Your North West Wedding - April/May 2025 (Issue 91)

48 SUITS YOU IN THE SUMMER I want to wear a three-piece suit for my wedding, but how do you recommend I stay cool on the day? Whatever the weather, a three-piece suit can keep you warm or keep you cool, you just need to choose the right style! In the summer, when you want to avoid breaking a sweat, you should opt for light colours. Darker fabrics like black absorb more heat in hot temperatures, so we recommend opting for lighter shades like beige, tan or sky blues and leaving the dark tones for a winter wedding outfit. You’ll also want to go for lighter, thinner, and more natural fabrics. Thick materials like wool are designed to lock heat in, whereas lightweight fabrics will be more breathable. When shopping for your shirt and suit, look for natural fibres like cotton and linen. Even in the heat, a three-piece suit is perfect for tackling the full day. It means when temperatures rise or you want to take to the dancefloor, you can ditch the blazer and still have a suave put-together look with just the waistcoat and trousers! If you think you’ll spend most of the day without your blazer, remember to choose a waistcoat that’s well fitting, and focus on shoes and accessories that will work both with and without the jacket. 0161 710 0000 www.instagram.com/marcdarcysuits https://marcdarcy.co.uk UNDER CANVAS We’re thinking of hiring a marquee for our upcoming wedding. What do we need to be aware of before booking? Before booking a company, make sure that the marquee has enough space for all of your guests. Always have a budget in mind that is flexible, so you can work with the company to put together a package that suits you. Keep in mind that cheaper isn’t always better. Look for a reputable company that will help you with anything you need. If you’re having a winter wedding, make sure you ask for extras like heaters and lighting to make sure that all your guests are kept warm and comfortable. When booking a marquee, be aware that the tent will need staking down, regardless of whether it’s placed on grass or concrete. 07802 805 026 www.instagram.com/cndevents https://cndeventsandmarquees.com
