For my suit I wanted a modern twist on a vintage styled three piece tweed number and searched all the high street shops and some internet sites looking for the right one but couldn’t find what I was looking for.
Then I came across another local company called Vintage Suit hire in Bedford which is run by a delightful couple called Jess and Tom.
They had just what I was looking for. Beautiful three piece tweed suits designed by themselves in a choice of 3 colours: brown, grey and blue.
After much deliberation I decided on the blue for myself and the grey for my groomsmen and both fathers.
I’ve always had trouble with suits because of my body shape but this wasn’t a problem, Jess took all of my measurements and I had a custom one made to measure which fit perfectly.
The Blue is set off amazingly with tan coloured buttons on the jacket and waistcoat. I paired the suit with a stunning tan leather Ted Baker belt and John Lewis tan leather brogues.
For our pageboy we opted for a similar grey tweed suit which we sourced from Roco Clothing which was a great fit.
To match the bridesmaids my groomsmen, fathers, pageboy and I wore either mint green or dusky pink ties and pocket squares which set the suits off nicely. All sourced from Swagger and Swoon.
Another great touch supplied by Jess and Tom were their accessories I picked up 2 lapel pins one of a feather and the other of a stags head for myself, then I chose a stunning pocket watch for each of my groomsmen which Jess got engraved for me with messages to each of them for me to give them on the day as a gift.
