Your East Anglian Wedding - April/May 2020 (Issue 42)

54 Getting the guys sorted can be a challenge, especially if the groomsmen are spread far and wide and clothes shopping isn’t really their thing! Sometimes the bride will take over when it comes to style and colour choices or leave it up to their other half; it’s all down to whatever works for you. What’s important is to agree on something everyone will feel good in and that’s comfortable to wear. Menswear experts, Coes of Ipswich provides a made-to-measure service as well as an extensive choice of suits to hire in a wide range of sizes, with four different length fittings and adjustment service to ensure the perfect fit. Their flagship store in Norwich Road, Ipswich has a floor devoted to wedding and evening suits and as well as branches in Maldon and Felixstowe the company has departments in Golding of Newmarket and Goddards of King’s Lynn. The company reports: “Top hat and tails remain very popular, with navy and silver grey being the most popular colour choices at present.  There’s also a herringbone option in darker grey and both classic and lightweight black morning suits for traditionalists and typical Ascot wear.  Lounge suits have become increasingly popular for weddings, with navy and royal blue the number one trend.  However silver grey isn’t far behind in popularity and black is always one of the favourites.” Visit coes.co.uk/weddinghire When it comes to your bridesmaids, finding something to please everyone can be a challenge.
