A Practical Guide to Boys’ Wedding Suit Fabrics, Fit & Maintenance

While shopping for boys’ suits, there are a few considerations to keep in mind. Of course, knowing the fabric’s type and fit tells you how comfortable the young wearer will be. But only by taking into account these characteristics alongside the suit’s maintenance and care would you get the most out of your investment. 

If you’re choosing a page boy suit, ring bearer outfit, junior groomsman suit, or an outfit for a young wedding guest, this post is for you. Our article focuses on the selection of the right fabric and fit with key maintenance tips that extend the suit's longevity and comfort. 

Boys Suit Fabrics Explained: What to Know Before Choosing 

Not all boys’ suits are created the same; the fabric’s fibres play a huge role in determining when it's worn as well as the structure and drape. We’ll dive into the most common suit fabrics to help you make smart choices.

Create a Knockout Directory Listing

Since we launched Tie The Knot Wedding Directory, we have picked up a lot of tips to help increase the SEO and online presence of our listed suppliers. A fair bit has changed since we first wrote this — couples don't just Google any more, they ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI Mode to recommend suppliers for them. So we've refreshed this guide for how search actually works now.

These tips will help even if you're not in the wedding industry.

Utilise the space you are given

Updated August 2026

Many directories offer a full page to your business, so use it!

The old advice was "a minimum of 300 words". That's no longer enough. Google has confirmed there is no word count ranking factor — but in practice, a thin listing gives search engines and AI assistants almost nothing to work with, and 300 words simply doesn't cover what a couple needs to know before they enquire.

Aim for 500–800 words.&nbs…

How to Turn Your Wedding Colour Palette into a Cohesive Floral Story

Guest Post by Flower Station

A wedding colour palette often starts with a collection of saved images: a bouquet, a dress detail, a tablescape or simply a shade you have always loved. The challenge is bringing those references together so they feel at home in the same celebration. Flowers are especially useful here. Through colour, shape and texture, they can connect the ceremony with the reception and give the whole day a clear visual identity. 

Flower Station has created bespoke wedding flowers since 2002. We begin each project by getting to know the couple, the atmosphere they have in mind and the practical shape of their day. From there, we develop a floral scheme that feels personal and works naturally within the venue. 

1. Begin With the Atmosphere 

During an initial consultation, we ask couples how they want the wedding to feel. Words such as romantic, joyf…

Wedding Guest Favours Your Guests Will Actually Love and Use 

So you’ve got nearly everything ready for your wedding. The last dress fitting went smoothly, the venue is all in place, and now you're just counting the days until your wedding and finishing off the finishing touches. This is where the topic of wedding favours usually comes into play. But you’ve been to many weddings before and seen many favours in your time, the good and the bad. Some weddings choose to go for the traditional sugared almond and metal key bottle openers; however, these usually end up in the bin, never to be seen again.  

Not only is this wasteful, but it's also a waste of your wedding budget, especially if there are a lot of guests attending your wedding. But with so many ideas scattered all over the internet and many of them not in budget or actually feasible, this part of your wedding planning can start to become unnecessary stress.&nbs…

How to Include Children in Your Wedding or Vow Renewal Ceremony

A wedding or vow renewal isn’t simply about two people making promises to one another. For many couples, it’s also about celebrating the family they have already created and sharing one of life’s most important moments with the people they love most.

Whether you’re including your own children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews or godchildren, giving children a role in your ceremony can add warmth, laughter and unforgettable memories. The key is to make them feel included without placing unnecessary pressure on them.

Choose a Role That Suits the Child

Not every child wants to walk down the aisle or stand in front of a crowd, and that’s perfectly okay.

Some children love being the centre of attention, while others are happiest holding a parent’s hand or helping quietly behind the scenes. Consider their age, personality and confidence before deciding how they’d like to be involved.

Traditional flower girls and page boys remain timeless c…

Simple & Inexpensive Winter Wedding Planning and Decor Ideas

One of the trickiest parts of planning a wedding is staying within budget — without your big day ever looking like it was done on a shoestring. The good news? You absolutely can style a beautiful winter wedding without spending a fortune. Budget decor can look every bit as stunning as the expensive version; you just need to know where to save and where a few clever touches go a long way.

Start by setting a clear budget. Then find suppliers who'll work with it rather than against it — if you're after affordable centrepieces, for example, have an honest chat with your decorator about cost-effective options. You'll be amazed what you can create with a little tissue-paper flower-making and a string of fairy lights.

From low-cost invitations to DIY décor, a winter dream wedding on a modest budget is entirely within reach. Here are some ideas to get you started.
