5 Reasons to Ditch your Wedding Dress for a Suit

6 March 2024

Gone are the days of meringue-esque silhouettes… enter the era of slick and stylish tailoring for your wedding day.

Since the pandemic, minimalistic weddings and simplistic looks have trickled into popularity with individuals wanting a modern, toned-down look suited to them, swapping the traditional gown for bridal tailoring.

In this article, we’re sharing our top 5 reasons why the modern bride should consider a suit as the outfit for their big day.

1. Non-Restrictive

Layering yourself in tulle, corsetry and lace may be beautiful but can be restricting… and who wants to be restricted on a day filled with movement and dancing?!

A suit can be the perfect compromise to looking elegant yet still being comfortable throughout the entirety of your special day, leaving you to move freely and happily without the weight of layers of thick silk dragging behind you. The best part is, you look just as chic in the suit as you would in the gown.

2. True to your Style

Confidence is key when it comes to your wedding day. Women want to look and feel their best, and are stepping out of their comfort zone by choosing tailored suits over conventional dresses for an effortlessly cool alternative that enables the creation of something truly unique to you.

Dresses aren’t for everyone, and this remains the same for wedding days. In the past, it seemed impossible to find a perfectly fitting suit for women due to the limited range of masculine blocks. Now, with bespoke tailoring for women, your bridal suit can truly be your own, showing off your unique style with modernity and elegance.

3. Cost-Effective

With sustainability and cost-effectiveness being strong influences in 2024, there’s no surprise that this is also blending into the wedding scene. Re-wearability is key and a huge benefit to having a bridal suit.

Parts of your suit can be worn individually again and again. The bridal suit can act as both your dream wedding outfit and a versatile wardrobe staple, mixing and matching with other garments in your wardrobe to create countless other styles.

4. Endless Options

So what style choices do you have with the bridal suit? Simple - the options are endless. With so many style nuances, fabrics and trims available, you really can make your wedding suit your own.

You can create your own version of ‘traditional’, such as a perfectly-fitting, crisp white suit, or build your unique vision with our highly experienced consultants. Whether it's adding personalised embroidery or a specific customisation, adding your own spin on a wedding suit is what makes it so special.

5. Complement as a couple

The huge advantage of both you and your partner wearing a suit is that we can craft the look as a whole, ensuring your styles work effortlessly together whilst giving you each the chance to let your own unique personality shine through.

You can match suits exactly, or complement each other with matching shades, or even go distinctively different - the choice is up to you!
