When Should You Buy Your Wedding Suit?
How you look on your wedding day matters. You want a suit with impeccable style – one that makes a sophisticated statement. Now that you’ve set the date, it’s natural to wonder when is the best time to get fitted for a wedding suit. We’re here to tell you: the earlier, the better. The last thing you want is to be rushing around in the weeks before your wedding without the perfect suit.
Our team at Woolcott St will help you find your unique style. Whether you’re looking for a versatile suit or a custom statement piece, our expert tailors guide you through every detail.
The Inspiration Phase: 6-9 Months Out
This is your opportunity to discover your unique sense of style. You don’t need to arrive with a finalised design; simply knowing your preferred colour palette or specific finishing touches goes a long way.
Having a starting point is often the difference between feeling hesitant and feeling truly assured on your special day. We recommend flicking through magazines or scrolling through your social feeds to gather inspiration. By saving and bringing these ideas to us, our Woolcott St team can collaborate to create an elegant, well-fitted suit that feels as though it was made exclusively for you.
The Initial Consultation & Design: 5 Months Out
Bring your ideas, inspiration, and references to our Sydney CBD showroom, and we’ll take it from there. During this session, we will refine your ideas, explore thousands of luxury fabrics and linings, and take your initial measurements to begin the tailoring process.
Your tailored wedding suit is a sentimental investment – a personal piece designed not only to ensure your comfort but to carry you through one of the most significant moments of your life. This is why planning ahead, as early as five months out, is best. It allows you the time to make thoughtful choices that truly reflect your love story.
While we delve into the details, enjoy a glass of fine whiskey, the perfect way to settle in while creating something exceptional. This is an intimate experience to be shared, and we welcome you to bring your partner, wedding party, or family along. Together, you can explore a variety of designs and embrace the process of tailoring your perfect garment.
The First Fitting: 3 Months Out
Now it’s time to come in for your first suit fitting to see your design beautifully take shape. Our expert tailors will spend time assessing your silhouette and sculpting the fabric to your exact proportions to ensure a flawless fit.
As you step into your garment, the vision for your wedding day comes to life. That is the moment you realise this suit was meant for you: sharp, elegantly refined, and tailored to your lifestyle. Our tried-and-tested bespoke process will ensure that you have ample time to perfect your look for the most important day of your life.
The Second Fitting & Refinements: 6-8 Weeks Out
The earlier you have these steps done, the more confident you will feel as your wedding day approaches. Whether your custom-made suit needs just one or a couple rounds of alterations, time is of the essence. This is why it’s essential to know when to get fitted for a wedding suit.
Our skilful team has a sharp eye for the subtle details you might overlook. We know that the beauty of a suit is not only in its design, but in the way it fits. From the precise fit of the trousers to the way the jacket drapes across your shoulders, we’ll ensure that your suit fits you like a glove.
Final Try-On and Collection: 3-4 Weeks Out
Your custom-made wedding suit is now ready for collection. You can walk toward your wedding day with poise and confidence, knowing that every detail – from the lapels and buttons to the intricate monogramming – was crafted with intention.
When your partner walks down the aisle, your only focus should be the moment. A tailored suit provides an effortless elegance, allowing you to feel at ease and confident in your own skin.
