| Welcome to Celebrity
Tuxedos. We have a large selection to choose from and
an array of vest colors to coordinate with bridesmaid
dresses. Follow some of these helpful hints to simplify
your tuxedo rental process.
Tuxedo Rental Timeline

Helpful Suggestions
- If the bride is in a gown or appliquéd
bodice, the groom should be in a tuxedo
- The brides escort ( Father of the bride) should
be in a tuxedo. This is the “money photo”.
Make it picture perfect!
- Try to “coordinate” bridesmaid
dresses with tuxedo looks rather that match the colors
exactly.
- If bride is in ivory, the groom should be in ivory
and not white. When standing side by side, ivory
will tend to look very “dull”! As a rule
of thumb, try not to coordinate ivory with white.
(Pictures turn out better this way)
Tuxedos and Body
Short and slender gentlemen should consider single
breasted jackets with long lines that lengthen the
torso, accented with wide peak lapels. Another suggestion
is a double breasted tuxedo accenting the shoulders
and tapered waist.
Short and solid gentlemen with more robust body types
look best in a tuxedo jacket with slim collars. The
top button should fall at the small of the waist to
give the torso a longer look.
Tall and robust gentlemen with broad shoulders look
best in shawl lapel tuxedos. Jacket length is especially
important and should fall at the base of the thumb
to accentuate the look. Also, thicker necks and wide
faces should avoid narrow ties and wing collar shirts.
Try spread collar and banded shirts instead.
Tall and slender gentlemen can wear just about any
style. A suggested look would be a double breasted
tuxedo with broad shoulders and tapered at the waist.
Long flowing lines will compliment this body type.
