Re: Urgent Advice please
For a wedding? No! We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Ornate waistcoats are traditional.

The aren't really. They may have become popular amongst certain types but they aren't traditional. You can wear a striped or coloured waistcoat with a morning suit, but that's about it. Anything else is naff.

What sort of wedding are you anticipating?
The Graduate? The Invention of Lying? Bridesmaids? Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves?

Cobblers. That's an 18th century waistcoat, how much more traditional do you want?

Yes, if you are in the 18th century and wearing the complete outfit. Not with a lounge suit.

So they are traditional. And lounge suit + lairy waistcoat isn't new. Its a wedding, you're meant to dress up. If you can pull it off, do it.

It's a question of taste. Some have it. Some obviously don't.
