All about hiring your wedding outfits | Nottingham & Lincolnshire natural wedding photographer

You can save money by hiring out your outfit, especially if you are not going to wear it again!

Our top three tips with suits:

• it's important to get the measurements at least 2 months before your wedding day and then a final fitting 1-2 weeks before your wedding.

• Get a member of the bridal party to gather the outfits after the wedding and make sure that everything is all in order, that they are washed and pockets are empty!

• As children grow so rapidly, they may need measuring one month before your wedding day.

With so much focus on the dress, the venue, and the flowers, choosing the groom’s suit can perhaps get forgotten in the wedding planning process! It may appear a simple task but there are a lot of things to consider, plus the wedding suits will be a major feature in your pictures so it’s important to get it right!

Make sure you do your research:

Take a look at Pinterest, Facebook, and Instagram – they are great places to start when thinking about your wedding suit. Also, don’t forget to check out your venue and photographers on social media for inspiration. Make sure whatever you choose compliments the bridesmaid’s dresses whether it's the suit color or keeping a pop of colour to the chosen neckwear and pocket square.

If you’re planning on hiring your wedding suits:

We’d suggest starting the process 12 to 6 months before your wedding date. A lot of advice online suggests to start planning suits around the 3 months before the date mark. However, this doesn't leave a lot of time to find your chosen suit company and with a lot of lockdown wedding rearrangements to consider - it's best to book early and secure your date.

For those of you planning to buy your suit:

We’d suggest that you start this as early as possible. A suit can be designed and delivered in 4 months, but we’d advise having your first appointment at least 6 months before so that you can fully enjoy the experience.

I hope that these tips help you.
