A Groom’s Guide to Buying the Perfect Wedding Suit

A Guide to Buying a Wedding Suit

Over the years as tailors, we have crafted many wedding suits some with ample time for customisation and others under tight deadlines. We have worked with grooms who have a clear vision and those who seek guidance. To make the process smoother, here are three fundamental aspects to consider before your initial meeting with your tailor.

A Guide to Buying a Wedding Suit - Fielding & Nicholson Tailoring

Shape and Style

The first step in selecting your wedding suit is deciding on the shape and style that best suits your personality and wedding theme. The most popular choice among grooms is a classic three-piece suit, offering a refined look while allowing flexibility and when the jacket comes off for dancing, the waistcoat maintains the elegance.

However, there are plenty of alternatives to explore. You might prefer a double-breasted jacket for a vintage touch, pleated trousers for added comfort, or an unstructured summer suit for a relaxed yet sophisticated vibe. It helps to research different styles and bring visual references to your consultation.

    Get a Shirt or Suit That Fits Just Right

    Off-the-rack clothes never fit quite right. Our tailors make sure your suit or shirt is made just for you, so you look and feel your best.

    Colour

    Your wedding’s colour scheme may influence your suit choice, but you are not bound to match it precisely. Instead, consider complementary or tonal hues that blend harmoniously with the theme. Alternatively, if you want to make a statement, opt for a completely unique colour that stands out.

    A great way to refine your choice is by bringing a colour palette to your consultation—one that resonates with both you and your significant other. This will help your tailor recommend fabric options that align with your vision.

      Made-to-Measure, Made for You

      Why settle for a bad fit? We create tailored clothing that matches your style and shape perfectly. No guesswork, just great-fitting clothes.

      Formality

      The level of formality at your wedding significantly impacts your suit selection. If you are hosting a black-tie event, the colour palette naturally narrows to classic black, white, or dark velvet tuxedos. For a traditional wedding, morning dress with a top hat and tails could be the perfect choice. On the other hand, if you’re planning an informal or destination wedding, lightweight linen suits or relaxed unstructured tailoring may be more appropriate.

      Preparing for Your Consultation

      You don’t need to have every detail finalised before meeting your tailor. Bringing along some inspiration, whether that is images of styles you admire, colour swatches, or a general vision of your wedding theme and will give your tailoring consultant a solid foundation. Their expertise will guide you through fabric choices, cuts, and designs that align with your preferences, helping you make the best decision for your special day.

      By considering these elements in advance, you’ll be well-prepared to create a wedding suit that perfectly reflects your style, enhances your confidence, and ensures you look your best on one of the most memorable days of your life.

      Clothes That Feel as Good as They Look

      A well-made suit or shirt should be comfortable and stylish. We’ll help you find the perfect fabric, fit, and design to suit your lifestyle.
