Protocol on Formal Attire

Groom should wear a black full dress (tailcoat) suit, white or other color tailcoat is acceptable. The shirt should be coordinating with tailcoat, and the tie and vest must match the tailcoat in color, except if wearing black full-dress you should wear white wing collar pique shirt with white pique vest and bow.
Shoes: Black.

Ushers and Junior Groomsmen should be in a similar style to the groom. The most formal situation would require that ushers and junior groomsmen to wear identical tailcoat suits as that of the groom. Fathers can be the same as the groom, ushers, or in a classic tuxedo. Guests in formal wear should also be similar to the groom. For an elegant mood, specify Black Tie on the invitations. Guests will wear black tuxedos, ring bearer same as groom/groomsmen.
