Hello all, I'm new to this forum but after a quick look around I'm sure I can have an answer to my question in no time.
I am getting married in a few months and will be purchasing my first tuxedo for the occassion. The style I am looking for will be mostly classic (single button, peak lapel dinner jacket) with some modern additions (flat front trousers, black vest, laydown collar, non-pleated shirt, long tie). The groomsmen will all be wearing black ties but as the groom, is it appropriate for me to wear a white tie and vest? From my research it is my understanding that a white tie with a dinner jacket is a no-no and should only be worn with tails but is this more for a function such as a black-tie dinner event and not so much the groom in a wedding? The bride-to-be and her wedding mazagines seem to be set on the fact that I should wear a white tie and vest. Considering the magazines would also have me dressed in a notched lapel jacket with a flourescent blue tie and vest what would be the proper choice in this situation?
Thanks in advance!
