Hello all, I need some advice on my wedding get-up.
I'm having a MTM black tuxedo made (shawl collar, 1 button, single breasted) and am deciding between a cummerbund/wasitcoat. The wife-to-be wants a white bowtie, and I actually like the idea as well. So this leaves me with either a white cummerbund or white waistcoat (assuming that the color must match the bowtie?).
I'm not crazy about the cummerbund look, especially in light of the fact that I'm not a small guy (47R, 6ft, 220lb) and those tend to accent the midsection (at least the vest will have some material in the shoulder/chest area as well). I assume that a low U-cut vest would work best with a shawl collar but I am having trouble finding examples, especially in the white tux/black vest combination (help here would be terrific too!).
How do you guys feel about a white low U-cut vest with a white bowtie under a black tuxedo?
Thanks a lot in advance!
