Your North East Wedding - January/February 2023 (Issue 54)

HOT TOPIC Those in-the-know solve your wedding dilemmas SUITS YOU My partner and I want matching suits for our wedding – but also don’t want to look identical. What should we choose? Here at Bakers, we recommend subtle changes, such as the waistcoat style or colour to give your suit a lift. Double breasted waistcoats are on trend right now, and work if you’re looking for a difference to your wedding photos. Other ways could be adding fancy ties to give more of an occasion-outfit feel. You want a look that’s timeless, sharp and individual. Sometimes changes can be as small as adding a pocket watch to your outfit, or having a different buttonhole. Whatever you go for, bear in mind that wedding outfits don’t need to be bold and eccentric. A good-fitting garment can be all you need – the pictures are for life, so don’t date your pictures for the sake of being different.

Do you have any tips? Ask any married couple what their day was like, and they won’t be able to answer without mentioning how fast it goes! So, if you’re thinking of hiring a videographer to give you a forever return ticket to the real emotions of the day, you won’t regret it. Choosing a videographer can be a difficult task, so our biggest piece of advice would be to watch their films, as we all have our own styles. Also, watch highlights of videographers who’ve filmed at your venue, picking one whose films make you feel something. If you get emotional watching a stranger’s video, just imagine the feeling of watching your own!
