Wedding Planning Guide - Formal Wear for the men Return to Wedding Planning Topics List The men's attire is a vital way of continuing a colour theme, as whilst the Bride's dress may rely on the bouquest for colour, the groom's waistcoat/cravat/tie can create the look you want. A team of superbly dressed ushers wandering around the reception with matching bridesmaids in sight will set the scene perfectly - if coordinated is what you're going for. Alternatively, use the men to ephasise a relaxed, casual affair, wearing just open necked shirts for example. For men that don't like shopping, why don't they make a day/night of it? Follow the after-work-fitting with a curry and a night down the pub. Or see it as an excuse for a day off work. Whilst many women buy their wedding dress, many men hire their suits. If you're not going down the 'top hat and tails' route, then the groom-to-be could treat himself to a tailored suit which he can then wear on other occasions, or even just a high street suit that he can get his money's worth from. Why not ask the ushers/male party to provide their own suits? If you want them to match, pick a simple, plain style and, if all are in agreement, suggest them buying their own rather than giving a wedding present. If you are going to hire your suits, it may be worth asking if your supplier offers discounts for big orders.
