FINALLY!!! After two failed attempts, we managed to finally attend our appointment with Peppers Formal Wear in Double Bay on Saturday.

At Peppers, you walk in and you are served by one of four assistants who takes your name and the date of your wedding before having a chat about the theme of the wedding; casual, semi-formal, formal etc then they measure you, get you a shirt (there are different shirts of course but they tend to give you the popular one with the square wing collars) and pants and off you go. They recommend different waist coats, tie/bow tie/cravat and jackets to suit the needs of the couple. I must say, given we’ve not really thought much about this we were very good at it (took us all but half an hour to get both the groom and groomsmen sorted!!). Or maybe the guy who served us was very good ;p

I don’t want to ruin the surprise for you folks, but I can tell you we have gone with something very classic and simple. Ben will match me as well match with his groomsmen. The groomsmen will likewise match the bridesmaids. Oh and Ben looks very handsome heheh.. well, at least slim LOL…

Booking a must for Thursday evenings and Saturdays.
Peppers recommend couples go in three months prior to the wedding to test drive some suits and get them ready for the big day. Having said that, they’ve also said it’s very rare that they run out of suits for hire! I guess everyone has different needs.
