Plus Size Groom

Plus Size Groom

[fbshare] When you think of the wedding party, our thoughts immediately go to the bride and the bridesmaids and not the groom.  After all, this is HER big day.  Standing next to the bride will be this dashing plus size groom who also will be in need of a stunning suit or tux for the big day.

A plus size groom probably doesn’t care so much about how he looks, but he should.  Neighbors and friends that you have not seen in years will come to the wedding. This is as much your day as it is that of your lovely bride; therefore every plus size groom should make it a priority to look his best. As a groom who is carrying a few extra pounds the one rule to live by is that a tight fitting waist should never be worn.  Comfort should be an issue no matter who is the member of the plus size wedding party because the plus size groom will be wearing this for hours and he’ll want to look good also.

Let’s talk plus size cummerbunds.  If the groom has a thin wife-to-be, then she may want the cummerbund to match some certain specific wedding colors.  If the groom has a plus size bride, then she may be a little more in tune to this fashion accessory.  The cummerbund should not be in a bright color.  Hopefully this color will match the shirt or trousers and won’t be a stand-out item.  This will just draw attention to the waist, which is what you’ll be trying to camouflage.

If the bride must have you wearing some of the wedding theme color on the suit, then maybe the plus size couple could compromise by having the bow tie and boutonniere be the statement instead of the cummerbund.  However, if the plus size groom has the bulk of his weight in the neck rather than the waistline, then perhaps you should switch and have the tie a more neutral black or champagne while having the cummerbund stand out.  This isn’t likely to be the case in a plus size groom.

Also as a way to hide the hips and waist of the groom, some attention should be given to the pockets on the suit.  When the plus size groom is wearing the coat, make sure that the pocket flaps lay flat against the body as much as possible.  It’s when the flaps stick out that the eye will focus toward that area of the body once again.

Remember that the object is to look good as well as be comfortable.  Picking clothes that flatter a plus size wedding party can be difficult.  Picking clothes that a larger than life groom will like and agree to wear, as well as look good in isn’t very easy either.  Men are a bit easier to please than women, so this task should be the easiest part of finding clothing for your plus size wedding.

When searching for the grooms wedding attire, you will always want to make sure that you have all of the correct measurements that will be needed. When you are renting or buying a wedding tuxedo is not the time to guess on how big someones chest is. Once you have the measurements, it will be quite easy to find the suit of the plus size groom.
