The Groom's Tuxedo Should Match the Bride's Wedding Dress:
If you want perfect wedding pictures, you should keep your attire as a couple and as a wedding party in harmony. For example if you as a bride wear an ivory gown then you should also dress the groom in ivory. You can dress the groom in an all ivory suit including an ivory shirt and ivory tie. However, you can also dress the groom in a black suit with an ivory shirt. The groom should not however, wear a black tux with a white shirt. The pictures may not be totally ruined since white and ivory often look similar in wedding pictures, but the coordination of the wedding will be thrown off a bit.
Most reputable businesses who rent tuxedos will understand this concept and will do their best to make sure that the groom's attire matches perfectly with the bride's wedding dress. If the bride wears a wedding dress that is white with blue detailing then the groom can wear a white tux with a blue vest and tie to match the bride's wedding dress. This will look especially nice during an outdoor summer wedding or a beach wedding. It is also common to keep dark attire like black tuxedos for winter weddings while keeping lighter colors like white and ivory tuxes for the summer or beach weddings. Black tuxes in the dead of summer or on the beach will keep the groom very hot and uncomfortable. He will be miserable and your summer or beach wedding pictures will not be as nice as they could be otherwise.
Some common colors that many brides wear now are white and pink or ivory and pink. The bridesmaids are then dressed in pink. This is a beautiful combination, but sometimes proves troublesome because some grooms do not want to wear pink. However grooms who wear a white or ivory tuxedo with a pink vest and tie look very nice. This is a very beautiful combination for a spring or summer wedding.
The thing to know is that there are many beautiful combinations and that you can pull off any color scheme that you want as long as you speak to the right professional and know where to get your clothing. It is best to shop for wedding clothing during the week days when they are not many people in the stores. You will receive individual attention and will likely be happier with your wedding attire purchase or rental.
