    I think cravats look great but my H2B is 6ft 4 with long dreadlocks so he's not really the type for traditional dress!! Id actually like him in a vintage suit with a loose tie but its kinda up to him on that one so we will see!!

    Cravats for us too, but the lady in the shop suggested that the groom has a slightly different shade to the others just so he stands out from the rest of the men. Our colour scheme is purple so the groom is in a lilac one and the best man etc in darker purple.

    Cravats for us, h2b is wearing a different colour too, think one of them may have to pop in for a quick lesson in how to do them up before the big day though!
