Your dress for the day is going to be dictated by the type of wedding you are planning. With a themed wedding, the choice is endless, from cowboys to space girls and any where in between. The traditional will run from the very formal looking top hat and tails to a lounge suit.
Apart from the wedding suit, you have a number of ways to customise your looks, ties, cravats, waistcoats and cummerbunds can all be used to add colour and flair to your outfit as well as flowers on the lapel.

A hat may be added but often this can be more of a nuisance.
There is one more choice, no matter what you are wearing, wedding suit or tuxedo do you buy or rent?
For some, the idea that somebody has already worn a suit that they are going to wear for their big day will be abhorrent whilst others will feel that they don't need the extra expense of buying something they will never use again.
This really is the heart of the matter. If you think that you will be able to get further use out of it, them buying makes sense otherwise renting will be cheaper.

You will need to go to a dress hire shop for a fitting, the better ones will be able to make minor alterations. If you go for a fitting well in advance of your big day, make sure you go back a week or so before the ceremony in case any weight has been gained or lost.
Girls may find a few raised eyebrows when visiting the gentlemen's department and of course the suits will have been tailored for the men's shape so some compromise may have to be made. Otherwise you can find some tailors who will make you a suit to your own measurements.

When you pick up your wedding suit or tuxedo, check it carefully for stains or tears and if you do not have wedding insurance, it may be worth taking out insurance at the shop to cover any damage. You will also need to find out when you have to return it because if you jet off on your honeymoon you need to get a trusted friend to return it.
Finally, if there is going to be a number of you all hiring outfits, you may be able to negotiate a discount with the store.
