For the Groom
Attention All Grooms – today is your lucky day – we have decided to dedicate this newsletter to you! We have asked a variety of Groom Related Wedding Service Providers for their input to ensure you are equipped with the best information to make the correct choices!
Bachelors Parties:
Paintball! Quads!!!! Zip lines!!!
At last - bachelors have the opportunity to get dirty, shoot each other with guns and play army! With different scenarios we make it interesting for the guys; we also offer ‘braai’ facilities. To top it off – they have the opportunity to shoot the bachelor – which we like to call “the turkey run”!
Besides paintball; the quad-bikes as well as zip lines are very popular amongst the guys.
Guys – now you have the opportunity to also showcase some Bling! Bulli Bling creates Crystal Rhinestone encrusted t-shirts for your Bachelors Party! Examples of this are: Ball & Chain In The Making, Almost Hitched, Fun Times Ahead, Soon To Be Mr & Mrs Smith to only name a few. Why don’t you add a funny logo, image or wording to you or your friend’s shirt?

The Most Requested Dance from Wedding Couples:
In most cases, couples choose a song which has a special meaning to them or represents a certain message – generally these are slow, more intimate songs – showcasing their love and passion for one another. The Rumba or Bolero beat are favourable choices with regards to this – it’s also relatively easy to teach.

- When looking for a suit, a groom must know what the color and theme of the wedding is, it is also important to know the venue as this determines the colour of the suit. Stone is best suited for a Winelands wedding.
- A groom should choose a suit that compliments his body (what looks good on Brad Pitt does not always look good on you). He should feel comfortable in what he wears.
- Italian cut suits are the must wear suit for this season, it compliments all body types.
- Dove grey is the IT color; it works with most color combinations and is an alterative to the traditional black suit which South African men are very fond of.

Top Tips:
- Slim Fit is definitely the way to go if you are a slim to average sized person.
- The Shawl Lapel is also starting to become very popular, paired with a Skinny Tie or Cravat.
- Pay attention to the Lapel when designing your Lapel. Two-Tone, Contrasting Lapels are becoming quite popular.
- Silk Wool blends are very popular for Man of the Moment suits. The Pure Silk in the fabric gives the suit an extra shine.

- Metalic Blue, Silver and Black are all very much in fashion

- Online shopping for the groom’s band is a growing trend. The bride-to-be is certainly the one who seems to spend the time surfing the internet looking for designs and making enquiries.
- The styling trend is a band of 5 to 6mm wide with a comfort fit and either D shape or flat.
- Textured surface is still very popular.
- The more adventurous and stylish trend is the diamond enhanced band for a bit of ‘bling.’
- Hilligers has a comprehensive selection of bands, but we are very happy to discuss personalized designs.
