Father Of The Groom Suits
Tailor Made or for Hire, serving London & Cheshire
Phillip Alexander has years of experience tailoring luxury wedding suits for the groom, the groomsmen, and the groom’s father. Established in 1876, Phillip Alexander has over a century of tradition and expertise.
We offer a range of tailoring services, including bespoke tailored suits, made-to-measure tailored suits, and luxury tailored suit hire, to ensure the groom’s father looks his very best on his son’s big day.
In traditional weddings, the groom’s father might play a less pivotal role than the bride’s father. However, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t put time and effort into your wedding outfit. As the father of the groom, you’ll likely be tasked with greeting guests during the ceremony and giving a toast during the reception. All eyes will be on you during your speech, so it’s essential that you are dressed for the occasion – not to mention, you’ll likely be captured in many photographs, so don’t let an ill-fitting suit ruin the family picture!
Purchasing a beautiful bespoke suit handcrafted by a master tailor is the best way to ensure you look impeccable during the ceremony. Our bespoke suits are expertly tailored to your exact measurements and involve multiple fittings to ensure a precise fit. Your son’s wedding is the ultimate occasion to dress your best and show off your sense of personal style.
Father of The Groom Suit Etiquette
There’s lots of guidance on how the groom and groomsmen should dress for the wedding ceremony, but it’s not as clear what an appropriate father of the groom suit is.
The main factor that will guide your choice of suit is what the groom and groomsmen are wearing. Although the groom’s father should not dress identically to the wedding party, he should wear a suit of the same or similar colour and style.
The father of the groom’s wedding attire should mirror how the groom is dressed to show the connection between father and son. For example, if the groom is wearing a navy three-piece suit with a light blue tie, you should also wear a navy suit (either three-piece or two-piece) with a tie or bow tie in a complementary colour.
You may also opt for a suit with a different cut that better suits your shape, makes you feel comfortable, and reflects your status as the groom’s father. When it comes to accessories, such as your pocket square, you can choose different colours than the rest of the groomsmen – just be careful that your colour choice works with the overall theme of the wedding.
As the father of the bride, you should also take care to dress according to the wedding dress code when deciding to wear a suit or tuxedo. If it’s a black tie wedding and the rest of the wedding party are wearing tuxedos, you should follow suit.
Purchasing or hiring one of our luxury tailored suits means you’ll benefit from our styling advice to ensure you make the right choice for your son’s wedding. We’ll happily offer the father of the groom suit ideas and guidance on the most appropriate style and colour based on the wedding dress code, theme, and how the wedding party is dressed.
