As hard as it is for the bride to choose the proper attire for her figure, it is just as hard to pick something that fits well for the groom. Let’s face it you will never be the center of attention like you are on your special day, and you will never have so many pictures being taken of you in your life. Here is a simple guideline to follow based on your physique.
If you are tall and thin, you have looked out because your best wedding attire that would suit you best is the tuxedo. A modern look for tuxedo’s now days are a single breasted 2-button jacket. This jacket is a great selection for you because although you are thin the jacket and make you look fuller, with nice strong broad shoulders. Now the only concern you may have depending on your height is to watch the length of the pantsuit and the arm length of the jacket. Depending on how tall you are, they may be a little shorter, which can ruin your whole look.
For the tall muscular type a black tuxedo will definitely make you look more slimmer than if you choose any summer colour suits such as tan, they would be less flattering than the classic black tuxedo. Also when looking at tuxedo styles try to look for a round lapel, to make you look less bulky. Invest in a vest as it will compliment your waist and it will not draw your eye to your stomach area. Beware of sizing around the neck. When you are a muscular man, usually clothing items always tend to fit perfectly with your correct size but your neck sizes do change depending on the material.
Short and Slim groomsmen’s are better off sticking with a 2 or 3 buttoned jacket. If you would like to give some extra height for yourself try to look for a jacket that has there buttons lower to make your torso look longer. If you would like to look broader in the shoulders try asking the seamstress at the boutique to add some shoulder pads to give that little bit of perfection to your wholesome look.
Short and Broad groomsmen’s need to remember to stay clear of the European broad suit types. It is best to keep it simple, stick with a single breast jacket, once again for height keep an eye out for the low button jackets. You would typically look very well in one button jacket type because you are broader in your physique. Make sure that with your suit pants, they do fit you correctly and do not look baggy around your thighs. You must have a comfortable fit.
Petite smaller brides are flawless gorgeous in a sheath or a-line gowns. Try to look for gowns that have an empire waist. This can enhance your petite figure and make your torso look longer. Beware of the ball gown dresses, it is found that if you have a petite physique the ball gowns can be too much for you, and can overwhelm your frame.
Tall and Slim are best for the sheaths type of dresses. Sheath will embellish your body type by showing all of your curves and stunning body features. Sheath would be your best fit, however if you do want more of a traditional look you can go for a ball gown dress. Since you are tall, wearing a ball gown will make you stand out more, and give you the whole WOW factor.
Voluptuous brides look absolutely amazing in a mermaid type of dress. The mermaid type of dress will caption all of your curves and hourglass body figure. It is suggested to be the best if you are voluptuous. To make your arms and shoulders look slimmer, it is suggested to wear a thicker strap for the dress.
It is well known that weddings are not inexpensive. From the main necessities like the venue, marriage license, food and beverage, to the optional necessities that you wish to add to your wedding such as photographer & videographer, transportation, Music, and decorations can all be added to your special day. Because your wedding attire does cost approximately 10% of your total budget here are some suggested tips if you are looking for a deal while choosing your attire.
New dress collections are available to salons twice a year. The first collection becomes available and on sale in the spring, and runs through until the end of summer. The second collection comes out in the beginning of fall and follows through into the end of the winter.
If you are looking for a deal, all markdowns in the dresses are marked by the end of the season, since many salons are trying to get rid of their old stock before the new collection come out.
Consider buying your attire off the rack. By doing so you could be saving a significant amount of money. However I do recommend that if you do choose this option be aware that you will need to find your own seamstress to fix any alternations, and once your gown is purchased there is little to no chance that you are able to bring it back.
Trunk shows are very profitable, as you can view different designers and their attires. Sample garments offer bonuses and discounts when purchasing an item through them.
Depending on the attire you choose, a way to look for a cost-effective dress is by looking at the type of dress. Lets face it, the more material and bead work that is used on your dress the more money you are spending on your attire. Every detail that is done on your dress will cost you something.
Many brides also see their wedding as it is just one day, and are not too keen on spending a fortune on a dress that they will be wearing only once. So if you fall into this category renting a dress would be your best bet. You can ask your local boutiques, if they offer and money saving options that could lead to renting their gown for the day as opposed to purchasing it.
It is very traditional for the grooms to rent their tuxedos. For the groom itself normally when you have scheduled and rented all of your groomsmen’s attire at the same location the groom’s attire is free.
When renting your tuxedo or suit if you would like to lower the cost of the renting fee, you can decline the cufflinks, tie, vest and shoes.
Depending on the groomsmen, some may have the same type of suit. So if your event is not a formal black tie event, you can always have all the groomsmen wear the same style suit that they already previously owned and just match them all by having them wear the same color tie and vest.
