Affordable Groomwear/Usher Hire or Buy

Hi there,

Myself and my fiancee are getting married next August and I am looking for an affordable place to get my Grooms suit and maybe some Usher suits etc and I wondered if anyone had a link to any decent places?

Thanks in advance!:D

    then add a waistcoat and cravat for the groom to make him a bit more posh - these can be got from ebay and various places for under £20

  • Thanks, I never really thought about going to the supermarket and doing it up with the rest of the wedding gear aka waistcoats cravats etc!
  • i am having these for my men and they arent bad quality especially for the price and look like they cost alot more than that

    There's a place called "formal affair" (iirc) online that get half decent reviews and seem to be around £60-70 each.
    Personally, I paid a little more (£85pp) and went to a local, family-run business. Their level of service, selection and help swapping items etc was *well worth* the extra cash - as was the piece of mine that I'd actually tried the suit and liked the material etc well in advance.

    We bought waistcoats and handkerchiefs from http://www.mytuxedo.co.uk we had a jig about with sizes as we ordered for chest and when men have slightly larger bellies you need to go up a size lol. I returned one (free)and had a replacement arrive 2 days later so was impressed with the service as well.I have a feeling they were on quidco as well.
