Here's how to dress the part

Whether you’re standing at the altar, beside it or celebrating from the crowd, the right suit starts with the setting. Every venue, season and dress code calls for a different approach to wedding style.

Black Tie

& Formal

A black tie wedding is all about refinement. It’s one of the few occasions where tradition still carries real weight, and getting it right is surprisingly simple. A well-cut tuxedo, a crisp white shirt and polished black shoes will always feel timeless. Keep the palette understated and let the quality of the tailoring do the talking.

STYLIST TIPS

  • Choose a satin peak or shawl lapel.
  • Pair with a crisp white dress shirt.
  • Opt for a black silk bow tie, not a long tie.
  • Wear patent or highly polished black dress shoes.

Beach

A beach wedding calls for a lighter, less formal take on the suit. Look for breathable cloth, softer construction and colours that belong by the coast, such as stone, sand, pale grey or washed blue. Keep the shirt crisp, the shoes polished and the accessories restrained. Relax the tailoring, not the standard.

STYLIST TIPS

  • Choose linen or lightweight cotton fabrics.
  • Wear an unstructured jacket for a relaxed feel.
  • Keep colours light with sand, beige or sky blue.
  • Finish with suede loafers or clean leather slip-ons.

Garden & Winery

Garden and winery weddings are the right setting to move beyond standard navy and charcoal. Olive, apricot and soft plum bring warmth and personality without feeling overdone. A three-piece suit is especially useful, keeping the look polished when the jacket comes off later in the day. Linen blends and lightweight wool add texture while still holding their shape from the ceremony through to dinner.

STYLIST TIPS

  • Think beyond navy. This is the setting for colour.
  • Don’t be afraid to lose the jacket after the ceremony.
  • Brown leather shoes are the best choice.
  • Open-weave fabrics breathe better on warmer days.

Contemporary

Contemporary weddings give you the freedom to take a more individual approach. Clean lines, modern silhouettes and richer tones create a look that feels current without chasing trends. Whether it’s a sharply tailored double-breasted suit, tonal separates or a modern take on classic tailoring, the focus is on expressing your personal style while remaining effortlessly refined.

STYLIST TIPS

  • Explore distinctive fabrics like seersucker or moleskin.
  • Don’t be afraid to challenge tradition. You do you.
  • Mix separates for a less classic approach.
  • A double-breasted jacket makes a modern statement.

FAQs

When should I start the Made-To-Measure process?

To ensure the perfect fit, we recommend visiting us at least eight weeks before your wedding. You'll have time to choose your fabrics, customise the details and complete any fittings or alterations.

When should I start if I am buying a ready-to-wear suit?

We recommend visiting us at least six weeks before your wedding. This allows time for two fittings, any required alterations and final refinements, ensuring your suit fits perfectly on the day.

Can you help dress the rest of the wedding party?

Yes. Our in-store style experts can help coordinate suits and outfits for groomsmen, fathers and other guests, creating a cohesive look while ensuring everyone feels comfortable and considered.

What if my size changes before the wedding?

It's common for your measurements to change in the lead-up to a wedding, so keep your final fitting close to the day. Most minor changes can be managed through alterations, while more significant changes may require a different size or garment.
