Black is the most common color for a groom to wear for his wedding, but it’s not the only option. Gray, navy blue and tan are just some of the colors your guy can sport as you get hitched. This is the place to show your personality and make a statement by adding color in all the right places. Well chosen accent colors can really pop on camera and in person, resulting in great style that will turn heads. Don’t be afraid of bright shades like teal,

red or yellow; as well as softer colors like light pink and powder blue; and rich tones including chocolate brown, jewel green and plum. Textured fabrics on cummerbunds and even dress shirts add an extra touch of interest to your groom’s look. He can pump up his style by wearing cuff links or color buttons.

attire to the last minute. Sure, he may not check out websites or magazines for fashion tips; but he should visit a few tux shops about five to six months before the wedding day to get ideas on what’s available. Finalize the decision by taking measurements and placing orders two to five months before the big day. Out-of-town groomsmen should visit a local tux shop to get measured professionally so you can order their attire right away. Professional measurements are always the way to go. Your groom and his groomsmen should leave the tailoring to a pro to make sure they get the best fit. There’s often a wedding bonus for your groom. Many shops have a deal offering the groom a free tux when his groomsmen order their formalwear from the shop too. Typically, a guy rents his shoes when he gets his attire, but buying a new pair of shoes is always an option. You love trying on clothes, buying new accessories and having fun with your look. Your guy might not have the same approach to fashion as you; but he does want to look his best on the big day. Step back and watch him transform from a regular guy into NWD a gorgeous groom. 2
