When to book: Grooms should begin exploring
options about six months in advance or even as
soon as they set the date for their wedding. The
time frame is really dependent on whether or not
they need to have something special ordered or
custom tailored.

Make a case for buying a suit over just
renting one for the day. Our wedding
packages start at the same price as a tux rental,
and buying a classy suit or tux will have
more value because it will last for many more
occasions. Also, you won’t have to worry about
waking up early the day after your wedding to
return your rental and avoid late fees.

What advice do you have for grooms that
have no idea what they want or where to
begin? Contact the store you are considering to
schedule an interview. Here at Franklin Rogers,
our specialist will sit down with the groom and
go over all options, including budget, color and
wedding destination. It’s best to bring your fiancé
for the initial interview, as well as swatches of
dresses so that accessories can be chosen.

Goodbye black suits and tuxedos, hello navy
and burgundy slim fits. It’s all about the cut: Slim,
slimmer, slimmest! It gives the guys a more
updated, contemporary look. Another trend we’ve
been seeing is grooms wearing either a darker
or lighter shade than their groomsmen. For
example, a groom will wear a charcoal gray and
all of his groomsmen will wear a Heather gray.
Or a groom might stand out by wearing a bow
tie while his party sports longer ties. Bow ties are
hot right now, and we’re seeing more and more
weddings with them. They can be paired up with
a cummerbund or even a pair of suspenders.
