Tailored Wedding Suits
The growing trend for couples to marry in a much broader range of locations and the introduction of the ‘Civil Partnership Bill’ means a more diverse look for weddings is being introduced.
With so many different locations available, the wedding ‘look’ is extremely varied and the wide choice enables you to choose exactly what’s right for your special occasion.
Wedding Suit Styles
Although the top hat and tailcoat look is still used, the variety of styles and looks are immense.
For that romantic wedding on those far away sun-kissed luxurious islands, the suit is being replaced by bright colours in comfortable cottons and linens to fit the environment and jackets being replaced by waistcoats.
The three-piece suit is still popular but the waistcoats tend to be a different fabric from the suit but still co-ordinating with the colour theme.
Tweeds are very popular for ‘Country’ weddings with fantastic colourful designs to match the colour theme of the wedding. The groomsmen are also now matching but still keeping the bride and bridegroom the centre of attention.
ETCH
Made-to-measure tailoring is no longer reserved for luxury boutiques and premium price tags. Today, more men are choosing custom-made garments because they recognise the difference that fit, comfort and personal style can make.
At Fox Tailoring, we are proud to offer ETCH as our great-value made-to-measure solution. Designed to bridge the gap between off-the-peg clothing and traditional bespoke tailoring, ETCH allows clients to create a suit that is uniquely their own without the investment typically associated with bespoke garments.
With a choice of over 120 fabrics, a wide range of linings, buttons and styling options, every ETCH garment is made specifically to your measurements and personal preferences. Whether you are looking for a business suit, wedding attire, race day outfit or simply a suit that fits correctly, ETCH offers exceptional flexibility and value.
Wedding clients particularly appreciate the versatility of the ETCH collection. Classic navy and grey remain timeless choices, but we are seeing increasing demand for textured fabrics, contemporary checks, rich earthy tones and contrasting waistcoats that add personality whilst maintaining a sophisticated appearance. Tweeds continue to be extremely popular for country weddings, while lighter fabrics and softer colour palettes are ideal for destination weddings and summer celebrations.
The ETCH experience is about more than simply choosing a fabric. During your consultation, we guide you through the entire process, helping you select the most suitable cloth, styling details and fit for your individual requirements. From lapel styles and pocket designs to linings and embroidery, every detail can be tailored to reflect your personality and occasion.
Perhaps the greatest benefit of ETCH is confidence. A suit made specifically for your body shape not only looks better but feels more comfortable throughout the day. The result is a garment that fits naturally, enhances your appearance and helps you make the right impression wherever you wear it.
For those looking to experience made-to-measure tailoring for the first time, ETCH offers an excellent introduction. Combining quality craftsmanship, extensive personalisation options and outstanding value, it is easy to see why it has become one of the most popular tailoring choices available through Fox Tailoring.
Wedding Suit Fit
With today’s emphasis on looking and feeling your best, the fit of your wedding suit has never been more important. While suit hire remains a popular option, hire garments are designed to fit a wide range of body shapes and are often cut more generously as a result.
A made-to-measure suit is created specifically for your measurements, ensuring a cleaner fit across the shoulders, chest and waist. The result is a sharper appearance, greater comfort and increased confidence throughout your wedding day.
Many grooms now choose to have their own suit made-to-measure while hiring for the rest of the wedding party. After all, it is his day too. A perfectly fitted suit allows the groom to stand out whilst remaining coordinated with the overall wedding theme.
Perhaps most importantly, a made-to-measure suit becomes a lasting reminder of your special day, giving you a garment that can be worn and enjoyed long after the celebrations are over.
Inner Lining
The Importance of Suit Linings
When it comes to wedding suits, it’s often the finer details that make the biggest difference. One of the most overlooked yet important elements is the inner lining.
Not only does the lining contribute to the comfort and durability of the jacket, but it also provides an opportunity to add personality and individuality to your suit. From bold patterns and meaningful colours to subtle details that reflect your style, the right lining can transform a great suit into something truly unique.
At Fox Tailoring, we believe your wedding suit should be as personal as the day itself. That’s why we offer a wide range of lining options to complement your chosen fabric and create a garment that feels uniquely yours.
New for 2025 – Personalised Photo Linings
For those looking to add an extra sentimental touch, Fox Tailoring can now create fully personalised jacket linings featuring a cherished photograph or meaningful image.
Whether it’s a loved one who can’t be there on your special day, a family member you wish to honour, or simply a photograph that holds special memories, we can incorporate it into the inside of your wedding jacket to create something truly unforgettable.
It’s a discreet and personal detail that remains close to your heart throughout the day and often becomes one of the most treasured features of the suit.
