Suit Rentals??

ekalmes

Hello ladies, my colors are navy blue and lime green and we have decided to have the groomsmen wear navy blue suits (I just can't do black tuxes with navy blue!), however I am having a hard time finding a place that rents suits. Most tux places don't offer them and I don't want to make the groomsment buy new suits. Does anyone know of a place that will rent suits in the northwest burbs?

Thanks!!

I feel compelled to respond, bc my colors were Navy and Apple Green!

So I tried the suit rental thing, Formally Modern does it, but they only have one suit in Navy and it is polyester. I looked everywhere.

We had the guys wear black tuxes, I think the guys looked great in black. We did all black, so no navy on the guys anywhere. It was nice because they didn't look so matchy matchy with the girls, or so "prom" as I think some matchy looks create.

The girls wore Navy dresses with black shoes, and then both guys and girls had green flowers. We got a ton of complements on the outfits, I think it was nice because the guys looked their best and didn't have to match the girls. I also had the girls wear the same color and fabric dresses, but pick their own style so the whole group wasn't really matchy.

Anyway, I should have my pro pics any day now so you can see how it actually looks together, which I will post when I do!

Black tuxes go with everything! My girls are wearing navy and never for a second did I consider renting navy suits. You don't want EVERYONE in your bridal party pictures to be in navy!

I'm also doing blue and green. We found suit rentals at Saavi Formalwear in Niles. We're doing grey suits with the dads wearing black suits. It's MUCH more affordable than having the men buy suits. Message me if you wantmore info about the place! Good luck!

Our colors are Navy & Pink.  I had to do a little more work, but I got Formally Modern to order in the tux that we wanted.  They ordered in 3 different samples from 2 websites that supply to rental companies.  We found a perfect match & they're able to order in the sizes for all of our men.  One sample was a really nice navy suit, but we wanted a tux.  Maybe give them a call & ask what they can do.  I used the one on Clybourn in the city.
