Wedding suit tips from the experts: Black Jacket Suiting
We love capturing all the details on your wedding day! From the overall atmosphere of the day right down to the small design choices and everything in between. When it comes to your wedding, every detail really does matter. But, if there’s one thing we can’t get enough of, that’s a perfectly tailored suit for the groom. While we admit that the bride’s gown often steals the limelight, a groom’s suit plays a pivotal role in enhancing the entire ambiance of the event.
We’ve partnered with Black Jacket Suiting, a Brisbane based business that specialises in offering personalised service, expert knowledge and product diversity at affordable prices to bring you this blog.
Here are 6 essential tips to keep in mind when on the hunt for the perfect suit for your wedding.
Tip 1: Understand your wedding theme
Firstly, align your suit choice with your wedding theme. If it's a summer wedding, lighter fabrics like linen in softer shades can be idyllic. For a black-tie event, nothing speaks louder than a classic tuxedo. Likewise, if your heart is set on a certain suit, make sure to keep that in mind when choosing your venue. Remember, your venue will either compliment your suit or completely disagree with it.
Tip 2: Complement Your Partner's Attire
Whether your partner is wearing a gown or a suit themselves, ensure that your suit complements their attire. Think about how the colours, textures, and styles will blend together. Do they elevate each other or clash? It's all about presenting a unified front, complimenting each other in every form.
Tip 3: Tailored Fit - The Ultimate Key
An impeccable fit can elevate even the simplest of suits. Whether you're inclined towards a single-breasted lounge suit or a luxuriously lapelled double-breasted number, Black Jacket Suiting ensures your choice is sculpted to resonate with your physique, making you feel confident. The last thing you want on your wedding day is to feel like you can’t breathe in your too-tight suit, or to be constantly readjusting your pants.
Tip 4: Fabric Matters
Given South East Queensland’s unpredictable climate, fabric choice is crucial! Again, think about your venue - is your ceremony being held indoors or outdoors? Wool suits and darker colours work wonders for cooler months, while cotton or light-coloured linen will help you stay cool in the warmer seasons.
Tip 5: Accessories - The Final Flourish
The devil is in the details. Cufflinks, ties, pocket squares - each adds a distinct touch and flare of personality to your attire. As photographers, we love the classic bow tie. But depending on your suit style, you may opt for either a bow tie (classic or pre-tied), a tie, or an open-collared shirt. Black Jacket Suiting offers a diverse array of accessories ensuring your wedding suit is always paired to perfection.
Tip 6: Trust the Experts
With vast experience in menswear, Black Jacket Suiting's team provides personalised service, guiding you through the maze of options. From initial consultations to pattern making and final alterations, every step is tailored to match your unique style and requirements.
Even if you're not located in Brisbane, you can still make an informed choice when selecting the perfect wedding suit. By following these tips, you can confidently move ahead with your suit selection, keeping your wedding vision in mind. Always remember that it's not just about looking great; feeling your best is equally important, and a well-chosen suit can truly make a significant impact!
