The list of things to do is long for every Bride before the big day, but don’t stress about tuxedos! The Brighton Tux Shop makes your tuxedo choice easy and enjoyable, but here are a few questions we can answer about the process of finding tuxes or suits for your bridal party members.

When should I come in?
Unlike the wedding gown and bridesmaid dresses, it does not take many months to get the tuxedos in, however this does not mean you need to wait until the last minute. We typically recommend the Bride and Groom come in about two months in advance, that way there is time to get everyone measured and it is just one less worry. We do accommodate any time schedule that happens, so don’t feel stressed if you are closer to the wedding date than what was suggested. We will make sure we have the wedding party looking sharp no matter the deadline.

Do I need an appointment?
We do not require appointments. We welcome any wedding party at any time.

How long will it take?
The process is much quicker, most of the time, then finding the perfect wedding gown. We try to make it as easy as possible, however it will take some time. Typically the process (without measuring) can take anywhere between half an hour to an hour once you are with your consultant. Measuring takes about 15 minutes. We try to make the process quick, for all the busy schedules, but also make sure that each customer is getting individualized attention.

Who should be with me?
The first time that you come in to our store and are ready to pick out what you want the bridal party to wear, it is best to have both the Bride and Groom. It may be tempting to bring the whole wedding party, but it may make the process unnecessarily longer, but don’t feel they are unwelcome! Anyone you choose to be there are more than welcome to come. We can measure them then, but note that each person measured will take about 15 additional minutes.

What should I have with me?
There are very few things you need when visiting us. You of course need the Bride and Groom, but along with that there are a couple more things to think about bringing along. First, make sure you have the names of anyone you want fitted by us including groomsmen, fathers, ring bearers, ushers, and any others you may have. Also a good thing to have is a swatch of the bridesmaid dresses. It will make matching the groomsmen’s vests and ties or bow ties much simpler. Other than that just bring any ideas about fit and style you have!

What kind of payment do I need?
No payment is required to get the tuxes ordered, however all rentals must be paid for in full before they leave the store. It is completely up to the customer if they want to do any payment before pick up day.

We try to make the process of finding the tux for your big day fun and simplistic. We know you will enjoy your experience and can’t wait to help you find exactly what you are looking for! Remember, don’t stress and Don’t Get Married until you visit The Brighton Tux Shop!
