Grooms attire: How to pick your Tux and get back to life ASAP!
While photographing a Groom recently at Hillside Country Club in Rehoboth, MA I was so impressed with his suit! It was unique, beautifully tailored and amazingly stylish. My Groom felt like a million bucks. When it came time to focus on Jenee Cook Photography Grooms, I knew I wanted to feature The Groom Store RI.

We are here to make your wedding planning experience more enjoyable by helping you choose what will work best for your style and budget!
I am always researching the market to keep up with the latest fashions, designs, and trends to make sure that your groom and groomsmen, look their best! Let me tell you a little about the Groom Store experience.
Scheduling an appointment and what to expect: I encourage the Bride and Groom to call in and schedule an appointment with me, or one of my wedding specialists. The interview appointment is generally 1 hour long and scheduled between 4 months and 8 weeks prior to the wedding date. At your first appointment, we discuss your wants and needs. We will set up a wedding account, try on garments and find exactly what you’re looking for. We also schedule an accessory appointment about 4 weeks before wedding to choose shirts and accessories.
At the interview appointment, you tell me your vision and we will make it happen! Whether it’s a fun themed wedding, like Starry Night, Football, or Rustic, we will find everything you’re looking for. Do you want skull cufflinks? Anchor socks? Ties with soccer balls? Are you having a destination wedding? One of our linen suits, would be perfect! We have no aversion to customizing products or having custom designs made to fulfill your wedding needs. A wedding day should be just as special for the Groom as it is for the Bride and creating a unique look will ensure the Groom feels involved and excited for the big day.
Pinterest boards You know what I love so much? When Brides and Grooms bring me their Pinterest boards, it gets the creative juices flowing. Whatever it is, we find it! When visiting the store, if you visit knowing your theme a suit can be matched to your specific color palette and motif. Bringing a sample of your wedding invitation or color swatch of bridesmaids dresses will help relay what you are looking for as well.
Exceptional service that big box stores cannot offer: To take it one step further, we also take the names and numbers of all your groomsmen and any one that needs a wedding package, even attendees. We take the stress out of you having to contact all your guys to come in and get sized. I personally call every single guy in your party, introduce myself, and ask that they come in within the next two weeks to get sized. If they’re out of state, that’s ok too because we offer an out of town package for them. I keep in touch with your guys throughout the process and will have all your wedding attire out of our store and in your hands a minimum of two weeks prior to your wedding. There’s no picking up your suits the night before and having to wake up early the day after to return them or risk paying late fees. I’m telling you, it’s genius!
If you are planning a wedding in Rhode Island or Massachusetts, give The Groom Store a call!
