Free For Wedding CouplesEvery month we receive hundreds of real wedding photos from all over the United States. And let me tell you, they aren’t all picture perfect. In fact, too often we see photos completely ruined by one factor or another. Nine out of 10 times, it’s those darn boys. The last one is usually a grandma photo bomb.
I am going to let you in on a little secret: the bride just wants the pictures to be perfect.
As wedding day nears, a bride and groom will undoubtedly be on edge and thinking about thousands of details. So, a good looking wedding party ready for the ceremony and photos can ease a lot of stress. Do groomsmen always get it right? No. They don’t. And the bride doesn’t have time for every single groomsmen to ask her “how do you wear a suit?” But fortunately with a little education and guidance any guy can master their look and avoid common mistakes. We asked our stylists for their insider knowledge and pet peeves to ensure that the groom and groomsmen make the photos perfect.
Dude, common courtesy. Already checked it? Check it again.
You can totally see it in the photos. And not only that, it will leave an impression on your pants, so just avoid it all together. At least until after all real photos have been taken.
Otherwise, you’ll just look silly. Don’t ask us why there’s a second or third button when they’re never used. That’s just how it is.
More silliness. Plus, it’s proper. You want to be a good gentleman, right?
Ever wonder where this habit came from? Test it out to see. Actually, don’t. It can ruin your jacket.
Any longer and you’ll be swimming in it—and the hand-me-down look is not very attractive. And any shorter and it’ll look like you grew a few inches since your fitting.
And that’s the way it is.
That’s the way the cookie crumbles.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
And for the love of all things holy, make sure it’s secure.
This can stretch and warp your suit. You don’t need them anyway. You’re a man, your pants come with back pockets. (Except for in photos, remember.)
You’d think that would be obvious, but no.
For the nice photos at least. It creates bulges in the suit and we’re not going for the frat look, anyway.
But, by all means, wear one. They add a little extra polish to your look.
Another should-be-obvious one.
Otherwise you end up showing off your pale, dad-at-a-waterpark calves. Not a good look. Kind of icky, if you ask us.
If you’re already wearing a pocket square and a tie bar, you’ll want to reconsider that clever lapel pin. Yes, even the one that says, “Assistant to the Regional Manager.” Yes, we know it’s funny. No, you still shouldn’t wear it. Even if you’re the best man.
Too much, bro.
Being asked to serve as a groomsman is a major honor. Sure, you’ve got some duties to attend to, but having fun is still part of the plan. Supporting one of your best guys (and looking good for their forever photo albums) can be easy. Keep these tips in mind and you’re sure to impress.
The boys have enough to worry about the day of the wedding and their brains can only handle so much responsibility at one time. But why not ease some of that burden and get what you want and what they want?
