Groom's
Attire
A handsome and well-dressed groom is as essential at
a wedding as is a beautiful bride! The groom's attire
should be based on the style of the wedding, the hour
of the wedding, the size of the wedding party and the
season.
First
choices include the cutaway coat for formal morning
weddings, the stroller coat for less formal daytime
weddings and the black tuxedo for evening weddings.

Groomsmen's
Attire
Choices for the groom should also apply to the groomsmen,
ushers and fathers of the bridal couple. A specialist
should measure every man. Out-of-town formalwear shops
will take the measurements for the men in the wedding
party who live elsewhere.
Formalwear
shops prefer that the men try on their tuxedos when
they pick them up, and also check for the necessities:
cufflinks,
studs,
cummerbunds,
bow
ties, ascots,
and shoes.

Bridesmaids'
Attire
Etiquette decrees that you select an elegant floor-length
gown for your attendants if you are having a formal wedding.
At other times, your bridesmaids can wear a variety of
lengths, though the dresses should not be longer than
the bride's dress. Beyond length recommendations, you
are free to choose whatever type of dress appeals to your
fashion flair. Color is usually the beginning point because
your bridesmaids' dresses determine the color scheme.
Pastel or floral are spring and summertime favorites,
while jewel tones are favorite wintertime choices. |

Flower
Girl's Attire
Flower girl fashion has changed very little through the
years. Keep in mind the style of your ceremony, and match
the flower girl dress to that style. Her dress can be
short or long, and of different silhouettes, depending
on her age. It can be either white, like the bride's,
or the same color as the bridesmaids' dresses. |

Ring
Bearer's Attire
The ring bearer can look like a miniature groomsman. Depending
on his age, tuxedos are available for rent. Or he can
don a velvet, satin or linen suit. For those little guys
too small for suits, look for a 4-piece set including
pants, a dress shirt, a vest and a matching bow tie. |
