So you're getting married...

One if the biggest decisions you'll make in this life, aside from who you'll marry, is what you'll wear when you're marrying them. I speak to many brides and grooms at the shop and most ask for my opinion. Aside from telling them what my wife and I wore for our wedding (BTW, we looked awesome) and aside from telling them what is popular among the masses, I usually advise the betrothed to do some research of their own. There's tons of info out there, in all forms: magazines, websites, blogs, books, mother-in-laws, etc.  Well, now there's an app for it too. Check out this iphone app I stumbled across last night, it's called Weddinggawker.  The point is, there are so many looks and ideas out there and it's your wedding so you should dress how you want.  Get some good ideas, put your own spin on it.  Tell your tailor exactly what you want.  And guys, if you don't decide what you want to wear then she'll decide for you, and we all know how that can end up.  Now that that's settled, you can get on to the third most important thing, writing your vows!

The Midnight Blue Tux

Last night, Hollywood once again proved that the Midnight Blue Tuxedo is one option that should not be over looked by any well dressed man.


While black is the conventional "go to" for most black tie affairs, this very classy, sophisticated tux is a subtle way to set yourself apart from the herd. Such a tux, however, is not just for any man. The man who chooses this option is one who is a bit more of a risk taker, is not afraid to be looked at by beautiful foreign women, and to some degree lives his life in the spirit of James Bond.

You can certainly drop a few Hollywood dollars to purchase this coveted item. Or, you can visit with me at Valentino Tailors to review your options to either rent this featured tux from our vendor Sarno & Sons, or to be fitted for your very own custom tuxedo through our partners at H. Freeman. Either of my options will still leave you with some extra cash to attend a few of your own red carpet events this year!
