Question from Ed:
Hi – I’m wondering what to wear for my December wedding in Mexico. It’s not a beach resort wedding but rather an outdoor wedding in the interior part of Mexico. It will be formal but I’m not partial to tuxedoes. I’m wondering what I can do to stand out from our male guests that will be wearing suits?
Answer from Bridal Expert Angela:
Hi Ed. Well there are tuxedos, and then there are tuxedos! Have you gone into a formal wear store to see what your options are? There are some great options without going for the striped trouser, and tuxedo tails that is part of a formal tuxedo.
At the least, you need a nice suit—and because it is formal, you need a black suit and a quality white shirt. Black tie. Black shoes and socks. You can forgo the cumberbund if you choose, but it could be a way to incorporate the wedding colours into your attire. Your bride can advise you, as can the staff at any formal wear store you visit.
In addition, your corsage/boutonniere will identify you from the other guests. Your corsage will be a little more elaborate than the boutonnieres of your groomsmen, so you will be easily identified.

I hope that answers your questions.
