how would you dress two boys (6 and 3) for a wedding?

[IAmBooyhoo]

we never get the opportunity to dress up so i would like to get them something really nice but have no clue what would suit or be too much etc.

where shold i look and what sort of thing should i look for? both boys are blonde with blue eyes. 6 year old is short, dirty fair hair and 3 year old has long curly really blonde hair. 6 year old is quite skinny. 3 year old not skinny but not quite fitting 3 year old clothes height wise.

TIA

Agree with others about the chinos / shirt / pullover suggestions. H&M have nice cotton shirts, as do Gap. John Lewis also a good bet, depends on budget.

Jones do boat shoes (both laces and Velcro) but you might need a bigger branch. I ended up getting DS (6) a pair of canvas lace ups (Converse style) to go to DD's christening. I didn't think I'd like them with the smart outfit, but they were a bit funky and he'll get lots of use out of them in summer.

ceeeegeebies. that would have been a it embarssing. but not your fault!!

i'm wondering if i should email the B&G and ask what the dresscode is for their wedding.

i'm struggling to find jumpers/tank tops to suit. i've tried, gap, m&s, monsoon, next, h&m. any other suggestions of where to look?

Although seeing the name Elvis has made me think....

Imagine two tiny Elvises (elvi?) jump suited up like Vegas Elvis at a wedding
Fantastic

@ elvi

i will check but i dont think the dresscode is fancy dress.

No one will care. Put them in whatever

Have you tried Zara? Lovely boys clothes there.

thanks untamedshrew

MsNorbury. you are aware this is the style and beauty section?

noooooo. you're all wrong. There is only one way to dress little boys for weddings and is <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?start=45&num=10&hl=en&biw=1092&bih=514&tbm=isch&tbnid=NwBjRuxDpBYdEM:&imgrefurl=www.kiltrentalusa.com/rent-your-kilt/kids-packages/kids-formal-kilt-package.html&docid=qto66Zu6ww_JhM&imgurl=c808077.r77.cf2.rackcdn.com/catalog/product/cache/1/image/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/k/i/kids-kilt-outfit-small-2.jpg&w=500&h=790&ei=m7WET9r3BaPC0QXl3bXTBw&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=450&sig=114857164073484842903&page=4&tbnh=155&tbnw=106&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:45,i:94&tx=67&ty=74" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this.

I always dress mine in some dark trousers that aren't jeans.... then either a really nice polo shirt of maybe a cotton shirt. Non trainers shoes. TBH no one will really care too much, so wouldn't spend a fortune if I were you.

aaahhhhhhh!!! that is so cute.

Like missgreatbritain, I likethe linen long shorts, grandad shirt, waistcoat or jacket. My DS wore a brown knit tank over white grandad collar shirt, linen shorts and jacket (all vertbaudet) to a wedding last year at 2.5. He looked adorable.
He'll be wearing the same again this summer.

I'm putting my 4 year old in a kilt for family wedding this summer. (Will hire not buy)

How about this www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/sp+elephant-print-nehru-shirt+B5349?tyah=y with some blue chinos?

These tank tops are lovely too:

schmaffy those tops are gorgeous. i like the elephant print one for ds2.

Thank you! Have to admit am eyeing it up for DS for a wedding this summer as well....

shirt

trousers

accessories

shoes

This is what I would (and have done!) But then I'm not a S&B regular and this may not be 'cool'!

Personally, I'd dress them in kilts.
