I need some Trinny & Suzannah type help!
 

Won't bore you all with all the details, but I have been married 10 years in April and Mrs.H has been on at me for ages for us two to leave the kids with grandparents and go for a week away. I agreed and we are all booked...

However now she wants to renew our vowels, fair enough, but right now she is sitting on the other settee looking at dresses etc (at least I'd bet she is as she didn't want me next to her), so she will be looking stunning.

That's why I need the help, clearly I want to look good too, but have to pay for the holiday so need to do it on a budget and I need some help!

okay what kind of look are you hoping for? I`m assuming you mean clothing? if so what about hiring a suit... where would you be renewing your vows? this could dictate the look you want to go for

Re: I need some Trinny & Suzannah type help!
 

As claire said what type of look do you want?

Drew hired a suit for our wedding that cost £80 for the weekend (collected Thursday and took back monday, wedding was saturday)

When he went to the shop I didn't want to go with him as I wanted his outfit to be a surprise like mine was to him. He has said the woman there made him try on every different suit they had and helped find the best one for him

erm, want to look cool, although it's two days after I run the London Marathon so tracksuit bottoms would be great.

Seriously though we will be in the sun, probably on a beach.

come on girls - help!

Re: I need some Trinny & Suzannah type help!
 

linen trousers and a shirt with flip flops?

Re: I need some Trinny & Suzannah type help!
 

Speedos

Re: I need some Trinny & Suzannah type help!
 

Kilt...

Always a great pulling tool..

But you shouldn't need it for that reason...

Re: I need some Trinny & Suzannah type help!
 

As said above a linen suit or something like that. Not cheap but look ok, as long as you dont sit down before hand!

Re: I need some Trinny & Suzannah type help!
 

White shirt, one of the collarless ones, linen 3 quarters, some brown flip flops. £100 max.

Re: I need some Trinny & Suzannah type help!

Having your bike serviced, buying a balde :wink:, holiday, renewing vowels, house

You won the lottery?

Re: I need some Trinny & Suzannah type help!
 

I`d go with the cream/beige linen pants and the same colour in a shirt either collarless or with collar and flip flops or bare feet if it`s on the sand. Has to be the only type of wear for a beach wedding and you`d both look and feel cool. If you didn`t feel smart enough you could add a waistcoat :D

Re: I need some Trinny & Suzannah type help!
 

Abroad, she wouldn't agree to Camber Sands despite weeks of trying.

Antigua.

Being a short little fatty linen suits don't tend to look that great, which is my worry.

Re: I need some Trinny & Suzannah type help!
 

Something along the lines of this look would be great...........

I got hitched in Portugal wearing a traditional morning suit. It was 40 degrees that day. I suffered. (for several years).
You can borrow it if you like ;)

Re: I need some Trinny & Suzannah type help!
 

Don't wear all white. Pale linen trousers and a white collarless shirt, plus bare feet. And get yourself a nice haircut too.

Re: I need some Trinny & Suzannah type help!
 

Where abouts in Antigua, I lived out there for a while and my parents were out there for 3 years.

Saw many weddings taking place on the beach, and as suggested, men were in light weight clothing.

Try to avoid re-newing your vows in the mid day sun!

Re: I need some Trinny & Suzannah type help!
 

I think St.Johns?

Right managed to get a beige linen suit, with turquoise shirt. Looked ok and got the thumbs up from 9 year old daughter, who helped me choose. Sorted...

Erm, actually no got home tried it all on and the bloody trousers are labelled up wrong, the actual label inside is 30, maybe 12 years ago, but now I am a 32. Easy to solve...

Wrong again, they are end of line and there is no 32 in stock (it was a bargain)...so what now?

I have looked inside the trousers and I reckon I could get them let out by almost 2" all through the seat, but I don't know if that will work.

Who'd have thought it would be so hard?

One more question, I am informed the dress is gold, so will turquoise be an issue?
