Black Tie Weddings (Miami, FL)

Should I make my wedding black tie?

Anyone can.  You're in great company.  Most fashion-conscious brides have already made the decision to go formal, and most celebrity weddings have chosen to go formal.  It's your wedding day, you deserve star treatment!  Your wedding is your day to shine.  Picture yourself as the centerpiece of your perfect black tie wedding.  Your proud relatives and friends feel elegant.  Everyone stands a little taller and prouder knowing they look great, and every picture relays their confidence.  Imagine how beautiful your wedding album will be.  And, when you look at your album on your wedding anniversaries for years to follow, that beautiful memory will play over and over again for you and your family.

Your wedding day can look as grand as all the memorable Hollywood weddings.  Three little words "Black Tie Invited" can make your day as memorable as the celebrity dream wedding.

Q: What does "Black Tie Invited" mean?
A: Every man in the wedding party plus the male guests are encouraged to wear a black tuxedo.

Q: What do the ladies wear to a "Black Tie Invited" wedding?
A: The ladies are encouraged to wear formal gowns or cocktail dresses.

Q: Its my second wedding and we're only inviting 50 people, is it appropriate to have a black tie wedding?
A: Weddings are always special occasions.  What better way to celebrate a special occasion than by inviting your guests to dress in formal attire?  Your guests want to share in your happiness and wearing tuxedos will only enhance the celebration.

Q: Is it really expensive to rent a tuxedo?
A: The rental price is based on the make, model, and designer name.  We have tuxedo rentals for all budgets.  You will look and feel like a million bucks.

Q: How can I tell my family I'd like a black tie wedding?
A: Explain to your closet relatives how special it would make you feel and how great everyone would look if everyone attending your wedding would go formal.  Show them pictures to our website or from magazines.  Then, print "Black Tie Invited" on your invitations, and watch the excitement build.

Q: One of my guests owns his own tuxedo.  Can he wear it to my formal wedding?
A: Absolutely!  He may choose to update with a full back vest and a tie set, a new shirt, studs and cufflinks.

Q: Some of my guests have never worn a tuxedo before in their lives!  How do I convince them?
A: Explain how great they will look...tell them to picture James Bond.  Then explain how important it is to you.  Chances are, they will come around.

Q: Won't my relatives feel like I'm asking too much of them?
A: Traditionally, families will go out of their way to make sure the future bride and groom are happy.  And, most people just wait for the opportunity to get dressed up in their finest apparel.  Women will usually purchase a new outfit for a wedding, or will purchase new accessories to update an existing outfit.  Men may need to update their suit, or even purchase one.  A tuxedo rental is less than one-third  the cost of most men's suits.  And, there are no dry cleaning costs the next day.

Q: Do my guests need to wear black ties with their tuxedos to make it a formal wedding?
A: Not at all.  Your guests can accessorize their tuxedos to create their own look.  There are hundreds of vest and tie combinations to choose from, a multitude of shirts and shoes, and multiple fabric textures and suit cuts to choose when selecting formalwear.  One of our sales associates can assist you with our selections.

Q: What about my out-of-guests guests?
A: Have them visit our website www.tommystuxedos.com to choose and accessorize their tux.  Then they can call in their measurements (1-888-264-4Tux), email them (tommystuxedos@aol.com), or fax them to us (305-512-9123).  Please note the wedding party and date on the form.  The tuxedo will be ready for final fitting two days before the wedding date at either one of our 2 locations.
