    Are you really going to strut your stuff in a tired hired penguin suit? Go bespoke, it is the new trend and is not as leg breakingly costly as you might think.

    Knowing what to wear to a traditional morning or black-tie wedding is easy. However dressing appropriately for today’s more non-conventional weddings can pose a serious challenge for the modern groom. Before putting on that hired penguin suit, grooms should consider more contemporary options for looking their best on their big day, whether it’s in a church, on a beach, at a lake, or up in the mountains.

    Today’s grooms are no longer the neglected member of the wedding party when it comes to demanding a stylish and sophisticated look. More and more, male wedding parties and guests are going for bespoke suiting that reflects their personalities and allows them to feel at ease in a suit that fits. Should she balk at the added expense, London based fashion house, A Suit That Fits, provides hand-tailored evening wear for the price of hiring an outfit. And be real, the man of the day will get a lot more wear out of it than that white-lace number she's re-mortgaging the house to buy.

    Hand tailored, bespoke pure new wool Suits start from £200 and the company operate a flexible pricing system that provides you with the means to design and create your own individual suit with complete control over how much you spend.

    Harassed bridegrooms-to-be can call on web savvy wedding planner, Trisha Dash-O’Toole at Indigo Sky Events, to soothe their pre-nuptial nerves. The screening of a new advisory webinar has been especially designed with grooms in mind - offering helpful hints and tips - so they know what’s expected of them on their big day.

    Indigo Sky’s ‘Groom’s Guide’ webinar features helpful advice on how to choose the very best Best Man and highlights what to bear in mind whilst planning and preparing the perfect speech. Other topics include surviving the stag do, choosing and briefing the ushers, selecting witnesses and choosing the ideal outfit – not forgetting the Groom’s own grooming ritual, so he’s looking good, on top form for the special day that lies ahead!

    Grooms are reminded that traditionally the planning of the honeymoon is their concern – although nowadays couples tend to plan their honeymoon together – and they’re supplied with a guide on the logistics involved. They’re taken through the dos and don’ts of remembering the rings and choosing an appropriate gift for the bride-to-be to cherish, as a lasting memento of the big day.

    As Indigo Sky founder, Trisha Dash-O’Toole observed, the groom has a vital role to play on the big day, but often feels just a little left out as he plays second fiddle to his bride-to-be.

    "All-to-often, the groom feels like he’s playing something of a supporting role as the focus of attention is undoubtedly upon the bride-to-be. However, there’s so much for him to remember in order to ensure that he plays his part perfectly and in line with the bigger picture".

    For example, the groom needs to plan his speech, decide on his gift for the bride and he also needs to know that it’s perfectly OK for him to allocate special time for himself and his bride on the big day. However, this won’t happen by accident and he needs to make a special effort to ensure it’s factored in to the day’s itinerary!”

    The advisory webinars are proving convenient for time-poor brides and grooms-to-be: ‘’Feedback has been excellent and visitors have really enjoyed the immediacy, accessibility and personalised approach of the webinar format.”

  • GROOMS What a Job! 9341 views

    Your job could come in handy if you follow in the footsteps of plumber, Dan Scott who put his skills to use in bartering for a wedding in the popular Peak District.

    Gemma, a part-time catering assistant, and Dan, a plumber and part-time fire fighter, got engaged in 2005 but had to put their trip down the aisle on hold because the costs were too high. Gemma's mum however, was not to be detered. She came up with the idea of a bartered wedding and contacted the BBC's One Show.

    Located in Derbyshire, the couple had long set their hearts on the historic Ringwood Hall with its fabulous surrounding gardens. So it was a dream come true when Dan was able to put his plumbing services to good use in a new development at Ringwood Hall to convert former servant quarters into luxury guest accommodation. Meanwhile Gemma worked with the housekeeping staff to contribute to the costs of their wedding reception.

    Rona Cosh, Director/General Manager at Ringwood Hall commented: “Dan and Gemma were able to take advantage of our mid week rates for weddings and late availability concessions but they’ve still had to work really hard to pay towards their wedding reception costs."

    The couple also worked on bartering with other suppliers for photography, bridal wear, and rings and Dan reduced the wedding costs further by contracting his cousin to install new lighting at the church. The whole process wasn't as smooth as they would have liked. A couple of days before the big day Dan said: “It’s been really tough doing all the extra jobs on top of our normal working day and it’s put a real stress on our relationship. I’ve never worked so hard at anything in my life!

    On May 29th the happy couple tied the knot on a budget that came in well under £3000!
