The Groom's Room

Is a Tuxedo Too Formal for My Wedding?

Possibly — but it depends entirely on the wedding you’re planning.

 

Consider where you’re getting married, how formal the venue is, what your guests are likely to wear, the atmosphere you’re creating and how you want to feel when you put your wedding outfit on.

 

A relaxed pub wedding may make a tuxedo feel more formal than necessary, while a manor house followed by dinner and dancing may make it feel completely natural.

 

Don’t choose a tuxedo because you think a groom is supposed to look formal. Choose it because when you put one on, you feel fantastic.
