Don't be afraid of colour

Gone are the days of a black or grey suit, men today have far more choice and can be more colourful. Usually the colourway for the wedding is dictated by the wedding dress and then the Grooms suit will naturally dictate the suit style for the rest of the male attendants.

My advise would be to take time to visit a few Mens attire shops and look at their brochures, which will give you an idea of how a suit might look against a wedding dress or another suit (for male couples). Don't be afraid of colour, there are some really gorgeous waistcoats, ties and cravats out there that will lift a plain colour suit and can softly compliment your 'other halfs' colourways.

I know for some guys the suit fitting can be daunting, especially if your the type that rarely goes clothes shopping! Take your 'other half' with you and chat to the propietor or staff at the shops you visit, it is really worth going to someone you feel can get on with. Getting a suit is as important as getting the dress, it you don't feel right you are not going to be comfortable on the day.
