Your Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wedding - June/July (Issue 95)

Step out in style Grooms and wedding guests looking to do a good deed can hire a bespoke suit package, with proceeds going towards the country’s leading end of life charity. The Marie Curie Blue Slim Fit Package is based on two core principles – a great fit and cutting-edge contemporary fashion. The outfit comprises a blue slim-fit jacket and waistcoat, a pair of blue slim-fit flat-fronted trousers, a shirt, a pair of cufflinks and a lemon-coloured tie and handkerchief – the charity’s corporate colours. It’s available in adult and child sizes and available to buy online and through more than 250 Cameron Ross Formal Hire stockists across the UK including across the three regions. With prices starting at £110, £5 of each hire will go to Marie Curie, which provides care and support to terminally ill people and their families across the UK. Georgina Bushell, partnerships manager at Marie Curie tells us, “Now that we’re learning to live with Covid, many people are getting married this year, or next, and looking forward to tying the knot. We’re so grateful to be receiving a portion of the suit hire. Not only is it a beautiful choice, but for guests who are hiring it, they’re helping Marie Curie to continue being there for terminally ill people and their loved ones throughout the country.” Michael Fallon, business development manager at ACS Clothing, who owns the Cameron Ross Formal Hire brand, says, “Marie Curie is an incredible charity that supports so many families in their time of need and I am delighted that we can support them in our own way. Offering our customers a way to donate to a worthy cause by wearing one of our most popular suits is the next logical step in our partnership. At ACS, we are seeing an increase in suit hire bookings and are proud to be able to offer a donation from every Marie Curie Blue Slim Fit Package. This partnership allows our customers to support Marie Curie by hiring the package online or through any of our partner stockists throughout the UK.” ❤ Book it: 0141 781 6530, www.cameronrossformalhire.co.uk; www.facebook.com/CameronRossFormal; www.cameronrossformalhire Marie Curie | www.mariecurie.org.uk/get-involved/fundraise/ fundraise-in-celebration/weddings Grooms and groomsmen, and the fathers of the newlyweds too, are certainly taking more pride in their wedding appearance and enjoying the shopping just as much as the leading ladies. Men’s fashion has come a long way in the last decade, as has the more accepting protocols of wedding traditions. Some of our favourite grooms’ looks here at Your Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wedding are those gents rocking their long beards and tattoos, in a pink waistcoat with a patterned shirt – oh-so-cool, and individual. Check out these top fashion tips... ❤ In the case of a large and luxurious wedding, it is better to opt for a tuxedo or tailcoat. ❤ A wedding in rustic style allows one to put on a country-style outfit – a vest, no tie, moccasins and even a straw hat. ❤ Whichever style, the groom’s suit is simply obliged to fit perfectly on the figure. If it’s made to order, a good tailor will take care of it anyway. If it is bought in a store, then if there are any shortcomings, it is worth contacting a workshop and adjusting it. ❤ For slender figures of short and medium height, fitted jackets with narrowed trousers can be a good option, and for denser and taller men, a straight cut is suitable. ❤ In the summer, opt for a light colour and fabric such as silk, satin, cotton, and linen. For winter, wool, velvet and corduroy in dark colours can look great! ❤ Classic oxfords or derby shoes are the go-to choices for footwear – make sure they are comfortable! ❤ Take your pick of accessories from a tie and tie clip, bow tie, scarf, pocket square, cufflinks, ring, bracelet, watch, necklace, pocket watch, hanky, belt and a buttonhole. www.gettyimages.co.uk BRIDAL BOUTIQUES 67
