All grooms who find themselves on the journey to find the perfect wedding attire know it can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. The importance of the big day can have many grooms feel overwhelmed by the countless decisions they have to make.

Choosing between various styles, all while making sure your outfit aligns with the overall theme of the wedding–we know it can be a lot. Especially when all the decisions need to be made within the right time frame.

Luckily, there is a stress-free way to find that perfect attire that will capture the essence of your personality and also reflect the joy of the special day.

In this article, we’ll explore The Modern Groom and see how it can help you find the perfect suit with ease.

Get to Know The Modern Groom

Back in 2009, The Modern Groom kicked off with a pretty simple idea: renting a suit is the equivalent of throwing your hard-earned cash to the wind. Mitch Fink, the brains behind the business, opened up a shop in Phoenix, Arizona, despite the naysayers who didn’t believe launching a suit brand in the desert was going to be successful.

But Mitch had a hunch that owning a suit was way smarter than renting one. Fast forward 14 years, they've got five booming locations and are the go-to for men's occasion wear. Mitch saw the success and decided to take The Modern Groom online, bringing their personalized touch to couples nationwide.

With The Modern Groom, it's all about real people who know the ins and outs of getting wedding-ready as they help grooms look sharp for the big day. They're all about nailing the nitty-gritty details because they get it—you're putting your trust in them to deliver the perfect attire for the most important day of their lives.

From sizing you up to getting that suit just right, they're there every step of the way to guide you through the online process and leave you feeling confident throughout the process. The Modern Groom knows everybody is unique and they will make sure you feel like a million bucks when it counts the most.

Styles We’re Loving

The Modern Groom includes numerous suit styles, so you’ll surely find the one you dream of. These styles will complement different wedding themes, whether you're planning a spring soirée or a summer celebration.

Grey Suit

Wedding season kicks into high gear during the spring and summer months which is why we think The Charcoal Grey Suit is a standout choice. Unlike black suits, which may feel too dark for the season, charcoal grey offers a sophisticated yet versatile option that complements the vibrant colors of spring.

You can also consider pairing this suit with a pastel-colored pocket square, bowtie, or tie. For a final touch, you can add black or brown dress shoes.

Black Tuxedo

Another thing we love to see is grooms exuding James Bond levels of sophistication on their wedding day, which is why we’re obsessed with The Tuxedo. If you’re looking for an outfit that perfectly aligns with a black-tie dress code, then you won’t have to look any further.

This classic ensemble features a 2-button notch lapel, flat-front pants, and satin accents. You can pair this with black accessories and a white or black dress shirt to tie it all together.

The Tan Suit is our favorite choice for outdoor weddings held in gorgeous venues such as gardens, beaches, or tropical locations. Its sultry nude tone not only radiates sexy sophistication but it beautifully complements a variety of backdrops.

This suit is also a great option for daytime weddings and can still look stunning paired with rich or light-colored accessories.

Finding the Perfect Fit

When it comes to finding the perfect fit, The Modern Groom offers a comprehensive range of sizes to accommodate every physique and preference.

With sizes ranging from 34S to 62L, as well as a 56-waist pant, grooms have ample options to ensure a tailored fit that flatters their individual proportions. Additionally, the pants are intentionally left unhemmed, which provides flexibility for customization with a tailor to achieve the ideal pant length.

Moreover, if you ever find yourself in need of help, The Modern Groom offers one-on-one assistance to address any fit questions or concerns once you receive the package.

In the rare instances where alterations are needed, such as significant sizing discrepancies, free exchanges are available to ensure you look and feel your best on the big day.

Beyond the Suits

While the suit may be the focal point of the groom's ensemble, attention to detail is key in achieving a polished look. This is where accessories come into play. Finishing touches add a touch of personality and sophistication.

Statement ties or bows, carefully chosen for their patterns and textures, serve as small yet impactful details to express your unique personality. The combination of colors and designs within these accessories can convey a sense of individuality.

Let's not forget the often-overlooked hero – the belt. A high-quality belt can seamlessly tie together the elements of your attire, acting as both a functional and aesthetic detail. Choose a belt that complements the color and style of your suit, as it contributes to the overall cohesion of your appearance.

Decoding the Price Tags

Decoding the price tags at The Modern Groom is a straightforward process and we’re here to break down everything you need to know about their pricing and packages.

The base package, aptly named "THE SUIT," comes at an affordable $210, encompassing the essentials of Jacket, Vest, and Pants.

Where and How To Shop

When it comes to shopping at The Modern Groom, the experience is not only convenient but also entirely virtual. As a fully online store, they recommend grooms plan ahead and place their order within a 4-6 month timeline from the wedding date.

The ideal deadline for the wedding party’s orders is set at 2 months before the big day. One unique aspect of their services is the ability to take measurements from the comfort of your own home or even during a lunch break at work.

Once you have your measurements, you can consult with one of The Modern Groom's wedding specialists and then sit tight and wait until the suit arrives at your doorstep. From there, you can make minor adjustments to the pant hem to ensure the perfect fit.

To streamline the process for the entire wedding party, The Modern Groom provides a user-friendly portal. Grooms can easily navigate to the "Wedding Party" tab on the portal, extending invitations to all members.

Each member receives an email with login details, including their email login, password, and a direct link to the portal. Groomsmen specifically have access to the "Your Suit" tab, so they can have a truly organized experience. In case any invitation emails go astray, a direct link to the portal is readily available on The Modern Groom's website for quick access.

Planning a wedding is an exciting journey, but it can get overwhelming very quickly. Thinking about all the big and small details, making timely decisions, choosing correctly… It’s a roller coaster. But, selecting your suit doesn’t have to be a stressful ride.

The Modern Groom will ensure the search for the perfect wedding attire is not just a necessity but a delightful experience. They can guide you through this significant chapter, all while turning the pursuit of elegance into a cherished memory that lasts a lifetime.
