Sand Coloured Trousers / Waistcoats??

snow bride, 25 June, 2014 at 11:32 Posted on Planning 0 4

So we're having a budget wedding but due to large family / social circle we're trying to prove that you can have all the bells and whistles of a big wedding on a budget!

We had planned for the men to all wear their own suits and we just provide them with matching ties (we have 9 - Yes NINE! - men in suits...) to keep costs down.

But then I stupidly looked on Pinterest and have fallen in love with this!

We're having a summer laid back wedding and this would suit us perfect!

I initially thought we could do it with pale grey waistcoats and trousers from Primark (dirt cheap = gooood) but we now both really like the sand coloured suits!

But I've looked everywhere! (debenhams, moss, house of fraser, matalan, next, m & s) and there just doesn't seem to be sand coloured suits around. We don't want a jacket, just the trousers and waistcoat.

Has anyone seen any?

And I'm assuming I'm completely pushing my luck to see if anyone has seen them in teeny sizes? (2-3 years and 3-4 years, lol).

Thanking you in advance Smiley smile

    Next have some trousers & waistcoates for £35 each in a light stone colour. They look ok on the website so might be worth a look.

    That's a shame they're not the right colour. Can you not ask if they'd be willing to contribute so you get a better quality that they will be able to wear again?

    I got the m&s outfit for my pageboy!
    Our groomsmen got their waistcoats from river island, now £28 ( http://www.riverisland.com/men/suits/waistcoats/White-slim-waistcoat-278381 ) but are wearing with chinos (£20 from next).
    Zara do a linen suit too. I really struggled to find his colour, drove me mad!!
    You can see pics of the groomsmen outfits in my planning thread in my signature below xx
