if you are a guest at the wedding then always read the invitation and double check what the dress code is! if the dress code on the invite states ‘Formal’ then expect a formal weddings and dress in your preferred formal dress ware.
Typically we have 3 types of wedding dress ware:

• we have the very formal dress code which is suit and tails with a white tie.
• The more traditional and formal dress code which is black tuxedos, the darker suits and cuff links.
• This one is the more eccentric of all dress code wearing more of a seventies or eighties type suit with flowery type of shirt.

Basically a lot of people will have the dress ware organised based around the type of location that the venue is held at. So if your getting married on the beach then very formal traditional dress wear will seem rather extreme and the more casual flowery style may be more appropriate. As long as the groom stands out as the man of the hour then all is fine.

you must also take into account the heat and humidity at the wedding venue itself when choosing the materials for your ‘wedding suits‘. If the climate is cooler then it may be more prudent to wear a woolen suit with maybe a jumper and tie underneath whereas in a more humid and hotter climate you may want to look for more of a linen type of suit to wear to reduce any sweating during the main event.

Find the wedding suits for the big occasions

Wedding suits come in all shapes and sizes and also in all wallet sizes. You can buy on a budget and also splash out on high end designer labels. As is the case for many products you pay for better quality and even more for individually tailoring and bespoke items. Once you have worked out your budget, decide if you want to keep the suit for any future posh engagements that will come up in the future. If you want to save money and don’t think you want to keep a suit in the wardrobe you could also contemplate hiring a wedding suit.

Either way you should investigate all your options and weigh up the pros and cons when deciding to hire or to buy from the vast array of suits available. If you chose the purchase path, you can be more selective and get a suit that fits one hundred percent as you can get it tailored to fit you perfectly. A reputable tailor will measure you up for a good comfortable fit and also be able to help with choosing style and colour.

The other option is to hire a suit. You still need to budget for this and decide on how much to spend as the price will depend on the quality and brand of suit on offer. With hiring and buying you can often get discounts if you order more than one suit at once. Great if you want to have a certain style or colour for the main male attendants like the best man, father of the bride and page boy. There’s a good selection of Men’s Wedding Suits to hire at Formally Yours.

If you decide to colour co-ordinate and give an overall style or look to all the men’s wedding suits, especially those in the family and close up wedding photos, you need to tie in with everyone and get the ball rolling even earlier. Having a styled jacket trim that matches everyone else, adds that special little touch that people will remember and comment on, but could need some bespoke tailoring that takes longer to finish than something straight off the peg. Making that extra effort will pay big dividends on the day though and you’ll make a big splash with such a sharp wedding posse.

There are three main areas to consider when going through the process of choosing your wedding suit you should decide upon:-

Morning Attire

At the far end of the formal scale the men will wear a morning coat, waistcoat, trousers white shirt and silk or satin tie with the option to add a top hat and gloves. Morning suits are available in a vast range styles with almost any colour imaginable. Accessories such as the handkerchief, buttonhole and cummerbund, can be matched with the overall colour scheme chosen for the day.

Evening Wear and Lounge Suit

Wedding suits known as Lounge suits are normally worn for the less formal wedding and are a popular choice, particularly for men unaccustomed to wearing formal attire. Your shirt is normally white and should be, and the tie should being a nice pale grey, with shoes and socks matching the colour of the suit. Once you have chosen your colour and style all the adult male members of the wedding party should dress to complement the groom. Smart lounge suits are also a suitable choice for register office weddings.

Highland Wear

Quickly becoming a popular choice for many grooms and not necessarily restricted to the Scottish grooms, Highland wear makes a real statement and it does look fantastic if you’ve got the legs for it! Stores which specialise in Highland dress will guide your choice and assist you in choosing the complete outfit.

Making the decision

When deciding on your wedding suit there are many things to consider but your aim is make sure your happy on your special day this day will be one of the most memorable in your wedding history so getting your suit just right is a must.

Remember think about what type of wedding you want and how you’re going to feel stood up there in front of all your friends and family, stood next to the one you love the most, stood proud in your crisp new wedding suit then picture yourself in each of the suit you have short listed and now decide which suit you want for your wedding.

Wedding Suit Accessories give you, the groom, the opportunity to add a little of your personality to your wedding suit outfit.

You may be a little restricted for example in your individual choice of tie colour, especially if you have a colour theme that you need to stick to (or risk being hung drawn and quartered by the future ‘Mrs” if you deviate from it).

However, cuff links, if you are careful, is one accessory option that you might want to have some fun with.

Cuff links come in all shapes and styles, so there is bound to be one style that suits your taste, so what are your preferences?

Here are just a few examples:

• Great looking black enamel spots cufflinks giving the appearance of bubbles!
• Mixed blue enamel cufflinks set in a grid design
• Scottish Flag design cufflinks set with both a high polish and sandblasted silver finish
• Chunky silver 15mm polo cufflinks set with gold beads on silver chain running through it.

We’ve got you spoilt for choice already !

Wedding shirts traditionally worn by the groom are the formal Dress Shirt style. Over the years men have developed a more modern style of dress and in their choice of wedding shirts. However, some couples do still like to embrace past traditions and they plump for full traditional wedding attire.

Wedding Shirt Facts:

• A traditional tailored shirt has various components, such as the sleeves, which cover the arms, and a band of fabric around each wrist known as a cuff.
• The collar, a strip around the neck, is normally a turndown collar, with the strip folded down away from the neck, leaving two points at the front, the width of which is the spread.
• Where the two sides of the shirt fasten at the front, the buttons are fastened down the placket, and the yoke is the shaped piece of fabric used to cover the back of the shoulders
• There are various different styles of collar, which is the primary indicator of the formality of a shirt
• The main distinctions between cuffs are whether they require buttons or cufflinks to fasten, and whether they are folded back (double) or single.
• A high quality traditional shirt has long tails, extending almost to the knees at the back, and so has seven or eight buttons
• The vertical strip of fabric running down the front opening is called the placket.
• To give extra fullness to the back, there are often pleats where the back panel joins to the yoke.
• A dress shirt is ironed to remove any wrinkles and can be treated with starch for added smoothness and stiffness.
• Short-sleeved shirts have a plain (no-button) hem above the wearer’s elbow. They are considered a casual summer or tropical option. Perhaps more suited to a beach wedding in a hot climate.
