SUITED AND BOOTED Richard Wratten is the owner of Gloucester-based Tuxedo Junction. He tells us that with many different options now available to grooms and their groomsmen, choosing the perfect suit can be rather difficult! Richard says, “we have seen an increase in requests for tweed and check suits while at the same time, navy styles have remained a trend. Tradition hasn't disappeared and the tailcoat is also a staple with its sharp, sleek elegance with our modern lightweight versions suiting all body shapes.” Tuxedo Junction offers adult and children's suits to hire and buy in a wide range of sizes. “Different shirt and suit combinations provide comfort which allows us to deliver a fantastic selection and offers plenty of ideas for grooms and their groomsmen looking to coordinate with the bridal party,” Richard says. “All of which allows for a perfect finish, a must for such a special and memorable day.” Richard tells us that becoming popular for weddings during 2021 and beyond is a combination of purchasing and hiring suits with many grooms deciding to buy theirs and hiring the rest. “Our fantastic mix-and-match options teamed with a variety of waistcoat and neckwear choices can make subtle changes allowing the groom and their best men and ushers to stand out.” Tuxedo Junction, Gloucester: 01452 380 066; Cirencester: 01285 644 055, www.tuxedo-junction.co.uk www.instagram.com/tuxedo_junction_gloucester Jane Fishwick is the owner of Wedding Days of Cheltenham located in Gloucestershire, a two-floor store stocking designer wedding dresses, bridesmaids' gowns and men's suits, 01242 224 965, www.weddingdaysofcheltenham.co.uk www.facebook.com/weddingdays Country Master British Heritage Tailoring & Barbershops in the Cotswolds offers the full grooming package, visit www.countrymaster.co.uk to find out more. www.facebook.com/ CountryMasterGentlemensOutfitters ANOTHER OPTION 4 the Wedding located in Gloucester is a formal menswear specialist offering a range of traditional and contemporary suit hire packages and coordinates.
