Story Template Articles Written by Tanya J. Tyler Brides aren't the only ones who wish to look spectacular on their wedding day. Grooms, too, want to look their best when they head to the altar to take their vows. Most grooms and their groomsmen choose to wear tuxedos at the wedding ceremony.
Tuxedos give an air of elegance to the whole affair, much more so than a regular suit and tie.
The tuxedo you choose depends largely on the time of day of your wedding. A formal daytime wedding traditionally requires a tuxedo or a tail coat and a white shirt with a black bow tie. A formal evening wedding traditionally calls for a black or navy blue tuxedo with a white pleated formal shirt, a black bow tie, and a cummerbund or vest. Top hat, spats and gray gloves are optional. Formal-wear experts can help you pick the proper tuxedo.
