Unusual mens suits for wedding day?

Hello All,
Im looking for a suit which is a little different from your usual black.
I have found some really nice ones on the Marc Wallace website
https://www.marcwallace.com
unfortunately the one in like is £650 and the wedding budget has not allowed for a few at that price.
If anyone knows where I can get any "funky" suits from for a decent price then it would really help.
Many thanks
Phil

The link you provide is just the entry to markwallace and doesn't show us what kind of thing you are looking for. Can you post a link to the actual suit you like, or give us a number/name to search on the mark wallace site?“A journey is best measured in friends, not in miles.”

If not then its called Seersucker and comes in a few different colour options. orange and yellow stripes, blue and white stripes, maroon and white stripes etc.
Im looking for any suit that is a little different though, not necessarily these ones. The missus to be has always wanted me to get married in a funky suit but doesn't want me to pay those prices!!!

For that price I'd recommend booking a weekend trip to Thailand and getting one made to measure!

My bloke is having a different outfit from the rest of the men in the wedding party. All we have done is to buy him a jacket to team with the trousers, cravat, waistcoat etc that we are having from the hire place.0

Try the vintage section on ebay or Camden Market if you're near London.
Also, you can get suits made to measure on ebay for 120 or so, it might be worth emailing one of those companies.Organised Birthdays and Christmas: Spend So Far: £193.75; Saved from RRP £963.76

I just got a suit made for my wedding. It cost £230(ish) its a normal type black suit with a purple lining. Fits like a gloves really nice.
But I know if you ring and speak to them they can do different stuff depending on what you want. They are really helpful and I can reccomend them highly enough.
They are based in London but are doing tours around the country, its all on their site.JeremyMarried 9th May 20090 -
If I was you I'd set up a search on ebay as when I searched for 'seersucker suit' I got several hits, including this one:

for less than £30! If you've got a while before the wedding you might strike it lucky and get something in your size! Good luck“A journey is best measured in friends, not in miles.”
