We are having an outdoor, evening wedding (6:00), with a cocktail hour and sit-down dinner inside after the ceremony.
My fiance is trying to decide between wearing a tux or buying a nice black suit. He is only having a best man (no groomsmen), so we wouldn't have to worry about matching a lot of people.
I think since it's in the evening our wedding would be considered semi-formal...Is a black suit even appropriate to consider? Or is a tux the way to go?
(I don't know if it matters, but my maid of honor will likely wear a tea-length black dress.)
It depends upon the formality of your venue and your dress. If the venue, dinner, and your dress is formal, then he should be in a tux. But, if you would consider your dress to be a dressy, long cocktail dress, then the suit would be fine.
black suit or tux?
