When wearing a tux, is it a must to wear a double cuff shirt? Hate cuff links and much prefer buttoned cuffs.

can't find any info on this on their website San, deets?
Announced that they had opened this weekend so maybe pop down and take a look if in the area, if not contact via [email protected] for any queries. More of a relaxed silhouette which suits my style plus the guys are safe.
Turnaround was 3 months but now they have a store here so may now be shorter.

P Johnson Tailors have now opened a new store on 64 Dean Street.
Dependent on quality of materials then you could get a made to measure for around the £1k mark and would be good lightweight choice.

Gonna stick with double cuff, invested in a set of cufflinks now as well - https://www.mrporter.com/en-gb/mens/mulberry/silver-plated-mother-of-pearl-cufflinks/718718?ppv=2
For shoes, can i get these - https://www.mrporter.com/en-gb/mens/churchs/dubai-polished-leather-oxford-shoes/629145?ppv=2
Or do i really need to go for the patent leather option? I'm thinking if I get the above I can wear them more often, patent shoes are pretty much Tux occassion only in my eyes.

Depends what your black tie event is. 99% of people can't be fucked with the "full" "correct" rig so you probably won't stand out in black oxfords unless you're going to DavCam's birthday party or an Eton reunion or something.
That said, I feel like I recall "binder leather" being shit? And what you want to go for is "calf leather"
Shouldn't cost any more than those Churchs.

I got some Herring in corrected grain / polished for £120.
Binder leather from Church's is their version of corrected-grain leather. Definitely below calf, which I would have thought would be what you would want for your wedding? Obviously Church's binder wont be crap, and will have a higher shine, but wont polish up like calf if damaged. They may be uncomfortable / inflexible for a while as well. It wont generally wear or get a nice patina.
I think the advantage is that it is slightly more weatherproof.
I recommend Herring though, would happily buy a pair of the ones I have in calf as my best pair - I think all made in England are done by Loake and they come with shoebags, polish etc.

I have a pair of herring calf leather which I also recommend.
I have a pair of patent leather shoes for my black tie stuff but they're Sanders eBay specials, depending on how much time you have left you could get lucky. Personally can't afford spending more than a hundred on shoes that only get worn once in a blue moon but if it's your wedding and an evening event, then maybe it'd be worth it.
A compromise could be a wholecut shoe like http://www.herringshoes.co.uk/product-info.php?colset=1&styleid;=940&shoeid;=3120&brandid;=6&catid;=42&oldcolid;=1692&stype;=0&colourid;=1693
Maybe a bit more eveningwear style, but still could probably work during the day or in less formal set ups (unlike patent leather which only really works in black tie situations)

They don't make their own shoes. The different lines are made by various Northampton factories such as Cheaney, Loake, Alfred Sargent etc. and Herring branding applied.
Cheaper lines are made elsewhere in European.
I'd recommend their premier line. They are made to the same spec and same quality leather and in the same factory as similiar models made by the aforementioned makes but for a lesser price.

Grey on grey not so good, blue on blue is fine, blue over grey and vice versa
Navy without a doubt will be your safest and more versatile option.
Navy shades can vary depending on cloth type. Personally It's all about texture, mix the texture and get a different shade of navy compared to the suit and your golden. Flannel wool single breast overcoat will work with greys, charcoals and blue variants.
I have a Caruso per Trunk navy and grey overcoat they do each year and for me its the ideal top layer over suits. Mix the fabric textures and you will be fine.
