For my bestie Paula&#8217;s wedding, I was part of her bridal party and I thought of only one place where I would get my suit and that was iTailor.com. For my own wedding just over two years ago I had a three piece baby blue suit ( trousers, waistcoat, jacket) made to measure for a bargain of \u20ac190. It was so easy to simply follow the instructions of the measurements and away you go!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-30394 aligncenter\" title=\"Material Boy &amp; hubby PJ\" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-ie.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2015\/08\/blogger-image-19381629.jpg\" alt=\"Material Boy &amp; hubby PJ\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/blogger-image-19381629.jpg 640w, https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/blogger-image-19381629-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/blogger-image-19381629-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/blogger-image-19381629-315x315.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30400 aligncenter\" title=\"Material Boy\" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-ie.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2015\/08\/blogger-image-1056118946.jpg\" alt=\"Material Boy\" width=\"412\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/blogger-image-1056118946.jpg 412w, https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/blogger-image-1056118946-193x300.jpg 193w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 412px) 100vw, 412px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is so much fun as you can decide on any pattern, colour, button, inside lining and even have your own personal engraving on the inside of the jacket. So of course this is where I shopped again for Paula&#8217;s wedding and as seen in the above photo you can read the engraving especially designed for Bridesman David Babington.
