Now is the time to choose the accessories for your tuxedos. His is where you get to customize items to coordinate with bridesmaid’s dress colors, ribbon color, or any other color theme you may be using. You have several options to choose from:
Cummerbunds
– Cummerbunds are the pleated belts worn around the waist. They are
worn with matching bow ties and are considered the most conservative way
to dress the men. Remember always keep the pleats up.
Fashion
Vests – Most wedding parties are choosing to rent fashion vests with
their tuxedos. Vests offer a variety of colors and patterns to help
compliment any theme you may have chosen. Fullback vests gives a more
dressed look when the jacket is not being worn. Boys and larger sizes
will usually come in the backless, bib type cut to accommodate most
fitting challenges. Some wedding parties that are dealing with extreme
climate issues will sometimes use the fullback vest instead of jackets
to accommodate for excessive heat.
Fashion
Ties – The type of shirt you have chosen will dictate what neckwear
options you choose from. Bow ties can we worn with either the wing tip
collar or spread collar shirts while long ties look best with the spread
collar shirt. Long ties have been the fashion for many years but the
bow tie is making a comeback in popularity as recently as this year’s
Academy Awards.
Here are some helpful hints in choosing the formal accessories for your wedding:
· When the flower girl’s dress is similar to the Bride, dress the ring bearer similar to the Groom. If the flower girl is dressed like the bridesmaids, dress the ring bearer similar to the groomsmen.
· When choosing accessories for the groomsmen, look for a color to compliment the color fo the bridesmaids dresses, don’t be hung up on matching the color.
· When choosing accessories for the escort and fathers, black compliments the color of most any color dress they might be photographed with and also serves as a way to distinguish them as a special member of the wedding party.
