Throw Back Thursday: The Powder Blue Tuxedo with Ruffled Shirt
Back when I was a little girl, in 1979, my family received an invitation to a very formal wedding for my father’s cousin in London. We were all very excited to go. We spent a lot of time picking out the perfect clothes and getting ready for the trip.
Once we checked into our hotel room, I remember my dad opening his suitcase and pulling out the most beautiful tuxedo. It was light blue with a blue bow tie and a gorgeous ruffled shirt. The ruffles even had powder blue piping on them. I thought he was the most handsome man there.
Well, now that I am not so young, I look at those photos and they make me giggle. I have nothing against powder blue, but wow, there sure was a lot of it in that tuxedo! Check out the photos below and let me know whether or not you think that this is a look that should come back.
If you are planning a retro wedding, I found these tuxedos at pressthatman.com, vintagetuxedorental.com and sazzvintage.com. I am sure they can help you find the perfect tux to complete your look.
If you have comments on this or any other wedding related topic, please leave a post for me here or email me at susan.southerland@pwg.com.
Your partner in perfect planning,
Susan
