Weddings are more than just a celebration of love they’re a showcase of style, elegance, and personality.
Whether you’re a groom, groomsman, or guest, choosing the right suit is essential. At Henricks Custom Suits, we guide you to look your best—confident, refined, and perfectly dressed for the occasion.
1. Understand the Dress Code
Always check the invitation first. Most weddings will specify a dress code—here’s what they typically mean:
Black Tie: Tuxedo with a black bow tie, white dress shirt, and patent leather shoes.
Formal / Black Tie Optional: A dark suit (navy, charcoal, or black) with a white shirt and tie. Tuxedo is still acceptable.
Semi-Formal: A tailored suit in mid- or dark tones with a dress shirt and tie. Accessories help elevate your look.
Casual or Beach Wedding: Lightweight fabrics like linen or bamboo blends, often with softer colors and optional ties.
2. Groom vs. Guest
Groom: Go custom. Your wedding day is a milestone—make your suit special. Consider rich details like a peak lapel, custom lining, or monogram.
Groomsmen: Coordinated but not identical. Let the groom stand out, but aim for unity in color and cut.
Guest: Respect the dress code, but feel free to show personality with textures, patterns, and subtle accessories.
3. Season & Setting Matter
Spring/Summer: Choose breathable fabrics like wool-linen blends or bamboo stretch. Lighter colors think stone, light gray, or sky blue shine here.
Fall/Winter: Heavier fabrics like wool or flannel. Deep tones like burgundy, forest green, or midnight blue look sharp and seasonal.
4. The Fit Is Everything
Regardless of the style, a poor fit ruins the look. At Henrick’s, our suits are made-to-measure with precision tailoring, ensuring your confidence walks into every room before you do.
