When it comes to dressing for the most significant day of your life, the choice of attire is crucial. The debate between a wedding suit and a regular suit often leaves many grooms-to-be scratching their heads over the nuances that set these two apart. We’re going to break it down and make it as easy as possible to work out what’s right for your big day.
Understanding the Bride’s Dress:
Before selecting your wedding suit, it’s essential to understand the style, color, and overall aesthetic of the bride’s dress. Whilst it’s your day too, your bride and her dress will be the star of the show. Whether she opts for a classic white gown, a vintage-inspired lace dress, or a modern silhouette, her choice sets the tone for the entire wedding aesthetic. Take cues from her dress to guide your suit selection process and ensure that your attire complements hers seamlessly.
If your bride is choosing a classic white dress, you may assume that you’ll be able to match the white aspects of your outfit such as your shirt or suit jacket easily. Sadly, you’d be wrong. There are so many different shades of white, from bone, ivory, cream and pure white. If you don’t get this match perfectly it could look a little mismatched on the day, or even worse, in your photography!
We make sure to find a suit and shirt fabric that perfectly matches your bride’s dress to remove any of the stress out of the planning process.
Think about the Larger Picture:
One of the first decisions you make when planning your wedding is the venue and the date. Where you going to get married and the time of year is going to make a big difference in what you’re going to wear. If you’re getting married somewhere more formal, a classic black tuxedo may be the perfect choice. However, if you’re having a summertime beach wedding, a cream linen suit may be more suited to the environment. If you need help of what fabric and options could be best for your big day. There are lots of options our team can offer to make the decision easier.
Customisations That Make A Difference:
Making your wedding suit extra special has never been easier with custom suiting. And is a great way of sharing those memories you made a long the way as a couple that led to this moment! Adding custom embroidery of a special day, your wedding dat, or something that hold memories for you is a touching addition to any suit. Getting a custom lining of your special moments together or someone you care about can be a great moment to share with your bride on your wedding day. At YSG Tailors, we offer a range of amazing customisations. Get in touch to find out more.
Focus on Fit and Tailoring:
We may be biased, but the most important thing to consider about your wedding suit is the fit. Particularly if you have a body type that makes it hard to find suits off the rack. Investing in a well-fitted suit that ensures you look and feel your best on your wedding day.
At YSG Tailors, we have a rigorous fitting process over three different appointments to ensure that your suit fits you perfectly. Our team is highly experienced and they ensure that your suit will make you the star of the show on your wedding day.
Coordinate Accessories:
Making sure you look your best doesn’t stop at just the suit. The right accessories can make or break your outfit. Which is why we make sure to take that into account throughout the whole process. Matching your pocket square, tie or bowtie to her or the bridesmaid’s dress looks great in pictures. Avoid overpowering her dress with bold or distracting accessories, opting instead for timeless and elegant pieces that enhance the overall aesthetic. Our team will advise on what you’ll need and what would suit your outfit. As well as show you how to wear them properly. We have options in store to suit every wedding type of wedding to remove the stress of organising your outfit.
Communicate and Collaborate:
Finally, communication is key. Discuss your preferences, ideas, and vision for your wedding day look with your partner to ensure that you’re both on the same page. Otherwise, it can lead to some unpleasant surprises down the track! Collaborate on decisions regarding your wedding suit to create a cohesive and coordinated ensemble that reflects your unique personalities and style as a couple.
With careful planning, attention to detail, and open communication, you’ll both look and feel your best as you embark on this unforgettable journey together. We hope this helps you in your wedding planning journey! And if there’s anything we missed or a question you’d like answering, let us know and we’re more than happy to help!
