Ideas for Men's Wedding Suits

Men’s wedding suits for both grooms and other males in the wedding party can vary a great deal from one culture to the next.  Today, there are options that range from the traditional to the formal and even the casual, making it possible to find the right suits to fit the mood and setting for the nuptials.

• Go with the traditional suit.  In many cultures, a simple black tuxedo is a safe bet for men’s wedding apparel.  Considered a classic look that is both cultured and sleek, choosing to wear a black tux means that photos of the wedding party won’t be dated and embarrassing a couple of decades down the road.

• Opt for something formal.  Going one step beyond a tuxedo, men in the wedding party may opt for the more formal morning suit or even a suit of tails, depending on the theme and setting for the wedding ceremony.  Like the tux, these more formal options can also be rented for the event.

• Consider a uniform.  In lieu of a wedding suit of some type, men who are members of a branch of the military may choose to wear dress uniforms.  Care should be taken in using this approach, with only the groom wearing the uniform if any of the groomsmen are not also active or retired members of the military.

• Take the casual route.  More casual approaches can also be used while still looking polished and professional.  A basic black or blue two piece suit will work just fine for garden weddings and similar settings.  For an even more casual look, the groom and groomsmen may also choose to go with a dark solid color sports jacket, a pair of coordinating slacks, and a button down dress shirt without a tie.  Casual options for men are great for home weddings, being married by a municipal officer such as a justice of the peace or a registrar, or even for a wedding ceremony at the beach.
