be involved in the decision on what he is going to wear — he needs to feel his best to look his best .
Let ’ s talk same-sex wedding styling . For two men seeking a fresh look outside of the traditional tux , how should they approach choosing their ensembles ? Is there anything that really works or doesn ’ t work ?
I recommend not dressing as twins — it always looks like a costume or caricature . Find something that connects the two looks - the same color flower in a lapel is a nice touch .
Again , consider the environment — a suit is not always necessary . Great , individual style always radiates best .

How far in advance of the wedding would you suggest grooms get their outfits together ?
I suggest 8-9 months in advance for planning but it ’ s important to keep in mind that the outfit should be purchased during the season in which they are getting married . It is difficult to find the best linen options in November if planning for a tropical destination wedding at that time of year .
What have been your favorite wedding looks in your years of being in the business ? Are there any couples who pulled off wedding style in the best way ?
One of my closet friends got married in a tiny hillside church in Sicily — he went the classic tuxedo route , but it worked perfectly against the old-world backdrop .
