While much of the focus in wedding planning is often on the bride, grooms also want to look their best on their big day. Here are some suit hacks to help groom your groom’s look…
1. Start Early: Just like with bridal dresses, it’s essential for grooms to start shopping for their suits well in advance of the wedding day. This allows time for fittings, alterations, and finding the perfect ensemble. And much like the bride multiple fittings closer to the date should also be booked.
2. Consider the Theme and Venue: Take into account the overall theme and style of your wedding, as well as the venue, when choosing the groom’s suit. Opt for a suit that complements the aesthetic of the wedding theme and suits the formality of the event.
3. Get Proper Measurements: Proper fit is key when it comes to a groom’s suit. Schedule a professional fitting to ensure accurate measurements and alterations if necessary. A well-fitted suit will make all the difference in the groom’s appearance. Ensuring they have another fitting once tailored and again around 6 weeks out to allow for weight fluctuation.
4. Pay Attention to Fabric and Quality: Choose high-quality fabrics for the groom’s suit that not only look stylish but also feel comfortable to wear. Consider factors like breathability and wrinkle resistance, especially if the wedding will be outdoors or in warm weather.
5. Coordinate with the Bridal Party: Coordinate the groom’s suit with the bridal party’s attire to ensure a cohesive and polished look. This can include matching colours, fabrics, or accessories to tie everything together.
6. Don’t Forget the Accessories: Accessories can elevate the groom’s look and add personality and flair. Consider adding a stylish tie or bowtie, pocket square, cufflinks, or a boutonniere to complete the ensemble.
7. Tailor the Suit to Fit: Even if you purchase a suit off the rack, invest in professional tailoring to ensure a perfect fit. Tailoring can address issues like sleeve length, pant length, and jacket fit, resulting in a polished and sophisticated look.
8. Personalise the Details: Add personal touches to the groom’s suit to make it unique and meaningful. This could include monogramming the inside of the jacket, selecting custom buttons, or choosing a lining fabric with special significance.
9. Practice Proper Grooming: Encourage the groom to practice proper grooming habits in the weeks leading up to the wedding. This includes regular haircuts, skincare, and grooming of facial hair to ensure a polished appearance on the big day.
10. Relax and Enjoy: Finally, remind the groom to relax and enjoy the process of selecting his wedding suit. With careful planning and attention to detail, he’ll look and feel his best when he walks down the aisle.
Whilst everyone pampers and talks about the bride its important to remember your groom also wants to look his best and he deserves pampering too. And if you’re a same sex couple be it two brides or two grooms or however you wish to categorise, why not add some extra flair to your suit in the way of a cape, jewels, sequins or more!
