Bespoke Tailored Wedding Suits
Our flagship service, the master tailors of Phillip Alexander have been crafting beautiful bespoke suits for gentlemen to wear on their wedding day since 1876.
A bespoke wedding suit from a master tailor is a special thing, and only fitting for an event as special as one’s wedding. Created with you from start to finish, your preferences will be tailored in and anything that you dislike will be tailored around, with invaluable recommendations and advice from a skilled professional. Your tailor is your consultant, and your tool for creating something personal and sophisticated.
The Bespoke Tailoring Process
Our Bespoke Tailored Wedding Suit Service is a time-honoured process with you at the centre.
First, a master tailor will consult you on the proper wedding etiquette, the styles, fits and colours that will accentuate your finest features, and guide you through the process of choosing from thousands of luxurious fabrics. Your preferences and desires are what will your wedding suit uniquely yours.
Next precise measurements will be taken over the course of several fittings to create a draft garment perfectly suited to your size, shape, and style.
The garment is hand-sewn with several iterations before the final fitting of your unique, beautiful, handcrafted wedding suit – fittingly special for your wedding day.
LEAD TIME: 3-5 Months from Initial Appointment to Delivery
Wedding Suit Hire
Our unique hire service. All the quality and class of a luxury garment crafted by a master tailor for your special day. Choose from a wide range of suits and we’ll readjust the suit to your measurements.
Our luxury wedding suit hire garments are a great alternative for dressing the groom and groomsmen. After you have chosen the style of your garment, detailed measurements are taken by a professional tailor, noting your shape as well as your size. The garment is then re-tailored.
A fitting is arranged when the garment is carefully checked and further adjustments may be required and only after that, that the garment is handed over; this is a professional service.
Being guided and measured by a bespoke tailor is invaluable. You can rely on the guidance and the knowledge of etiquette; relax and enjoy the event.
The wedding suit hire process requires two appointments where the hire garments are selected, measurements are taken and then the garments are re-tailored, altered and adjusted to the individual.
Garment choices will vary depending on whether you’re looking for wedding suit hire at our London or Wilmslow Tailors.

MADE TO MEASURE MENS WEDDING SUITS
Sometimes you need a beautiful suit but time is of the essence. A mixture of handmade and machine techniques makes for a faster tailoring time and an exquisitely crafted wedding suit.
Our made to measure wedding suits are a great way to create an individual suit to match your preferences and fit.
The Made to Measure Process:
This process bridges the gap between handmade bespoke and ready to wear suits as it is crafted to fit using a mixture of hand and machine processes. A consultation is conducted where detailed measurements (approximately 15 measurements are collected) are taken and cloth and details are explored.
The process of a made to measure suit involves less fittings than a bespoke suit and can be created within two months. The result is a personalised and impeccably fitting wedding suit that you will love to wear.
Wedding Etiquette
The Groom
What should the man of the hour wear on his wedding day? Some grooms opt to stand out from the rest of the groomsmen with a different pattern or colour wedding suit, while most will want to choose something that compliments the bride’s wedding dress.
The real answer to this question is that the groom should wear whatever he likes – the important thing is that a groom’s suit makes him look good and feel great.
The Groomsmen
The dress of the groomsmen is guided by the groom. If the groom is wearing evening tails, morning tails or dinner wear, the groomsmen would be expected to follow that. Matching ties and handkerchiefs are not expected (or preferable) and some elements of personal differences on these items can often look much better – except for an ivory or off-white neck-tie, which should always be reserved for the groom, whether or not he chooses to wear one.
In scenarios where the groom is wearing a three piece suit, the groomsmen are expected to do the same and dress their very best, short of looking like a groom themselves. Accessories such as a well chosen pocket handkerchief and colourful neck tie and tie pin can make an important difference in the final look.
As always, the suit and shirt being expertly tailored to each individual gives the very best impression and honours the bride and groom’s matrimony .
The Father of the Bride
Traditionally the host of the wedding party the father of the bride can wear whatever he chooses! He can wear morning tails along with the groom, or decide on a well tailored three piece if he chooses. Customarily he will fit in with the rest of the groomsmen, however special attention should be paid to his garment.
Being from an older generation, the same styles that may look fine on the younger groomsmen can often appear undignified and make him feel uncomfortable. It becomes all the more important to shape the garment appropriately for his shape and size, and style it for his years. He is the boss on the day his daughter gets married, and that should be reflected in his attire!
Savile Row Tailored Wedding Suits
Carefully composed images by talented and creative photographers show immaculately prepared Brides wearing flattering and expensive couture dresses.
By their sides, sometimes slightly uncomfortable looking grooms, dressed in poorly fitted rented morning or ‘designer’ suits; or even their routine work suits.
Whilst the bridal gown, which may indeed only be worn once, is a source of great decision, preparation and expense; similar thought is not always invested in dressing the Groom.
This will be the most important occasion, you the Groom, will ever dress for.
It deserves as much attention as a Bride’s dress.
Many options are available, morning wear, evening wear, lounge suits, modern or a relaxed outfit, whatever you choose will dictate the dress code.
Being measured by a skilled tailor and receiving advice on the correct wedding etiquette is invaluable. enhancing your appearance by having the garment individually fitted by a tailor, is priceless.
This will give you total confidence allowing you to concentrate fully on the occasion.
Every detail you ever wanted from a garment will be tailored in; every details you don’t will be tailored around.
Having selected from a vast range of different fabrics, the suit will be individually hand cut, tailored and expertly fitted to your exact shape and size.
