JON PAUL FORMAL MENSWEAR

Tailored to Requirements – As Seen On Don’t Tell The Bride

With the modern bridegroom becoming more style conscious, Jon Paul menswear offers extensive formal wear hire packages to cater for each individual budget. From getting married, to attending a wedding or going to a formal evening or school prom. From our collection you are sure to find the perfect outfit for your special occasion.

TRADITIONAL WEDDING SUITS

Our traditional men’s wedding suits are designed specifically for stylish and formal wedding themes. Grooms traditionally wear morning suits, with black traditionally a popular choice. We pride ourselves on the tailored fit of our traditional wedding suits, which guarantee a handsome, yet formal look, on your big day.

HEADS OR TAILS

With the rapid change in fashions and trends, and lets face it more style-aware men, the morning suit has been ‘adapted’ in a variety of colours & styles. The move away from tradition has meant that men are able to exercise their sense of style.

Here are a few tips to help you look extra dapper and stamp your own look on your special day:

1 – Take into consideration the time of day you are getting married, you will definitely look like John Travolta’s cousin if you wear a white suit for your evening ceremony. The same can be said for wearing a tuxedo to a midday wedding!

2 – The time of year is also very important; choose warmer colours for a winter wedding. Maybe a burgundy pocket square to set off a sharp navy suit and consider a lighter suit for the summer months… are you brave enough to wear pastels?

3 – The fit (this is integral across the board). Make sure the suit is tailored to you, spend that little bit extra and get your suit altered, the wedding photos/memories will be all the better for it.

4 – Add your own personal touch, how about matching trainers for the groomsmen or a playful bow-tie matching the colour scheme.

5 – Don’t forget the shoes, treat yourself to a new pair and remember… no white socks!!

CHILDREN’S SUITS

Children belong at weddings, who else will slide across the dance floor on their knees on more than one occasion? Our Children’s range allow the perfect blend of styles to match whilst being comfortable throughout.

INVOLVING THE CHILDREN

You’ll need to think about how your child will be throughout the day. For lots of children they are involved in the ceremony so its asked that they wear the correct attire to match the theme. However once the photographs are taken, help them enjoy the day by de-cluttering remaining smart and respectful whilst being able to move about. 

Avoid tight-fitting clothes. You can still keep kids stylish with a loose fit. Kids move around a lot, dancing and playing with other children and a little wiggle room is always better. Kids grow fast so there will be more opportunities to wear these clothes. 

Leave layers for another time. Kids will need frequent toilet breaks (especially younger children). Layers can be cumbersome and make them hot and irritable.

With shoes, keep it simple, If their feet get sore, don’t be surprised if you find their shoes in a corner.

Our Bars


‘Frenchie’ the Horsebox

‘Frenchie’ is an original Rice Beaufort Horse Trailer. We pulled him out of a field after he had been sat there for 15 years and began the task of restoring him. Unlike many similar restorations, we have tried to keep as much of the original Rice parts on him as possible, to keep him as authentic and close to the day he was made, with our own spin on it obviously!

Following the restoration, we converted him into a bar using reclaimed wood for the bar areas and gave him a unique ‘Steampunk’ paint job, quite unlike any other Horsebox bar out there.

‘Frenchie’ is fully equipped with a triple bar fridge and a full draught dispense cellar, which enables him to pour up to 4 ice cold products from his chrome pipe bridge font.

 

Stand alone Bars

Our stand alone bar is constructed from reclaimed timbers and is 2.5m in length, or can be extended to 5m in length for bigger events.

Our standalone bar also benefit from our impressive chrome shipping pipe bridge font, which can pour up to 4 ice cold draught products.

Mini Bar

Our mini bar is a 1.5 metre bar on wheels. The mini bar can pour up to 2 ice cold draught products and is available staffed or as dry hire, with or without kegs.

Our mini bar also comes with a 1.5m wheeled back bar, for storing and preparing spirits, wines and other drinks.

 

Ice cream Tricycle Bar

Our ice cream tricycle bar is a lovingly restored 3 wheeler. The bar benefits from a bar unit which is capable of pouring 1 ice cold draught product through the unique steel shipping pipe font and is available staffed or as dry hire

The Trike bar comes with a free standing ice box for keeping other drinks ice cold
