Wedding shirts traditionally worn by the groom are the formal Dress Shirt style. Over the years men have developed a more modern style of dress and in their choice of wedding shirts. However, some couples do still like to embrace past traditions and they plump for full traditional wedding attire.

Wedding Shirt Facts:

A traditional tailored shirt has various components, such as the sleeves, which cover the arms, and a band of fabric around each wrist known as a cuff.
The collar, a strip around the neck, is normally a turndown collar, with the strip folded down away from the neck, leaving two points at the front, the width of which is the spread.
Where the two sides of the shirt fasten at the front, the buttons are fastened down the placket, and the yoke is the shaped piece of fabric used to cover the back of the shoulders
There are various different styles of collar, which is the primary indicator of the formality of a shirt
The main distinctions between cuffs are whether they require buttons or cufflinks to fasten, and whether they are folded back (double) or single.
A high quality traditional shirt has long tails, extending almost to the knees at the back, and so has seven or eight buttons
The vertical strip of fabric running down the front opening is called the placket.
To give extra fullness to the back, there are often pleats where the back panel joins to the yoke.
A dress shirt is ironed to remove any wrinkles and can be treated with starch for added smoothness and stiffness.
Short-sleeved shirts have a plain (no-button) hem above the wearer’s elbow. They are considered a casual summer or tropical option. Perhaps more suited to a beach wedding in a hot climate.
