Top 3 Groom Style Questions...Answered

After you've found your wedding dress, it's time to focus on the groom's style. Whether he'll be renting or buying a tuxedo or suit for the wedding, it's important that the groom's style compliments the bride's. Talk to your groom about what he would like to wear and go with him to several stores and tuxedo rental shops to decide on his style. Once you've settled on what the groom will be wearing, complete his look with a boutonniere that matches your bridal bouquet. To help you get started, here are the answers to the most commonly asked groom style questions.

Q. My groomsmen and I would rather wear our own tuxes than rent them. Will it seem strange that we have different lapels and notches? We're having a black-tie wedding, and I want us to look different than our male guests.

A. Don't worry too much about not being a perfect match -- if you own tuxes already, there's no sense in not using them! To make sure you and the guys stand out, think outside the tux. Find ties that match the hue of bridesmaid dresses or bouquets. And definitely pipe up when it comes to choosing the boutonnieres! These lapel flowers have come a long way since the carnation you wore to the prom. Choose an option that will gel with the other flowers in your wedding. Because most of your male guests will be in tuxes, touches like these are important and will help you and your guys stand out.
