Q: When should we complete our tuxedo selections?
A: We recommend you make your final decision at least two months before the wedding. Don't wait until all of the male attendants have been decided upon. Stop by, or contact Allegra's Bridal to choose your style. Start ordering tuxedos as soon as possible. Groomsmen that live in the area can visit Allegra's Bridal and quickly get measured. Out of town attendants should get measured at a local formal wear shop (it is a courtesy in the formal wear industry to provide free measurement service), and telephone, e-mail(allegrasbridal@aol.com), or mail their measurements to the bride or groom, or to Allegra's Bridal.
Q: How do I determine my best tuxedo look?
A: Make sure your tuxedo selection matches your personal style. Traditional men choose classic tuxedos or tailcoats. Stylish dressers prefer modern designs and accessories. That's where Allegra's Bridal tuxedo staff excels, we'll help you decide what styles are best.
Q: Should I rent or buy my tuxedo?
A: Most grooms rent their formalwear. This is especially true if your wedding colors are grey or white. However, if you are regularly invited to "black tie" affairs, it pays to buy a classic black tuxedo. Whether you rent of buy, Allegra's Bridal offers you excellent affordable prices. Call us at 703-494-3293(1-888-499-9523), or Email Us for a price quote.
Q: How should the groom be dressed, should he match the groomsmen and other male attendants?
A: No! With just a glance at the wedding group, the groom should stand out. The groom can shoose a different style tuxedo, a different color, or a full dress tailcoat. The grooms accessories(cumerbund, vest and tie) can match the brides gown, while the atendants wear colored accessories that match the bridesmaids dresses. Allegra's Bridal will advise adn assist the groom in achieving a distinctive and elegant presentation.
Q: What is the "morning suit" look and when should it be worn?
A: This look consists of a cutaway jacket, striped trousers, wing shirt, pearl grey vest and Ascot tie. If your wedding is very formal, traditional and before 4 pm this is a great choice!
