Don't forget the Socks

When most brides start to think about the groom's and groomsmen attire, many leave it up to the groom and expect them to pick a standard suit and maybe a tie to match the color of the day. Some brides give their groom a little loving persuasion, by telling them to stick with black, gray or navy. I on the other hand, think it's important to spend a little more time on what your man will wear for the big day. While you, the bride, will be the center of attention, your new husband will be right next to you the majority of your wedding day and you want him to look great and make a statement too.  The photos that most couples cherish the most, and even get canvas prints to hang on their walls, are the ones of just the two of them, and if he's just wearing a standard black rental suit with black shoes, and black socks, his personality isn't being highlighted to it's fullest.  I recommend you show your groom some photos of guys being cool and showing their personalities on their wedding days and see if you can inspire him to be creative with his attire, all the way down to his socks.
