We could have done tuxedo – what we’re really talking about is what the chaps are wearing. We think that anything goes – morning suits are not really going to be comfortable if you’re getting married on the beach. Personally, we’re loving the relaxed vibe of an open-necked shirt with a crisp suit, probably because it has a hint of the George Clooney about it.
We seem to have had a real upsurge in chaps in kilts recently: lucky for us, because that’s probably our joint top outfit (we're a little biased, admittedly, Mr Illustries#1 wears his as often as possible). So we thought we’d share a tip we heard when Emma was panicking about how to bring the look together for her own wedding. Loads of the guys, including the wedding party, were in different tartans and the groom’s family plaid was a little ‘loud’ for the more subtle palette she had in mind. A very clever birdie told us that all you need to do is match the top half – as long as the jackets, shirts and ties match, the tartans will blend. And somehow, it really works!
At Illustries, we're all about memories: remembering, celebrating and enjoying all those special times that can pass too quickly. We think memories deserve to be shared, and so we're sharing. Here, in our blog, we are creating a Library of Days. Our own as we build our business, and yours as you celebrate weddings, births, big life events - you name it, we'll celebrate it!
