    We used Debenhams last year on one of their offers - they seemed to have the best range of waistcoats and cravats.
  • I haven't used them yet, but am planning on using them for my wedding (which isnt booked yet lol)
    As they are in Leicester and not far from me I was planning to go and see them first.

    I think Moss Bros do a discount if you have an O2 phone of something? That may help with the costs.

    My SILs wedding they hired the suits and shirts but MIL had to make the cravats and handkerchiefs as they could not get the right colour.

    Alternatively do what my hubby did and just have cream waistcoats and cravats, rather than tieing it all in to a colour scheme. They looked very smart.

    If you do see them can you let me know what you think of them! I live in Hampshire, so a bit of a long way to go for a look-see!
  • We're getting ours from Slaters and they were really helpful. We're paying £62 each for 5 suits with waistcoat and shirt.

    They didn't have a colour to match our theme (BHS teal) so we got cravats and hankies from here

    We paid just under £10 each and the guy was really helpful sending colour swatches etc.

    It was only a couple of £s more than hiring them and will hopefully sell them after for a few quid.
