Ted’s Tips – Weekly wedding insights from Westin’s wedding planner Ted Daniels…
“I think that black suits instead of tuxedos are a great way to go for several reasons.
Every gentleman needs a black suit, they will have had it will be fitted to them and they will have it to wear again.
Wearing suits in warm weather is a plus as most suits are made with light weight fabric compared to a tuxedo, allowing the gentleman to be more comfortable and perhaps even keep there jackets on through dinner.
The men can wear their own dress shoes which will go well with a suit and will be comfortably broken in, rather than wearing an uncomfortable pair of rented shoes with a tuxedo.
A great gift idea for the groomsmen is a white shirt and color coordinated tie to match or to compliment the colors of the wedding. They can wear the shirt and tie with their suit. I have found that grooms are always lost as to what to get groomsmen and from experience gifts are often not used. Giving them the combination shirt and tie will ensure that the groom’s gifts are used, and that the groomsmen look great.”
