WOMEN’S WEDDING SUITS
Bridal suits, civil ceremony tailoring and guest outfits. Made to your measurements for the biggest day on the calendar.
Not every bride wants a dress. And not every wedding guest does either.
A tailored suit can look just as good at the altar or in the front row. It fits your body, not a shop dummy. It moves with you all day. It looks sharp in photos from every angle. And when the day is done, you will wear it again.
We make wedding suits for brides, guests, mothers of the bride, and the wider wedding party. Every piece is built to your size, in cloth you pick, with each detail matched to the day and the venue.
Consultations in our London showroom, at home, or by video. Fittings also held in Manchester, Zurich and New York.
BRIDAL SUITS
For brides who want tailoring, not a gown. Sharp, personal, and built to fit you from ceremony to last dance.
Why a Suit
More brides are picking suits, and the reasons are simple. A suit fits better. It is easier to move in. It looks great in photos. You do not need a team to get dressed. And it makes a statement. Walking in wearing a sharp white suit is a very different kind of entrance.
What we Make
We can build a two-piece in white or ivory wool, a three-piece with a waistcoat, a tux-style suit with satin lapels, or something lighter in linen or silk for a summer wedding abroad. You choose the cut, cloth, colour and every detail.
Some brides want a second look for the evening. We can do that too: a new jacket, a swap of trousers, or a fresh piece from scratch.
The Process
We suggest booking at least 12 weeks before the date. That gives time for cloth, cutting, two to three fittings, and any tweaks. If time is short, talk to us. We have done bridal suits in under three weeks.
Your tailor will walk you through it all. Never been to a tailor? That is fine. We will help you work out what suits your body, your venue, and how you want to feel.
WEDDING GUESTS AND MOTHERS OF THE BRIDE
A tailored outfit that fits the dress code, flatters your shape, and does not end up at the back of the wardrobe.
Why Tailored
Finding the right outfit as a guest or mother of the bride is harder than it sounds. Dress code, season, venue, and the unspoken rules all make it tricky. A tailored suit or pair of separates cuts through all of that. It fits. It works. And you can wear it again.
What Works
For a formal wedding, a suit in a rich colour like navy, forest green, or deep rose works well. For summer, a lighter cloth in a pastel or neutral keeps things fresh. For the mother of the bride, we often build a suit that fits with the wedding party without matching it exactly.
You do not need a full suit. A sharp blazer with trousers, or a waistcoat with a wide-leg trouser, can work just as well
Colour and Cloth
We carry wools, silks, and blends in colours well past navy and grey. Dusty pink, sage, lilac, cobalt, champagne and more. Your tailor will help match the cloth to the season, the venue, and your skin tone.
WEDDING PARTY AND BRIDESMAIDS
Coordinated tailoring for your bridesmaids, best women, or anyone standing beside you on the day.
Suits For The Wedding Party
Bridesmaids do not have to wear dresses. A set of matching suits or separates can look just as good. Everyone gets measured on their own, so nobody is stuck in a size that does not work for them. This works well for groups with very different body types.
How We Do It
We start with you and your vision. We set the cloth, colour, and overall style. Then we work with each person to get their fit right. Same cloth and same look, but each suit is cut to the person wearing it. The result is a group that looks sharp without looking like a uniform.
We handle groups of all sizes and work around different diaries and cities. Not everyone needs the same slot.
What To Expect
We suggest starting 10 to 12 weeks out. The first session is with the bride to set the tone. From there, we book each person in. Two to three fittings each is normal.
START WITH A CONVERSATION
Whether you have a clear vision or just know you do not want a dress, the first step is the same. Book a consultation and we will talk through the event, the dress code, and what will work for you. No pressure. Just an honest chat about how to make you look your best.
We see clients in London, Manchester, Zurich and New York. Home visits and video calls also available.
