When it comes to weddings, the bride is,
appropriately, often the center of attention. However, all weddings must
include a groom! Grooms need tips for the Big Day, too. In an event that is
full of details and planning, the groom's entire look, from the shine on his
shoes to the shine in his hair, is naturally important to plan as well. Tux
handkerchief folding is somewhat of an art form, though one need not learn
origami – the ultimate Japanese contribution to the art of folding – in order to
create a fashionable presentation for wedding handkerchiefs.
To fold a handkerchief for a suit or tux, the
groom first needs to select from the wide variety of wedding handkerchiefs
available for the occasion. Classic white is always a fashionable, en vogue
choice, however, coordinating with other wedding colors may be desired. Once
the handkerchief has been selected, the tux handkerchief folding experiments may
begin!
Most grooms may know about the easy, breezy
classic straight edge fold for wedding handkerchiefs, which requires the minimal
effort of folding the handkerchief in half twice to produce a small square,
which is then folded one more time, by one-fourth (not all the way into another
half), so that one side is now twice as long as the other. This style is
alternately known as the “square handkerchief fold” or the “Presidential fold.”
The more stylized presentations for tux
handkerchief folding provide a refined look that speaks of the special effort
and the additional thought most fitting to weddings and other special events.
Some of those stylized looks include the two or three-point handkerchief fold,
the pocket fold, and variations on the “cloud” or “puff” handkerchief fold.
Many online sites have information on various
folds, and suit tailors will have tips as well. Of course, grooms may want to
experiment and come up with their unique tux handkerchief folding style as
well. However they are presented, wedding handkerchiefs are an important
finishing accessory for any suit or tux.
