Suits without waistcoats

I thought it looked really good to! I liked the whole look of the wedding! I think you can go normal or skinny ties - as long as skinny works on the men, I find some men can't pull it off (my boy included)

You don't have to have waistcoasts. Me, best man, ringbearer and father of the bride had matching ones (only because we ordered mine the wrong size and it fitted her dad so we kept it rather than sent it back) but the ushers and other men of the bridal party didn't have waistcoasts - just matching ties.

Either option are perfectly acceptable IMO.

All of us bear witness to the dissolution of our piece of creation. Only the novelist can restore to us, in the miracle of ink that pours itself like blood onto paper, the lineaments of our lost worlds, alive.

There certainly is nothing wrong with wearing a two piece suit (a slim tie is better in my opinion but it depends on the guys figures).

There are a few things to be aware of though. If and when the guys decide to take off their jackets, it does look rather un-tidy. Shirts becoming un-tucked whilst dancing etc.

Also some of the guys may wear suits for work. In which case they are not going to feel very special or "wedding-y"

There is also a danger that the Grooms party will blend in with other guests and not look very different or special. They may even look under-dressed in comparison to some guests who have gone down the 3.piece suit option.

I know alot of people are not keen on the whole wedding waistcoat option (colored/patterns/swirly designs) but a 3.piece suit with a matching waistcoat could be a compromise.

Obviously all of that is dependant on your type of wedding.

I hope that helps some,

None of our wedding party had waistcoats. Just lounge suits and regular ties:

IMO - have to be waistcoats, I wouldnt want that 'at work' feel, its my wedding day and with the bride looking as lovely as she will, I want to make every effort as well !

I think it's fine to wear just jackets, if it's a smart suit it will look lovely anyway.

My OH is actually thinking that he will have the waistcoat and no suit jacket, it'll probably be too warm for a jacket though.

I think it depends on what type of suit they're wearing. To me, a morning suit needs a waistcoat, but a lounge suit doesn't.

My OH is wearing a 3 piece suit, having the waist coat matching the jacket and trousers instead of the usual coloured waistcoat as he really doesnt like that look.

We cant really afford to pay for suits for the Ushers though so we are going to ask them to wear their own suits and get them a tie to match the bridal party

I like this idea!

I'm thinking, 3-piece matching suits for groom, best man and father of the bride. Then normal 2-piece suits for the ushers with matching ties!
