The wedding proposal has taken place and a date has been set.The preparations begin and the bride starts to steal all the attention. Of course, the bride will be the center of attention at the wedding. Everybody awaits her entrance at the church, to admire (or criticize) her dress, veil and flowers. However, there cannot be a bride without a groom. So let's take time to focus solely on him. Because a man in love has his own dreams for his special day and he wants everything to be perfect, too.
Let's take a look at how the groom can participate in the wedding plans. The most important thing for him to do is to avoid assuming a passive attitude when preparation time comes around. Besides having the satisfaction of partaking in the details of his own wedding, his bride will also appreciate the effort. The groom should discuss his own wishes with the bride. He should go with her on shopping trips and help decide on what flowers, photographer and reception hall to select.
It is his responsibility to choose a best man, although he should discuss how many ushers and bridesmaids to include in the bridal party. The bride and groom together should select the style and color of the suits and dresses for the bridal party. The groom should choose an appropriate tuxedo/ suit to wear at the ceremony. And he should also talk about it with his bride so that it won't clash with her gown.
The following are a few extra tips for the groom:
First of all, consider the time of day that the wedding will take place and the formality of the ceremony and reception. If it is an evening formal ceremony, the groom's tuxedo and the ushers' tuxedos should be identical. The only difference is the boutonnieres or flower worn on the lapel. In formal day weddings and semi-formal ones, the ushers can wear suits of a different color.
In regards to color, black remains a favorite. Because besides being elegant, it is appropriate at any time of the day, any time of the year and in all styles of weddings. The shirt should be white on white, with a pleated front for formal and semi-formal weddings and white with a classic cut for informal weddings. Pastels and T-shirts are definitely out!
The groom is responsible for delegating the responsibility for fittings at the tailor shop to his best man, who should then inform each usher on when to go for a fitting and when to pick up the tux/suit. Likewise, the best man is in charge of making sure that the ushers return the rentals to the tailor after the ceremony, so the groom can enjoy his honeymoon.
There is definitely no other way for a groom to begin his happily married life, than by taking part in the event that marks the beginning of it all
