When to Start Suit Shopping for Your Wedding

The Ultimate Guide by Black Jacket Suiting

Your Journey to the Perfect Wedding Suit Starts Here

So…How far in advance should you order a wedding suit? For an impeccable fit and style, we advise securing your suit or tuxedo approximately four months prior to your event.

At Black Jacket Suiting, we echo the sentiment that grooms and their groomsmen should finalize their suits or tuxedos with ample time to spare, ideally four months before the wedding or any significant occasion. Nonetheless, we also accommodate last-minute preparations, offering the option to arrange your suit rental up to three weeks before your special day.

Embarking on the journey to find the perfect wedding suit can be as thrilling as it is daunting. At Black Jacket Suiting, we understand the importance of every detail in making your big day unforgettable and with over 20 years experience our tailored wedding experts are with you every step of the way to guide and advise you through this wonderful life event.

This guide is meticulously crafted to navigate you through the timeline of selecting the ideal wedding attire, ensuring a seamless, stress-free experience.

How It Works

4-6 MONTHS PRIOR

Consultation
Step 01

Consultation

The first consultation (60mins) allows your personal stylist to chat with you and your partner about design, styles, patterns, cuts and budgets to create a unique and bespoke plan and timeline for your big day. Sizing and try-ons are welcomed.

3 MONTHS PRIOR

Selection & Fitting
Step 02

Selection & Fitting

Your second consultation (30mins) allows for the groom and groom’s party to select the items you are interested in. Your stylist will then take preliminary measurements of the garments and note any specific requirements as well as quoting on expected alterations.

1 MONTH PRIOR

Final Touches
Step 03

Final Touches

The final consultation (30mins) allows for your wedding party (as a group or individually) to fit your outfits and confirm alterations. The garments are then sent to our expert local tailors to be altered, prepared and ready for your collection 1-2 weeks prior to your wedding.
