In theory, you would think getting the groom and groomsmen suited and booted but be easy… wrong! We took a first tentative trip to Saville Row in London to get a few ideas. If we were millionaires then this would be the place to go. Sadly, we are both mere public servants planning our wedding on a budget so as nice as it was to go window shopping, we thought we better hit the high street.
When it comes to style we are both quite similar in that we love vintage. It is going to be hot in Greece but we couldn’t quite envisage saying our vows with Glenn dressed for the beach in flip flops and shorts. Preferring to be formally dressed for the occasion, Glenn was on the look out for a 3-piece vintage style suit, light in colour and made of light weight fabric. We scoured the high street and decided cream linen was not for him. Most wedding suits were either dark or light grey and we felt this was not the colour for our Greek Island wedding either.
Then a friend of ours who had got married 2 years ago suggested we pay a visit to these guys at Dress 2 Kill http://www.dress2kill.com/. Bespoke suits at very reasonable prices was just what we were looking for so booked our appointment. They were brilliant. We chose the fabric and matching lining for the jacket and waistcoat and a few weeks later, Glenn had his first fitting. Perfect! So perfect in fact that his best man and Father of the Bride decided to go for the same suit as well.

So all we needed to do was sort out 3 groomsmen and a bridesman. The boys hit the high street and found that Moss had the most variety and decided to go for a smart beige 2-piece. http://www.moss.co.uk/
So that's the boys sorted, my 2 bridesmaids and bridesman, Mother of the Bride and groom, Father of the bride and of course the bride and groom themselves!
