A wedding day is full of details — and for grooms, one of the biggest is what to wear.
Finding a sharp, well-fitting suit or tuxedo shouldn’t be stressful.
Here’s a quick guide to make your rental process easy, smooth, and stylish — whether your wedding is in Davenport, Bettendorf, or Moline.
Step 1: Decide Between a Suit and a Tuxedo
The main difference? Satin.
A tuxedo has satin details (on the lapels, buttons, and stripes), while a suit is all fabric.
Tuxedos lean more formal; suits can work for everything from backyard weddings to black-tie affairs.
Step 2: Coordinate with the Wedding Colors
Brides spend hours finding the perfect palette — your attire should fit seamlessly.
Bring a swatch, photo, or bridesmaid dress when you visit your formalwear shop. The best places can match colors precisely for ties, vests, and accents.
Step 3: Plan for Out-of-Town Groomsmen
If your wedding party is spread across the country, ask your tux shop how they handle remote fittings.
Some offer national services that let distant groomsmen get measured locally, then send measurements directly to the store preparing the suits.
Step 4: Try Before You Rent
Many large chains don’t stock suits in-store—they ship them in days before the wedding.
Local stores that keep full inventory on hand allow you to try on the exact style and fit well in advance, saving you from last-minute panic.
