blue shirts. I kept thinking, "What time was your meeting?" Couldn't they have worn something besides business suits?

AI bet that your problem wasn't really with the men's suits --
if you ask me, this is still appropriate wedding wear, even in daytime -- but with their lack of creativity. A wedding is a social occasion, which necessitates
looking as if you have a life away from your cubicle. Experiment with hues and textures: A lightweight summer suit over a
colorful shirt, for example, is
lovely and appropriate. You
don't need to wear a tie, but
many men look more polished with one on. Be creative -- but don't go overboard. There's nothing like a piano-key pattern or the big Rolling Stones tongue to
make that plain yellow tie look
oh-so-good. Sara Switzer
