Men's Formal Wear / Hire Tips

Come in to our showroom and try on our suits!

If you would like the wedding party to be colour co-ordinated with the bridal party please bring a fabric sample along.

Bring 2 men so you can see the different outfits on !

Look at giving pageboys bow ties. They're super cute and they'll love them!

Give yourself plenty of time to choose. Don't be forced into making a decision. We will look after everything for your Groom and ushers the moment they walk through the door

Get in early! Most groomswear is left to the end of the planning, and popular colours and fabrics can run out.

Suits to buy are available in some styles from age 1years up to 64 "chest. Shirts and ties to match your colour scheme are available to purchase. Early viewing is advisable. Order deposit is 50%.

Colour match with the perfect accessories. Tie pins, cufflinks and the gorgeous Silk ties and hankies to purchase in store for that ultimate look

Make an appointment as soon as possible to discuss in detail your formal hire requirements.

Consider giving the groom something different to stand out against his groomsmen. A skinny tie or different colour often makes a difference.

Summer weddings, choose a slimmer fit suit for comfort and style

No appointment is necessary to try on suits for hire. You can order your Formal hire anytime, usually 6 - 9 months in advance. All that is required to make a booking is £20.00 per person.

Consider a morning coat for the ceremony and a jacket for the evening as well as the weight of the fabric for the time of year you are getting married.

Made to measure suits are available for gents. The range of fabrics to choose from is extensive, with colourful linings to compliment your choice. At least 10 - 12 weeks should be allowed.

Make sure the style you choose suits your body shape. Our professional tailors will be on hand to help you with the style that suits you.

Integrate the key bridal colour theme into your Bespoke suit and shirt, to colour coordinate with the bride and the bridal party e.g. link to the lining colour and/or the stitching colour detail.

Unlike the brides outfit which might only be worn once, we will look to make sure your shoes can be worn for your wedding and for different occasion for years afterwards.

Differentiate the groom's outfit from the rest of the key mens outfits. e.g have the same fabric/colour of suit/shirt but have different features on the groom suit e.g. different lapel style, trims.

Think about your themed colours and be creative - perhaps a waistcoat in a contract colour to complement the Bridesmaids / Wedding Party.

We are all individuals, in terms of our shape and aesthetic preferences. A Bespoke suit takes account of your individuality in all respects. Be proud of your wedding photos in years to come!
