Most guys are not the best of shoppers at the best of times and so now is the time when you should be paying special attention to what is going on, as we are about to make your life very easy with these fantastic tips....
1
Set a realistic budget and stick to it.
2
Start your shopping around early, especially if you are having garments made or altered. Most tailors require a lot of warning and alterations take time.
3
DO NOT rush in to anything! Read lots of magazines and ask friends and those who are in the know for advice.
4
Do not go for tight fitting wedding clothes, they may look cool, but they will be pretty uncomfortable for the reception.
5
Ask your bride for details on her dress, so you can co-ordinate the look.
6
Dinner shirts and black ties are normally reserved for formal evening weddings.
7
Morning suits are usually black for the morning and grey for the afternoon.
8
On some complexions an ivory shirt can look better than a white one.
9
Wash and iron your shirt the day before so you do not end up with fold marks and creases.

10
Trousers should be the right length - not too short and not too long. Jacket sleeves should allow for one centimetre of the shirt to be seen.
11
Buy your shoes one month before the wedding and wear them in, as blisters are not the best accompaniment to your first dance.
12
Always leave the bottom button of your waistcoat undone.
13
If you are wearing a traditional morning suit, only the groom and best man are supposed to wear cravats. The other groomsmen and fathers should wear ties.
14
If you are wearing a kilt, forget tradition - undergarments are usually worn these days.
15
Your buttonhole should match the flowers of your brides bouquet.
16
Have a professional shave and manicure the morning of your wedding.
