Did you help your groom pick out the Tuxes/Suits?

~Jeff's Angel~, on March 29, 2011 at 11:07 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 16

Or did you let him pick the guys wear out himself with just having faith that he would make a good choice?

I am asking this because my mom thinks that I should go with my FH to look at tuxes before he goes off with the boys to get them. I have discussed with my FH what my vision is for the complete bridal party and have shown him pictures of my ideas as well.

I am torn because I want him to know that I do trust him but at the same time he is not exactly fashion forward either and I am afraid he will pick out the wrong colors for the ties and vests.

So I wanted to see how many of you went with your guys to pick out their suits/tuxes and how many of you simply left it in your guys hands to take care of...

    My FS wanted me to go with him, so off we went. I pretty much let him pick, as I knew he would do fine. There were a couple of things, in the range of colours that we had some discussion over, but it was his decision in the end. I just gave input regarding the shades, and if they would go with things, as I am more familiar with our colours than he is.

    It was quite fun.

    I definitely went with my FH. He dresses well on his own but instead of worrying what he picked out I went with him and we picked it out together. I don't believe it's a trust issue, it's just making sure you see the colors in person and make sure they match with the bridesmaids and what not :-)

    Yep. I went with him (more like i dragged him into Men's Wearhouse) He picked the jacket and pants - I helped him pick the vest because I knew the specific wedding colors Smiley smile

    We went and picked everything out together, then him and the guys all went together to get fitted without me.

    My FH went with his parents and sister and picked out the tuxes, and then we changed the vests later (which we knew would happen) so that I could match his to my dress.

    I went with him before hand.. he gave a list of names to the tuxedo place and they will go get measured/pay/pick up on their own. It was fun Smiley smile

    I want to be able to go with him so I can make sure the colors match up but he can pick out the pants, shirts and jackets - he is feeling a little down because he thought that him and the guys all go together to pick out the tuxes the way me and my girls went to go pick out the BM dresses. Which I think he can still have just with the fitting part rather then the picking out part.

    I am helping pick out the tuxes. Since our colors are yellow, gray, and pink. We are going with a gray tux and yellow vest/ties.

    We went together. for the most part, he picked the actual tux himself. But i had a color swatch from the BM dresses and so I mainly picked out the vest/tie

    We went together. He picked out the style of the tux and I made sure the colors coordinated correctly. I mean of course I gave him my opinion along the way in regards to which looked best for him.
