Favourbrook menswear

I bet there are a few men out there who think picking out their wedding suit will be easy – they’ll just drag one of their work suits out of their closet and wear it with a snazzy waistcoat. Well shame on them!

Favourbrook menswear is a fab range of up-to-the-minute formal suits with contemporary twists. With silks sourced from Austria, Switzerland and France they create superior ranges of suits with decorative detailing whilst still remaining truthful to a classical style. Cravats complete the full formal look.

This season’s range follows the long lapel look with low buttoning, single breasted jackets, pastel shirts and classic tailoring.

Marc Wallace groom’s waistcoats

I may have mentioned on Bridalwave recently that weddings have very little to do with the actual groom but I take it back! Marc Wallace have a great range of suits and waistcoats for the modern groom who wants to inject a bit of pizzazz into his outfit whilst still being fully co-ordinating with the rest of the bridal party (and the, er, tableclothes).

I like the herringbone waistcoat brights in pink, silver, purple and blue (blue, left, £145) and the elegant linen range. For more of a statement piece try the scattered diamonds or polka dot lines.

Formal wear – wedding lounge suits

I do like a man in a good suit and at least on his wedding day, what with all that man grooming, he should spruce up nicely. Now that groomwear has expanded from the traditional tails to the more contemporay tuxedo and everything in between, there’s plenty to choose from. Should you not fancy forking out for a one-off suit you may like to take a look at Formal Affair who have 15 branches throughout UK and Wales.

The chap on the left is wearing ‘Madrid’ a blue mohair lounge suit from the contemporary collection. If you’re struggling to make the groom match the bridal party (possibly so that he’s easy to spot in the event of a getaway?), they’ll even make up a cravat and waistcoat if you provide the material.

The site is also worth having a look at just to laugh at the models. What exactly has put the fear into this man?
