Suits you Sir

Get quotes for suits to buy and compare them with the cost of hiring. If you are choosing a suit – remember it is likely that you will be able to wear it again and again.
Fancy Dress or Theme

Fancy a Scottish Kilt
The traditional outfit for Scottish grooms is the Highland Morning and you can choose from a huge range of tartans. A kilt should always be worn with a Bonnie. It is up to you what you wear underneath (if anything)!
Gay Grooms get Groomed
A gay wedding is the perfect chance for men to dress up and get groomed. Both grooms can decide if you want to wear matching outfits, complimentary outfits or completely different outfits. You must also decide whether you want your best man and ushers to dress the same. If you have a large wedding group it may be best to hire your suits.

Book your clothes at least 3 months before the wedding to allow time for any necessary alternations.
