Top 10 Tips For Grooms
1) Book early– Ideally grooms should be booking 4 to 6 weeks in advance for their wedding outfits. That way the groom can ensure that everything is booked in time for outfits to arrive for collection. Some suit choices are naturally more popular than others but booking early will ensure everything being on time so is highly recommended.
2) Come for a fitting in advance – Even if you know your size, we recommend that grooms and their party get properly sized by going to their nearest stores for a fitting in advance. Moss Bros Hire offer a fully tailored service where you’ll be measured from head to toe to ensure a perfect fit on the day!
3) Do your research– Make sure the grooms outfit is matching the theme of the bride. Ideally you want the colours to match and not clash and if your brides dress is ultra modern, then grooms may want something more contemporary. It’s often useful if you have a picture from a magazine to bring with you.
4) Saving money – In today’s current climate, every penny counts. At Moss Bros Hire, by booking four or more to be dressed in the wedding party, the groom goes completely free.
5) Button up – When it comes to wearing your outfit, grooms should leave the bottom button of your waistcoat undone and most people rarely do their morning jacket up. It’s something small but will make all the difference.
6) Shirt cuffs– For a truly sartorially smart look, grooms should leave an inch of shirt cuff below the coat sleeve as it balances out the crispness of the shirt at the neckline and contrasts with the dark morning suit.
7) All tied up – If grooms are stuck with how to tie your cravat or tie, don’t worry, ask a member of staff during your fitting to show you exactly how to do it on the day.
8) Collection– After grooms have had their fitting and booked the style, make sure you inform the rest of the party where their nearest store is around the country. Moss Bros Hire have 134 stores nationwide so there should be a store for everyone!
9) Accessorise – If grooms want to add a personal touch to their look, then add some fun cufflinks. Moss Bros do a great range of ‘Groom’ mother of pearl, enamel and crystal cufflinks.
10) Shoes – Last but not least, grooms must never forget to polish their shoes on the day, there’s nothing worse than scruffy shoes with a beautiful outfit!
