When Should I Get My Wedding Suit?
By Henrick’s Custom Suits
Timing is everything, especially when it comes to your wedding. From booking the venue to finalizing the guest list, everything follows a schedule. The same should be true for your suit. A wedding suit is not just another outfit. It is a statement of style, confidence, and commitment. Knowing when to get your wedding suit can make all the difference in how you look and feel on the big day.
Start Early
The ideal time to start looking for your wedding suit is four to six months before the wedding. This allows time for everything from fabric selection to fittings and final adjustments. While it may seem early, custom tailoring is a detailed process. You want to ensure every stitch is perfect.
If you are planning a destination wedding or your wedding falls during peak season, the earlier you start, the better. High-quality tailors and fabric suppliers often get booked quickly, especially during spring and summer.
Why You Should Not Wait
Waiting until the last minute limits your choices. You may have to compromise on fabric, fit, or even style. Rushed tailoring can lead to mistakes or delays. A well-fitted wedding suit takes time. From the first consultation to the final fitting, the process is worth every minute when done without pressure.
A rushed decision might also mean settling for an off-the-rack suit. While some may look fine, they will never match the elegance and confidence that comes with a custom fit.
The Custom Suit Timeline
At Henrick’s Custom Suits, here is how the process typically works:
4 to 5 months out Book your consultation.
Discuss your vision, look at fabrics, choose linings, and take measurements.
3 months out Your suit is crafted to your specifications.
6 to 8 weeks out First fitting. This is where we adjust sleeves, pant lengths, if needed.
2 to 3 weeks out Final fitting and pickup.
This timeline ensures your suit not only fits perfectly but also gives you time to break it in, try it with your shoes, and coordinate your shirt and accessories.
What If You Are Short on Time?
We understand that not every groom starts early. If your wedding is coming up fast, contact us right away. We offer expedited services and curated ready-to-wear options that still provide the refined look and feel you deserve.
Your Wedding, Your Style
