Help needed for Mens outfits in Turkey!

bananabump · Mar 19th, 2012, 11:06 AM

Helloooo!

I'm getting married in Turkey in October

Pretty much everything is sorted but I'm really struggling to decide what my OH, his best man and 3 ushers should wear and also where to buy/hire it from!

At first I was thinking grey suit trousers, waistcoat, white shirt, coloured tie and god knows what shoes?! Does that soud ok or too over the top for the heat? Any ideas what shoes would be best?

Has anyone had/having a wedding abroad who could give me some ideas and some places to have a browse please?

Thanks in advance!!! xxxx

My men are wearing mohair silk trousers (more lightweight), shirt, cravat & waistcoat. The trousers are a light grey, we've yet to choose the waistcoats but the cravats will be royal blue. What time are you getting married?

And I've not even thought about shoes, but will prob go for normal black formal shoes that they'd wear here

Think flip flops would ruin the look!!!

Looking for the proper way to choose your wedding attire Time, place and formality are the driving forces behind the wedding suit. I would recommend you a black tuxedo; white shirt, vest, and bow tie is the best classic groom ensemble for a formal nighttime affair.

I don't know much about the suits (sorry) but I just wanted to say, I went to turkey in October, we checked the weather for that week and the temperature said pretty much normal sunshine, when we arrived there was a heatwave, I know that might not be the case for you but be prepared for some possible stripping! What you suggested sounds fine to be honest, definitely white shirts, and maybe see if you can find some nice smart shoes with air holes in so the feet don't get too sweaty! Failing that, sandals and socks?
