Top Tips for Perfect Suit Hire for Weddings

Planning a trip to a suit hire provider to find the all important wedding outfit? Not sure what to expect or how to prepare? Follow our top tips to ensure your suit hire experience is hassle free.

It’s advisable to book a first fitting 12 weeks in advance of your wedding to allow enough time for any alterations to be made or items to be sourced if required. For younger groomsmen, i.e. those aged under 16 years of age, book a fitting three weeks before to allow for growth as this will have a major bearing on the fit of the suit.

Take a swatch of the colour of the bridesmaid dresses as this will help your suit hire provider in finding a suit to complement your colour scheme, and also ties or cravats to match the bridesmaid’s colours. It’s a good idea to consider the colour and style of your buttonhole at this point as this will have a bearing on the shade of your suit and also your ties and cravats.

Try on your suit with a pair of shoes as this will finish the look off properly, ensure your trouser length is spot on, and will generally help you in your decision making process.

If you’re the groom, take just one other person, maybe your best man or bride with you to the initial fitting. Inviting a crowd along to the first fitting will only confuse matters as everyone will have a different opinion. Work out what you like, and what is best for your colour scheme before inviting the entire party along.

Try on as many different styles of jackets before committing to one type. Even if you know exactly what you want, it’s a good idea to experiment with different styles in case something you hadn’t considered actually looks better than what you had your mind set on.

When you book suit hire, you’ll be given a date by which all of the suits must be returned. If you’re heading straight off on honeymoon, ensure you enlist someone trustworthy to return all of the suits and any other accessories you’ve hired by the specified date as almost every suit hire company charges a penalty for late returns.
