Are you wondering how to choose the right tuxedos and formal wear for your Portland, Oregon wedding? Whether it's an extravagant, no-holds-barred wedding at the Pittock Mansion or an intimate ceremony in the Lan Su Chinese Garden, you want the right look to match.

Although the bride's gown steals a lot of focus on the big day, you're not off the fashion-hook yet. If your bride is going all out, you'll need the formal wear to match. Whether you're a friend of the family, or the groom himself, you'll need to look your best.

Is a tux rental for you? If you don’t attend many formal functions, tuxedo rental is an affordable way to look sharp for a single evening. Portland's formal wear shops offer tux rentals in a variety of styles and colors to suit any mood. If you're ready to own your own tuxedo, you'll have a guarantee of the perfect fit and look every time. Tuxedo jackets also look great over a nice pair of jeans for less formal occasions. Portland's formal wear experts will help you achieve your desired look.

When planning your tuxedo rental, give yourself plenty of time to shop. You can schedule a fitting at a Portland formal wear store as early as eight months ahead of time. Fittings for a Portland tuxedo rental are almost always complimentary. Even if you know your size, it's a good idea to get fitted at the store, as tuxedo rental consultants can take more accurate measurements than you can at home.

Are you wondering where to start shopping for your tuxedo rental? Large warehouse stores will have a wide variety of styles and designers, and will usually be more affordable than boutique stores. Small formal wear boutiques, however, can offer more exclusive styles and give you much more attentive service.

If you're attending an outdoor summer event in Portland, look for formal wear in breathable fabrics. The same goes for more informal garden weddings and most daytime events. Sometimes a tuxedo rental is too formal and you'd fare better in a dress shirt and slacks. When in doubt, check the wording on the invitation or ask the host.
