Spurling

The boys went in for their suit fittings.

Originally we looked at Ferrari Formals. They have an excellent selection of suits and frippery. But at nearly $300 per person it was a lot of money for something that we couldnt keep afterwards.

Then we went to Spurling, who have moved into Myers. They have pretty much the same selection of suits PLUS you get Myer Points!

That won me over :) and at $220 each, it was a little cheaper.

Interesting

This has got to be one of the stranger but useful items I've come accross...

Aimed at Gentlemen with vertical issues, this item will help them add height. So if you're lucky enough to have a bride that wants to wear 5-inch hooker shoes on her wedding day, you can tower along side her subtlety... Click here to buy

Suite Hire? or Sue-me on Fire?

At the cost of $300 I had been toying with the option of purchasing the suits for the boys. I mean if I can a Suit at $200 then I would have $100 to get shirt vest, tie and pocket-cheif... It would all boil down to the cost of the vest...

One place quoted me:
Hire a vest on its own is $50, To rent with a suit $15. To Buy $150. Bleh!

BLOODY. RIDICULOUS. Seriously Men of "Austraylia" You are held to ransom! Cost of apparell is so much more expensive!

That was Myers. Who have got a new Formal Hire Franchise, Spurling. Their suits are around the $220 mark, so that plus shirt and vest is around the $250 mark. Which is cheaper than the Ferrari Formal Quote. Ill try DJ's next and Chorleys too.

Convincing Required...

In Chinatown, next to Gelatissmo on Sussex street, there is a Chinese wedding shop. In the shop window is one of the coolest most flourished suits I've seen for ages!
The three piece was made from silk embroidered fabric, and a gold chain holds the jacket together.

I flicked Steph a questioning look, to which he replied with an adamant No. Wish me luck ;)

Groom Collage

I'm not sure about a red rose corsage... it looks tacky... and for that matter I've seen photos of red and white bouquets and they look so 80's!!! might have a complete colour change!

Stay tuned!

How to fold a Pocket Square

Hey! First Groom Entry!

Pocket Squares - A good How-to site.

I think 2 points is enough... 4 Points and that Mountian Fold looks like the Sydney Opera House.

I also learnt that you shouldn't have the tie and pocket square from the same bolt of fabric, they compliment Ooh! Obviously I'm still learning!

For Male Readers: I like this site. Esp What the hell is a wedding registry?
