i just wanted to share what we found today and how we found it :-)

 

So, I planned to have FI wear a tan/beige suite for the Wedding. The Groomsmen were going to wear their own Kahkis and I bought them white linen Guayaberas. The ring bearer was wearing a Linen Suit (Tan) that i bought from Childrens place and a White Guayabera, from Old Navy.

Anyway...I bought all this stuff for the Groomsmen and Ring bearer thinking we can just go out one day and get FI's suit..No big deal.

WELL...We went out today.

Apparently it's really simple to find a tan/beige suite..Even a Linen one...If your not a Big guy :-(

FI needs a Size 54 or 56 suit Jacket, and in Tan, It was impossible to find!!! We went to at least 5 stores in Jersey today.

We started at K&G in Deptford and they had such nice Suits and reasonable prices...But eveything we liked, it didnt come in FI's size :-(

I was really aggravated!!

Finally, after 4 hours of shopping and no luck, we went back to K&G...We found this suit Jacket that he loved and it fit...But there wasnt a matching pair of pants for it..So we decide we are going to "make" a suit....I gotta say, we brought it together pretty well...But it just wasn't what I pictured. And I hated that the pants where darker then the Jacket..Even if the Tie brought it all together, it just wasnt working for me.

FI's mom was buying him the Suit so she was with us and she really wanted that "fake" suite to work!! LOL

Anyway, after running back and forth grabbing different sizes while FI was in the dressing room, I saw that they had linen short sleeve button down shirts and linen pants (they had a draw string, but also buttoned) in a bunch of colors.

I grabbed a white shirt and pants and told FI to humor me and try it on.....

He did and it looked pretty good. But I wasn't thrilled with him wearing all white, like me...LOL

So i grabbed a black Linen shirt go with it and Damn, it looked really good!! It was very beachy, but still classy. And most of all FI was so comfortable and happy. I could definitely picture him in that outfit on our Wedding day :-)

We found him a pair of Black shoes that really made the outfit and we were good to go.

The linen outfits there are really nice and pretty cheap! The pants were $25 and the shirt was $20 or $25 (can't remember)

Thy are perfect for a DW wedding. They had Black, White, Tan, Blue, & Orange. They also had Linen Suits in Tan and White that were really nice...Perfect actually, but I think the biggest jacket size was a 50. However, if your FI is smaller then mine, they would really be great for a DW wedding! :-)

So now, FI is wearing his Black shirt and White pants...We changed the Groomsmens outfits up..LOL

We bought them Black Linen pants to go with their White Linen Guayaberas and our Ring Bearer is still going to wear the White shirt and tan pants, but no Suit jacket. Him and the Flower girl are going to lok fabulous together!! :-)

 

Anyway...I really just wanted to share my finds with you all tonight!!

There are a couple of K&G's in Jersey (Deptford and Cherry Hill) I think there is one in Northeast Philly and I think even king of Prussia. I'm really not sure about other states, but it's definitely worth a look.

 

I will post pics when I do my planning thread in June...I am trying not to post all of my pics until then (Except for my Dress, which has been on here both times..LOL)

 

Happy Shopping Ladies :)

My FI has the same problem. He wears a 52L suit. We've gotten sport coats for him at K&G before. Everything else has come from online. Ebay is a good place to look. For the wedding we ordered from Studiosuits.com, Custom Suits | Designer Suits. They do custom linen suits for $99. We want to see the quality first before we tell all the groomsmen to order but, hopefully it'll work out!

We went looking ALL over the place to find FI's attire. We ended up at Torre in Philly where he was able to find a white linen suit in his size (58L) for $179.99!!!! Because the suit was over $100, they gave us $30 off!!! We were so excited. We also purchased shoes from him there (Stacy Adams). Now, we just need to figure out what the guys will wear and what shirt the FI will wear and we are all set!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
