Groom suits
The days of weddings being just about the bridge and her gown are all but gone. So too are the times when the groom would simply show up in his “Sunday Best”.
These days, there’s a whole industry built around the need of the modern day groom, supplying everything from bespoke to hire and off-the rack suits, jackets, kilts and so much more.
The first choice you need to make is whether you purchase or hire. Doubt you’ll ever wear it again? Hiring might be the best option for you. Another reason to hire making a substantial saving of $800-$2000, which could be spend on another week’s honeymoon!
Do you want to wear French or standard cuffs, a tailored tuxedo or morning suit or whether you stick to a white or go for a coloured one? The options are vast and can confuse even the most fashionable of grooms.
Thankfully, We Love Weddings has already done the legwork and complied a list of the country’s best groom’s suit suppliers, tailors and hire shops. Made to measure or hired, We Love Weddings has the groom suits to keep you covered.
With a suit from our comprehensive list, you’ll look just as good as your blushing bride on your big day!
Quick tip for grooms:
- Start early (about four months) and don’t be afraid to ask a lot of questions – the more you ask, the better you’ll look!
- Check out men’s fashion magazines for the latest styles and fits or ask recently married friends (that have a bit of style!) for advice.
- Whatever you choose – make sure it’s comfortable and reflects your personal style… you’ll be wearing it all day!
- Keep in mind the time of day you’re holding your wedding – morning suits should only be worn in, you guessed it – the morning, while protocol typically states that dinner suits and tuxedos are only suitable if your wedding begins after 6pm.
- If you choose to hire your suit, make sure you try it on again a week before your big day, then confirm the pick up time to avoid any unnecessary stress.
