3 Months Ahead…

q       Order Tuxedos. Bring in your Groom and choose tuxedos. We offer 43 different Tuxedos and Tails –  Morning Coats, White and Ivory tuxes, and also Black Suits.

 

Tuxedo basics: There is a wonderful choice of vests and ties, depending upon your colors. I suggest Grooms wear white or ivory to match Bride’s Gown, Fathers in Black, and Groomsmen can match Bridesmaid Colors. All tuxes are priced with your choice of shirt, vest, tie, jewelry and shoes…..A $10 deposit per tux is due to hold the date. I prefer to measure your “men” if possible. Tuxes are paid in full when picked up the Thursday of the wedding weekend. They need to be returned by 6pm Sunday (unless a Sunday wedding and then they are due on Monday by 6.)
