    In York? I'm in York and can't find suits cheap anywhere. Could you PM me where you are getting these from please?

    We would like to have everyone matching but simply cannot afford it with being quoted £80 each!

    They are going to Bradleys, but only hiring
    Shirts
    Cravats
    wastcoats

    The VIPs will be wearing their own black suits. Very MSE.
    Ask your 'men' if they will do this, cuts cost dramatically.

    Just for interest, the wedding and reception is at Bedern Hall and reception is at Merchant Taylors Hall near Monk Bar, we are very excited.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • It's £90 per outfit hire here in Lancashire,,we have discussed the idea of wearing own suits but I love the morning suit

    I've got the 8 men... Groom, Bestman, 2x Fathers, Usher, 2x Groomsmen and a Pageboy. They're all wearing the same suit with and ivory waistcoats. The groom is having a fuschia pink ruche and hankie, and the others are having baby pink. Suits are £76 (£61 for pageboy) and that's for suit, shirt, waistcoat, ruches, hankies, cuff links and shoes! Getting them from It's Bliss in Doncaster :)

    Best man and groom are going to get their suits sorted, mum found dad a tie which is in the colour range of my dress, asda did a colour tie but darker, which i got for £3, for DS although he claims he won't wear it.


    Mum and dad live in France so i won't be matching dad up with the groom, and ds only really needs a suit jacket as he will wear his work trousers (they look clean tidy and neat), just bought DS his shoes for work which if kept clean and scuff free he can wear them too.
