A Guide To The TuxedoKristen, one of the leading ladies and champagne connoisseur from wedding mega blog Aisledash is joining Polka Dot Groom today with some great advice on choosing the right tuxedo for the wedding. Photo by Infinity Studios Compared to shopping for a bridal gown, choosing the guys’ tuxedos might seem like a piece of cake. However, while there aren’t quite as many options regarding formalwear for the men, it’s not all black and white. In fact, sometimes it’s chocolate, khaki, or ivory, and then there are the accessories … it’s enough to get confusing, if you let it. Not every weddin...

Dresses and TuxedosI never wanted a dress with intricate detailing or a ball gown skirt…I have always been drawn to simple and clean dresses. Unlike most brides who usually take their moms and bridesmaids to pick out a dress, I went to Priscilla of Boston in Dallas on my own during my lunch break. I have always been a fan of Melissa Sweet’s “Lia” gown so I knew that was going to be the dress I would wear on my wedding day. It was the first dress I tried on and I knew that was it! The only problem was that the dress was ay outside our budget. After talking with the amazing consultants at PoB about my love...

The Art of the TuxedoWhile having a very in-depth conversation with my new favorite groom about custom tuxedos, it sparked that little light in my mind to write about tuxedo and here we are. While on one of my favorite sites (GQ) looking for formal wear, I came across this amazing articles about choosing and buying a tux. And you know, if I think you need to know about it, I must write about it. Somewhere along the line, a tuxedo went from being the most majestic piece in a man’s wardrobe to something that he had to wear. As in, “Yeah, dude, I gotta wear a tux to this wedding next weekend.” You know what? Qu...

Butch Tuxedo?Here are the facts: My partner is butch. She will be wearing a rented tux to our wedding due to budgetary constraints. She has never worn a tux before. She hates being hot (wearing lots of layers of clothes). This is going to be more difficult than I though. Thank goodness for the internet because I was able to read and forward along several blog posts to her about the suit/tux shopping process. Early on I tasked her best man with the suit shopping because we were going to try and keep what we’re wearing a secret from one another until the big day, but….they went to a suit shop and ther...

Tuxedo-Pocket ProgramsI wanted to share my wedding invitations as an example of the stationary I handcrafted for our wedding. Unfortunately, I don’t have any invitations left, or even a picture. I spend dozens (and dozens!) of hours silkscreening my invitations, and I don’t even have one picture of all that work. This is why it is crucial to drastically overestimate the number of invitations you may need, if your family is as wishy-washy and uncommitted as that of my husband. Our limiting factor for our wedding was the space - our ceremony room held 180 individuals, maximum. Due to that constraint, we had ...
