Groom

Here are the important things to consider in finding the appropriate groom’s attire:

• •    formality of the wedding
• •    time of the ceremony
• •    bride’s gown
• •    shop at boutiques with a variety of styles to choose from
• •    look and reserve for groom’s suit weeks before the wedding
• •    ask the stores return policy in case of some changes
• •    shopping malls have plenty of wedding boutiques
• •    look for wedding shops with discounted prices
• •    comfort, fit and quality of the attire

Though some grooms prefer Tuxedo and three piece suit, Barong Tagalog is the perfect choice for wedding occasions in the Philippines. One reason is because of the tropical climate of the country. Also, the Filipino style of looking good is by wearing our very own Barong Tagalog. There are  plenty of tailoring houses where you can select the best Barong. Price may vary according to the material used, design and style, ranging from Php8,000.00 to Php10,000.00.

Barong Tagalog Styles

• •    Pelaez has a broader and wider U-shaped embroidery design around the pechera.
• •    Raya the most common style for wedding occasion, has a U-shape embroidery around the pechera and strips of embroidery design on the sleeves and at the back of the shirt.
