Should the Groom Wear a Suit or Tuxedo?<\/h2>\n

How do you decide on the attire your groom should wear on the big day?\u00a0 This is one decision that sets the standard for black-tie, white- tie, formal, or semi-formal affair.\u00a0 It’s also good to consider where your wedding will be located.\u00a0 In the Charleston area we have a large mix of venues from our beautiful beaches<\/a>, historic downtown<\/a>, sweeping plantations<\/a> to boho\/vintage farm<\/a> settings and many more!\u00a0 But what if you don\u2019t really have a preference?\u00a0 We\u2019ve<\/a> got you covered and will provide a simple guide on deciding if the groom should wear a suit or tuxedo in the following blog.<\/p>\n

Suit or Tuxedo, What’s the Difference?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Suits and tuxedos are not created equal.\u00a0 The biggest difference?\u00a0 Satin, which is seen on the detailing of a tuxedo.\u00a0 These details stand out on the buttons, lapel and side-stripe of the trousers.\u00a0 When accessorizing a tuxedo you can include a waistcoat, cummerbund and bow tie.\u00a0 That said, these accessories aren’t absolutely necessary for a tux.\u00a0 It seems like Suits generally have one type of fabric making them slightly less formal.\u00a0 Navy blue suits have been popular for many years now but experts agree this shade is not going away anytime soon.\u00a0 It is a refreshing change from traditional black menswear and can be used with many different creative colors and accessories.<\/p>\n

Formality Check<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A tuxedo is a must for your groom for a black-tie affair.\u00a0 This is a perfect way to set the tone for your formal event.\u00a0 If you list black-tie as your wedding dress code, you’ll likely have a several guests arrive wearing tuxedos.\u00a0 Keep that in mind when planning the groom’s attire so he will be the most formally dressed person at the wedding.\u00a0 Another thought to consider is the venue, for example, a historic downtown Charleston location like The Francis Marion Hotel<\/a> carries a black-tie affair perfectly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
