ok, we''re having the great suit vs. tux debate in our household & need some outsider opinions. here''s a quick kinda pro-con list for both (for us).
SUIT:
pro: FI recently purchased a very nice suit (the nicest one he''s ever had) and would like to wear it for the wedding, i like the way suits look as wedding attire, this one is tailored to FI so the fit would be perfect
con: not sure about the other groomsmens suits; if they own one, what it looks like, if they would wear one after the wedding (the profession of our groomsmen ranges from cook to writer, so not very "professional" in their everyday dress). probably wouldn''t match & bridesmaids are wearing matching dresses. what shirt/tie combo to put them in to make them cohesive
TUX:
pro: what i''ve always imagined groom etc wearing; all would match (except groom in white tie/gm in black tie); can all rent same tux (they are spread throughout the country)
con: FI rented tux wouldn''t fit as nice as his tailored suit; more money--he already owns the suit
i''ll attach a pic of FI''s suit & the tux style we''re going for below. and just fyi the bridesmaids are wearing black cocktail length taffeta dresses.
