Fashion Advice for Groom and co

    Howdy,

    Been doing a lot of research into my wedding suit lately and am still undecided, that includes outfit best man an grooms man

    Her dress is Ivory cream and the bridesmaids are wearing a peachy colour. Wedding is in Italy at the end of the summer. Bouquets will be picked wild on the morning.

    My latest thought is a navy 2 piece suit with tanned shoes. No idea on tie colour. It's a rusticy place so was thinking some wild looking boutonnieres also

    If anyone has any thoughts, suggestions or sites I'd love to hear them, especially on how best to mix it up between me and the other 2.

    Nice one

    oooh, sounds lovely OP! I love more low key, rustic weddings!

    Nay 2 piece sounds nice, I'd go with an ivory shirt rather than white, and try not to match the bridesmaids dresses with the tie, I think it looks too "matchy matchy".

    Be careful with the fabric, because italy at the end of our summer is still very warm, your traditional wool or wool blend suit you get in Ireland will likely be a bit too heavy. A cotton or linen suit would feel much better.

    Something like a gingham check or a seersucker would suit the whole "rustic summer" vibe you guys have going on, like this-

    Of course if you're feeling really flash you could dress up a plain navy suit with a bowtie! I love it, but I know not everyone does.

    You should check out the groom section on offbeat bride, you'll get some cool ideas on stuff for warmer climate on there

    You should definately check out some wedding blogs for inspiration -

    http://greenweddingshoes.com/

    www.rocknrollbride.com

    are two that come to mind that will give you a few ideas.

    I really like grooms just wearing waistcoats or braces but obviously that look won't suit everyone.

    Good to hear you are moving outside the morning coat circles - can't stand them.
