When to buy a Wedding suit for groom?
It can be tricky to know when to buy your wedding suit with so much other planning going on, but we would always recommend starting the process 6 months in advance. In some cases that may not always be possible, and that’s not a problem either! Beginning the process as early as possible allows time to choose the best wedding suits for grooms while getting the perfect fit. It also gives you one less thing to worry about down the line!
At Leonard Silver, our in-house tailor will take the time to discuss with you your style, what trends you like, and the colours to suit your wedding. This allows us to understand what you are looking for in a wedding suit for groom. With over 35 years in the industry, our tailor knows everything there is to know when it comes to suits. Meaning he can easily identify the best suits to match your style and colour scheme.
Once you’ve picked a wedding suit you like, we’ll schedule an appointment for your fittings to get your initial measurements. This will be the case with a ready-to-wear suit or a bespoke suit, as we believe that there is nothing better than a fitted suit for your wedding.
Following that, we’ll get to work on creating your perfectly tailored suit. We always aim to finish the suit 3 months before the wedding, when timings allow. We suggest that you try on your suit 2 weeks before the big day to check everything is ok and allow for any last-minute alterations.
Which Wedding suit to buy?
