Hello everyone. Looking for some help getting dressed for my big day. I have a pretty good feel for what I want to wear, but would like some suggestions with my groomsmen's outfits. I am wearing a shawl lapel, cumberbund, and batwing bowtie, black and white. My questions are:
Is it ok to dress my groomsmen in tuxedos different from my own? Do they all have to match each other?
Can they wear a pocketsquare AND a flower on the lapel, or is that too busy?
I want to buy my tux instead of rent. I have a few questions about that. 1, the woman at the tuxedo shop told me that she would take my measurements and basically ask which of the manufacturers were least busy and able to do it. I asked about a designer label, and she essentially told me that Perry Ellis, Abboud, etc, just slap their labels on tuxes from the few manufacturers, there's no difference between that and an unlabeled one. Is that true? If so, what a sham! She said the main difference between a cheaper and pricier tux was the thread count.
If I get my own tux, I don't know how often I will wear it. Is it appropriate to wear a tuxedo to a wedding if you aren't in the bridal party? Or is that showing up the most important people at the event?
Thanks for any help.
