Mackinac Island Weddings Mackinac Weddings Tuxedos Providing formal wear for the men in your wedding party is easy, convenient and affordable thanks to M ACKINAC I SLAND T UXEDO . They can take care of all the details making it an effortless process. Simply have measurements taken for all the men at a local formal wear shop in your hometown, and send them to the Island tux store. Then, simply pick them up when you arrive on the Island. It's that easy! If you prefer, have your tuxedos de- livered right to your hotel the night be- fore the big day. This eliminates the hassle of renting and bringing tuxes from home. The extra rental time, cost and travel logistics make renting tuxes at home diffi- cult with a high chance of complications. Not only getting the tuxes to the Island in good condition is challenging, you're also responsible for taking them back home by ferry boat and your car. For the groom, groomsmen, ring bear- ers and even fathers and grandfathers to look their best at the wedding, formal wear should not be overlooked. Have the guy's measurements taken at a local formal wear shop in your hometown, then send them to the Island tux store If you're tall and thin, congratulations. You can wear just about any style tuxedo. If you're husky or muscular, avoid double breasted jackets and pleated shirts, which add volume. If you are short and slim, go with a 2 or 3 button jacket and pleated pants. You might also consider some extra shoulder padding to look broader. If you've enlisted a little man to march toward the altar as your ring bearer, make sure you dress him up too, of course. Everyone finds little boys in grown-up formal wear endearing. Whatever outfit you choose, make sure the boys are com- fortable, while still remaining faithful to the overall tone of your wedding. A pair of colorful socks is a cute way to pull in some personality without making a spec- tacle. "Of course black is the classic tux- edo color of choice, but we're seeing a lot of gray, charcoal, tan and brown colored tuxedo requests," says Jack Armstrong at Mackinac Island Tuxedo. Vests are cer- tainly in fashion these days, but cummer- bunds are definitely out. Long ties are in but bow ties have made a big comeback. Remember, always leave the bottom coat button undone.
