Instead of matching rental tuxes, have groomsmen buy quality navy or charcoal suits from affordable retailers. They'll save money versus renting, own something versatile, and photographs with slight variations in fit and shade look modern and natural.

Bridal boutiques hold sample sales to clear floor models, typically offering 30-70% off retail prices. Trunk shows bring in new collections and often include designer meet-and-greets plus discounts on orders placed during the event. Sign up for email lists from boutiques you like. Be prepared to buy off-the-rack at sample sales (alterations can perfect the fit later). Best times: January, July, and November.
Unless the groom and groomsmen will wear the suits again, renting is more practical and costs 60-70% less than buying. Modern rental services offer designer suits with home try-on options. Everyone gets a perfectly fitted, current style without the storage hassle. If buying, choose versatile navy or charcoal suits that can be worn for other occasions, making the investment worthwhile.
Wedding dresses take 4-6 months to arrive, plus you need 2-3 months for alterations. Order 8-10 months out to avoid rush fees. Schedule final fitting 2-3 weeks before the wedding, and pick up dress 1 week before to allow for emergency adjustments.
