Boys' suits for weddings

Confirm current prices, delivery and stock at the retailer.

June–August is peak wedding season in the UK. Buy by early May.

Buying notes

  1. Match the wedding party palette, not just the other children. Ask the couple before you buy.
  2. For summer weddings a waistcoat and trousers over a shirt is cooler than a full jacket all day.
  3. Order 6–8 weeks before the day: little boys grow, and exchanges take time.
  4. A page-boy set with a proper waistcoat photographs far better than adding a tie to a school suit.

Frequently asked questions

What does a page boy wear in the UK?

Usually a waistcoat-and-trousers set or a full three-piece suit in the wedding colours, with a shirt and bow tie or long tie. Many families hire for older boys and buy for toddlers.

Hire or buy a boys’ wedding suit?

If the suit will only be worn once, hiring can undercut buying, but children often need the outfit twice (wedding plus a family event), and bought sets resell well. We compare prices in every occasion table.
