S/O Weddings: What did your men wear?

[RoxMonster]

This brought to you by our 50 minute trip to Men's Wearhouse tonight. H is in a wedding tomorrow and it was so busy, it took forever for him to try on his tux and get the pants altered.
There was an engaged couple there and the girl had initially gone in by herself sans groom and picked out all of the men's attire by herself without his input. Then they came back together today because she changed her mind. Did any of you do this? I let H go and pick out all his stuff since I wasn't the one wearing it.

H just picked out black tuxedos for our wedding--black vest, black jacket, pants, etc. Our accent color was a deep pink, so the guys' ties were striped in varying shades of pink, as well as their pocket squares.

We're not having a wedding party, but SO will be wearing a slim-cut dark grey suit with a skinny tie. Nom.

[iamgrace]

Suits that I don't recall the details of.

i went to a local tux shop and picked out what i liked. (because renting tuxes through that particular shop meant 10% off my dress.) h and i went back later, together, for him to confirm that he liked the choices. i think we changed the shoes.

black tuxes, black vests (h's was white), and black shoes. yellow flowers for everyone!

Black tux, white shirt, white vest, white tie. The groomsmen wore black tuxes, white shirts, black vests, black ties. They looked gooooood.

FI has a tux for his performances (he does opera) so if it still fits he might just wear that. I think FI wants to just have his groomsmen in black tuxes with orange ties (one of the wedding colors). Also, my FI's best man is going to wear his air force dress uniform since it's blue (another wedding color) and it would be pretty hard for him to get leave for tux shopping/renting.

DH and the best man both wore charcoal grey suits they already had.

[midnightrae]

I'm not sure what he is going to wear. I don't even think he knows yet. He does want to get this tux jacket custom made though..

[agnes]

Dickies pants, Guayaberas (Mexican wedding shirts), and Vans.

We had a very casual wedding. It was great.

DH just got a tux from there for a friend's wedding. Such a long wait.    And we were in line behind like 15 would-be prom kings who had never tried on a tux before and were being super slow at it. They had 2 dressing rooms in a store that barely held the rack of tux orders and a cash register. It was in a mall and they had most of the people waiting in the food court.

DH wore jeans, a oxford shirt and a tie. This started as a joke, but DH was so happy I actually let him do it, his mother however, is still horrified. I picked out trouser style jeans for him to wear. The groomsmen were instructed to wear a shit and tie of their choice and slacks.

If you hadn't figured it out, our wedding was pretty low-key.

My husband and his buddies picked out their attire without my input at all. I didn't care what they wore and trusted that he would choose something nice. They decided to buy tan suits and we bought them navy ties. They looked great!

[rupertpenny]

He wore a morning coat. He rented the coat and pants but wore his own vest, shirt, tie, and shoes.

He picked it all out himself. I think he spent a lot more time as a kid dreaming about what he wanted to wear to his wedding than I ever did.

Tux.

H and I went together. He tried things on and I gave my opinion on what I liked the best.

I was disappointed, though, because the place we picked ended up not doing a good job. His suit didn't fit very well and they tried to give us the wrong vests entirely. They also made it pretty clear that the proms happening that weekend were far more important to them than taking care of our order correctly.

I didn't go to the tux shop.

But I brought up the idea of black tuxes with black vests, and a green and black striped tie. I showed MH a tie on Etsy and he agreed, so I bought them for the GMs (and later for the dads when they said they wanted to match). MH got a green and white striped tie, but he bought a few before he made a final choice.

A few people said to me, "You didn't go along to approve his tux choice??? Gasp!" Um, no, I think he can handle dressing himself. He didn't ask for input so I didn't go.

[Deleted]

Oh, you wanted details.

Whatever.

[meganew]

All the dudes bought skinny black suits from JC Penney on sale with skinny black ties and black vans sneakers. They looked gooood.

One of the groomsmen is a wedding photographer and wound up wearing the suit a lot for shoots.

Dh picked it. They wore tails. I loved it!

Like six years later one of the groomsmen's wives (my very good friend) was all "omg how ugly were those tuxes! It was awful!"



I think she assumed that dh went rogue and I didn't like them.

[Deleted]

Had to dig up a pic.

I thought they went with the super traditional sanctuary.

[macmars45]

My sister and I went with H. My sister was a BM and came along to help as both H and I are/were clueless about tux styles etc.

H wore a black tux with a white vest, white tie and white shirt. GM wore black tuxes, red vests, red ties and white shirts. H and all GM had a pink carnation and a red rose bountineers.

They wore their own suits. We provided the ties. walla!

[jacquie]

They all wore black suits. The groomsmen had sage green vests and ties. Abe (husband) had an ivory vest and tie.

yup.

h wore grey, the two guys (one on my side, one on his) each wore black. I think. I don't remember. 

[midnightmare81]

H wore his Class A's (Army), H's brother wore whatever the equivalent is for the Coast Guard, BM and the other groomsmen wore suits.

I think slim cut suits look so sharp. H is pretty slim, and whenever he's in a wedding, the tuxes seem so boxy on him.

H and I picked out the tuxes together. The groomsmen wore black tuxes, vests, and ties. H wore an ivory vest and a champagne and ivory tie I bought for him to coordinate with the sash on my dress. It was very light so it looked nice with the vest. I think we also did ivory shirts because of it. My dress was ivory too.
