Here Come The Boys

My hubby-to-be is having six groomsmen, and we’d like them to wear something suitable for our summer wedding. What colours and styles should we look for?

Your groomsmen’s outfits should follow a similar theme to the groom and best man. Firstly, decide how the groom will be styled and this will narrow the choices for your groomsmen. In terms of timescale, we suggest you come for fittings four months before the big day.

There are so many options available, but a traditional morning suit is still very popular. A classic lounge suit is on-trend and offers a slightly less formal option. Evening suits are also growing in popularity for wedding parties. Styles include satin lapels, coloured velvets and paisley prints. Tweed is the latest trend for weddings. Here at Golding of Newmarket, we offer a mix-and-match tweed in blue and brown that can be adapted to suit the style of the wedding.

Our popular ranges include Cheltenham with black tails and stripe trousers, the Newmarket range in navy blue and Blenheima, which is ideal for a summer wedding. If your party contains children, they can be fitted within the ranges too.
