Wedding Suit Hire Disasters
Hiring a suit can be more difficult than you think! Make sure you research the company well before handing over your cash.
In the last few years a very well-known Irish suit-hire company has appeared to lose its sparkle. I used them for my own wedding in 2003 and everything went according to plan. However reports have been rife on missing shoes, wrong sizes and shoddy accessories.
Here are some things you must check before your big day:
- Ring the shop to check all the bridal party have been measured and fitted.
- Get your bridal party to make note of their sizes (which can be checked off on collection.)
- Request that you collect the suits at least two days before the wedding day. If you collect them the night before and by the time you get home, it might be too late to exchange.
- Get your bridal party to try on shoes, trousers, shirts, cufflinks, every last clip should be fastened before the eve of your wedding!
