Style, Fit and Fabric: Picking Your Wedding Suit

The fit of your suit is as important as the style when it comes to feeling confident and making a lasting impression as you exchange vows.

A perfect and well-tailored suit will define your silhouette, improve your posture and comfort, whether you are in the ceremony or reception. It has become a routine for grooms to go for custom tailoring to ensure a true personal touch. With wedding suits Blandin & Delloye, you are sure of bespoke craftsmanship that fulfills your preferences. Custom-fit suits ensure that every detail is personalised and align with your style and vision, from jacket length to selecting the right lapel.

Choosing the appropriate fabric plays an essential role in ensuring the elegance and comfort of your wedding attire. For instance, tweed or wool materials are perfect for cooler months, while cotton or linen (lightweight materials) work well for warm-weather weddings. Customised suits pay special attention to subtle details like patterned lining, contrast stitching and monogrammed initials, adding a flair to the overall look without overwhelming it. You can add more personalisation to your style with accessories like cufflinks, ties and pocket squares. Carefully selecting every element creates a suit that tells your story and matches the wedding theme through design.

Factors to Consider When Selecting Your Wedding Suit

There are several factors to weigh when selecting your wedding suit to look your best, feel comfortable and boost your confidence during the celebration.

Comfort and Fit

Fit is everything. No matter how expensive or luxurious your suit fabric is, a poorly fitting suit will undermine your look. Regardless of whether it is a regular, slim or bespoke fit, the final adjustment by the tailor can make all the difference. To ensure the fitness is right, you must sit, dance and move freely in your suit. It must look as good as it feels.

Wedding Venue, Theme and Season

Your suit choice depends largely on the timing and setting of your wedding. For example, a garden or beach wedding calls for a light and more relaxed fabric, while a classy style, such as tuxedos, fits a formal black-tie affair. Textured fabrics like flannel are perfect for rustic venues, whereas smoother, formal materials are for elegant venues.

Style and Colour

To portray timelessness, go for classic shades like black, navy or charcoal. Lighter colours like gray, beige or bolder options such as emerald green or burgundy offer modern flair. Consider the formality of your wedding day and select the right lapel, either shawl collar, peak or notch.

In a Nutshell

Choosing your wedding suit is about balancing your comfort, style and personal expression. Considering factors like venue, colour, fit and style ensures your look perfectly aligns with your special day. Remember, with quality tailoring and thoughtful choices, your suit will become more than just a wear; it will be something that reflects your personality and a statement of confidence.
