I wouldn’t beat yourself up about not thinking too much about the men’s suits … isn’t that the groom’s job?

I do like the look of simple suits, but my fiance chose the classic morning suit (we’re English). His clothes - his decision!

Have you thought of Joseph A Banks. They have huge suit sales. My Fiance bought a 900 dollars suit for 280. And we just bought our other guy’s suits for 150 each on sale. They are pretty nice too and were regularly 300. My one GM told us thank you because he just spent 180 to rent a tux for a wedding this weekend. So you could easily do an awesome suit that everyone gets to keep.

i want that exact look, but i can’t seem to find anywhere that will rent suits. where do you plan on finding that style?

Both of those options look a-MAZING. I worked for a tux store that has since become Men’s Warehouse, and the prices are pretty steep (considering you get to wear it one night…), especially for the nicer, lighter weight ones - which you’d want for a July wedding. I think I remember something around $165 (I’ve bought a suit for myself from BR on sale for cheaper). That included rental for everything, but since you seem to only want the basics, it seems like you may be paying for more than you want. Then you have to worry about returning it the day after, picking it up soon before the wedding, hoping the tux that comes in 2 days before the wedding isn’t screwed up or someone didn’t mention wrong, etc. Due to my experience working there, we decided to have the groomsmen wear their own black suits, and those who don’t have one are willing to buy one because most guys will need a black suit at one point in their lives. But I would still suggest Men’s Warehouse for rentals based on the convenience of locations and the aforementioned problems seem to be the case with any tux rental from anywhere. Oh, and I’m pretty sure Men’s Warehouse does rent suits too. Just some food for thought - hope it helps!

My man found his suit at a great consignment shop in Chicago - off Broadway, $200 out the door and he looks fabulous. We found it before I found a dress.
We knew we couldn’t afford suits for all the men and they are hard working country boys who don’t own suits, and wouldn’t wear them in the near future. This posed a problem when I tried “just have them wear a suite or buy a suit.” So we went with our colors, purchase a pair of brown slacks and a collared ivory shirt. Mr. Red Head will be in a suit and they will be casual and sleek. I am excited to how they fit in with the rest of the party as the girls are in different dress styles but the same chocolate brown tea length.
