual vibe, you could simply go with a dress shirt and tie or a dress shirt and coat without a tie. Whatever you choose, make sure it fits with the color palette and overall aesthetic of your big day. These elements will dictate the details of you and your groomsmen’s attire. If you’re going for black-tie wedding style, for example, your boutonniere will probably be more minimal, with pops of white, green and maybe a dash of yellow (it will always match the bride’s bouquet). If you and your bride decide on a bolder wedding style, you may choose a patterned tie or a more vividly colored boutonniere. Whatever you do, own it. And don’t be afraid to make your look slightly different from your groomsmen’s. This trend goes beyond season or setting and ensures that everyone looks sharp.

Imagine you find the perfect suit or tuxedo for your wedding, but the store you bought it from isn’t near one (or any) of your groomsmen. What are your options now?

Corral your guys

Regardless of the wedding attire you choose, one of the most daunting tasks will be coordinating your groomsmen so everyone has exactly what they need when the wedding day arrives. It’s common for groomsmen to wait until the last minute to order their gear, but you want to avoid this at all costs. The key is to be organized and to start the process at least four months in advance. It’s okay to be persistent with your groomsmen and remind them of the timeline and ordering details. Trust us, don’t be afraid to check in with them frequently. You may feel a little groomzilla-ish, but better safe than sorry.
