Wedding season is just around the corner, and one of the biggest days for a man is the day he marries the love of his life. Let's not kid ourselves, even here style matters. You want you, your groomsmen, your wife-to-be, and the ceremony venue to look good on your wedding day. Hopefully, you have the funding for the considerable expenses of this day squared away and can now focus on crafting the right tone and aesthetic. Here are a few of the top considerations:
Engagement ring — Of course, your choice of engagement rings is one of the most important decisions you will make prior to the wedding and will set the tone for the entire day and, yes, perhaps the rest of your lives. First think about the stone you want: round, pear, marquis, round solitaire. Then consider the setting: simple solitaire, filigree, side stones, gold, rose gold, white gold, platinum, or titanium. Of course, you want to make sure you also select a quality jeweler. Plan your budget, and then spare no expense!
Tuxedos — Going classy with the tuxedos for your groomsmen is very high on the list of wedding considerations. Your two major options are black tie and white tie. Black tie is the most common and customizable formal wear solution, usually involving black pants with a satin stripe, a cummberbund or waistcoat, a white shirt and patent leather dress shoes. A white tie style will often include black cut-away tailcoats, black trousers with white suspenders, a white wing-collar shirt and a white boutonniere. There are many color and style variations that you can explore.
Ceremony aesthetic — Make sure your ceremony matches the tone you want to impart to your special guests. This includes everything from the fabrics and textures of the table cloths to culinary choices, music, furniture, and of course decorations. Long story short: hire a wedding planner!
Planning for a wedding is a big job that requires plenty of aesthetic choices. If you're approaching the big question you want to first consider the stone, then move into thinking about tuxedos and the look and feel of the ceremony.
