Frequently Asked Questions
What color suit is best for a groom?
Tuxedos should always be black, with white being a rare exception. Otherwise, the groom’s wedding suit should coordinate with the color pallet of the wedding theme and consider the season. Darker-colored suits are generally reserved for winter and harvest colors for the fall. Lights, brights and pastels are preferred during spring and summer with the venue and level of formality being the determining factors.
Do the groom and groomsmen wear the same suit?
Traditionally, the grooms and groomsmen would wear matching attire with the groom sporting a single variation, such as a different colored tie, to stand out. This established a distinctive team look. Today, the groom’s party is more of a theme. Groomsmen usually synchronize fairly closely, but the groom’s variants stand out much more.
