Bridesmaids in bright colors are popular with chartreuse, violet, melon, coral and man- go being favorites. Flower girls should always relate to the bride, while the maids and matrons should complement — not necessarily compete with or match the bride. THE GROOM AND HIS MEN A husband-to-be used to just sit on the side- lines and let his fiancee and her mother tell him what to wear. No more, says Lord West's Harvey Weinstein. There are a few rules that apply. A late morning or early afternoon wedding calls for daytime formalwear — an updated cutaway and striped trousers for the groom and stroller-length coats with striped trousers for his men. If it's an ultraformal wedding, then white tie and tails becomes the proper choice. For late afternoon or early evening cere- monies, tuxedos in an unlimited selection of styles are correct. SPRING AND SUMMER TRENDS New at Pierre Cardin, a licensee of Lord West, are the "Max" tuxedos. One version of the Max is a double-breasted tailcoat that is worn by the groom; the other version features a four-button, one-to-button-style tuxedo jack- et with side vents. Black is still the number one selling color among tuxedos, according to Mr. Weinstein, but surprisingly, ivory dinner jackets are out- selling white jackets for the first time in a decade. Another surprise in the tuxedo scene has been the popularity of the Western look. From Connecticut to Arizona, black-tie ap- parel influenced by the spirit of the West is riding high at weddings. Tuxedos styled with scalloped yokes and pockets are accessorized with bolos and crossover stain ties. ALL THE EXTRAS New Showroom - By Appointment 2338 Coolidge Hwy.
