Wedding planning questions
How formal should a DC wedding party dress?
Quite formal. The District's historic, estate and hotel venues set a high bar, so a well-cut navy or charcoal suit with a three-piece for the groom reads correctly where a more casual look would not.
Does summer humidity change the choice?
For outdoor events, yes. Mid-Atlantic summers are humid enough that a waistcoat becomes uncomfortable outdoors; keep the three-piece for indoor venues or for October, DC's strongest peak month.
Can groomsmen across the region order together?
Yes. Each orders the same builder configuration and ships to his own address anywhere in the U.S. at no extra cost, so a party spread across the District, Maryland and Virginia still matches exactly.
