The Groom

Okay, so we've only looked once for a suit...and we had our eyes on a fab Burberry suit, but we figure we could wait for a sale to come along. But we're still thinking about the shirt that he'll wear with the Burberry tie I got for him.

I'm planning to get Dee's shirt custom-made by 9tailors based in Boston, MA.

Sooo..this one:


or this one?


These images were put together by the awesome Sam of 9tailors

I love the look of both. I know the 2nd pattern looks a little busy, but I love the look of mixed patterns. I may have to get both to see how Dee looks in them.

Dee is ordering a suit. Black, 2-button. Hopefully it's a score for us...if not, we'll just return. But still on the lookout for some great suits.

Went shopping over the Thanksgiving weekend...Burberry is calling Dee's name. Wasn't exactly from the Burberry store (which was more European cut), but it was Burberry from the Macy's Men Store (I call it US cut). Dee has wide shoulders, big biceps, and a big chest, oh, and he's 5'8". But I looooooooooooouvre the Euro cut...fitting jacket, slim straight pants...*drool* On a mission!

Menswear

I really want FI to wear a 3-piece suit for the wedding. Like this guy:

I think a suit would be a great investment, and it's a staple in a man's closet. Besides, my man is ready for a nice suit.

As for the groomsmen, I love this idea:

I like that it's different, and that it definitely could save our groomsmen some money. Unfortunately, we can't afford to pay for our wedding party's attire. With my inital idea for our color scheme, I drew what I had in mind:

And this is what I found:

I had to beg FI to model for me. Anyways, I found this vest along with the black tie at Jos A. Bank on sale! He didn't have a better white shirt on hand (we were at my parents), and he put on the tie kind of sloppy. It was a little big on FI, but I still thought it looked great. And he wouldn't have been wearing the vest anyway.

But then I fell in love with aqua and orange, and now I don't feel like it will work well with our aqua and orange colored wedding. I'm not writing it off completely, but I may decide to let these go.

If I do let these go, I think I'll opt to have our groomsmen wear suits also, in gray, while my guy is in black.

Jos A. Bank has pretty good sales once in a while. Right now, there's 50% off all remaining clearance valid 09/10/2008-09/14/2008.

What's your man wearing for the wedding?
