T uxedos & K ilts Men's & Women's Formal Wear Rental Today's formal wear rental has become more versatile. There are numerous styles, colors and designs to choose from. It is important to seek the help of an experienced formal wear business to guide you in your selection, but first you should do the following before booking your wedding. 1. Have a certain look and color in mind. The formal wear should compliment the color scheme of the wedding, formality, time of day, and location of the wedding. Browse through some magazines, look at friends’ wedding pictures, watch award shows on television. All these could give you ideas for your wedding. 2. If you choose a specific style that is not available locally your formal wear specialist should be able to suggest something equitable. For formal wear, it is important to look for quality tuxedos. Many smaller tuxedo manufacturers will release inferior-quality, copied styles of major manufacturers. 3. You should book your formal wear from three to six months in advance of your wedding date. If you are certain of the style you may want to book earlier to take advantage of any specials (several specials occur during the winter/spring months). 98 Rochester Brides & Grooms
