FASHION T PLAY A BLINDER ON YOUR BIG DAY Paul Smith of Teesside’s award- winning Bakers Tailoring on the latest wedding fashions Tel 01642 936035 Linthorpe Road, Middlesbrough, TS1 3RB www.bakerstailoring.co.uk 42 ake a sneaky Peaky at the suits that are now all the rage for couples who want to make a real statement on their big day. Brides and grooms are increasingly plumping for themed weddings, with Winter Wonderland and Rustic Farm both proving popular, along with those taking inspiration from the hit 1920s TV drama Peaky Blinders. All of these themes lend themselves to tweed for the groom and his best men, whether it be a full tweed suit or accessories of tweed, such as waistcoats and neckwear. And then there are more traditional weddings where more often than not grooms are opting for a more classic look of traditional tails but worn in a more contemporary way. Key accessories include double-breasted shawl collar waistcoats and Liberty print ties matching the bridesmaids’ dresses or the colour theme of the wedding.   At Bakers Tailoring, we know these two looks can be combined to give your traditional wedding a more modern vibe by mixing tails with tweed.  One of our most popular options is navy tails with our grey tweed waistcoat, which has a two- tone pink over check - ideal for those going with nude blush or rose gold themes. This also looks great with a number of neckwear options, such as a plain antique rose tie, Liberty print or even a tweed bow tie. Whichever look you’re thinking of, we can achieve it at Bakers Tailoring. Tails, tweed, classic contemporary or modern - nowhere else will you find a choice as large as we can offer.
