Planning your wedding attire for your special day? Why not think outside the tuxedo or morning suit box and opt for a custom-tailored men's wedding suit? After all, the groom's attire is just as important as the bride's is, and while most eyes will probably be on her, you'll likely be subjected to a little style scrutiny as well. Sure, you could settle for an ill-fitting, boxy rent-a-tux with an unflattering silhouette, but it might be better to invest in a bespoke wedding suit that makes you look (and feel) like a million dollars.

Custom wedding suits offer high returns on your investment because of the durability of the fabrics and the quality of the garment's construction. While the initial cost may seem high, the affordability of the wedding suit becomes evident over its lifetime. The same suit that crowned your big moment can take you to formal events, job interviews and career promotions, and other life events and celebrations. Every time you wear it, you are lowering the initial cost and maximizing your dollars—and you’ll look damn good while you’re doing it.

A tailor will custom fit your wedding suit to your height, weight and body measurements, which means even if you choose the same style as your groomsmen, the suits will be perfectly fitted to flatter each individual. Tailors can also help you decide on the best fabric choices and guide you through choosing options like jacket linings, lapel widths, collar spreads, and pant breaks and tapers. Their personal styling advice on how to construct the garment can save you time, energy and money because you won't need to alterations to make the suit suitable for reuse after you get married.

To get the most value from your wedding suit purchase, opt for a suit with a vest and an extra pair of trousers. Typically, pants wear out quicker than jackets, so having an extra pair of matching trousers can extend the wearable life of the garment. Additionally, if the pants are ripped, torn or damaged, the extra pair ensures the continued use of your suit. Wearing the vest with the suit as part of your wedding attire allows you to look stylishly pulled-together, and that tells the world (and your bride-to-be) you pay attention to details. After the nuptials, you can always use the vest alone with other outfits and ensembles for a casual look.

Whether yours is a formal or casual wedding, a custom tailor is ready with expert advice to make sure you look well-groomed and handsome in your bespoke wedding attire.
