Essential Tips for Choosing a Wedding Suit That Matches Your Unique Theme and Style

 

Your wedding day is more than a formality—it’s a reflection of your relationship, your personality, and your vision for the future. Every detail contributes to that vision, but few more visibly than your suit. Whether your wedding is set in a countryside barn, an elegant ballroom, or a modern city rooftop, your wedding suit should align with the theme and feel like an extension of you.

At Paul Andrew, we believe that choosing the right men’s wedding suit is about more than fit—it’s about identity, intention, and impact. Below, we break down how to match your suit to your unique theme and style without sacrificing comfort or elegance.

1. Understand Your Wedding Theme First

Before selecting a suit, get clarity on your wedding style. Is it formal or relaxed? Traditional or contemporary? Indoor or outdoor? Here’s how different themes influence your suit choice:

The right suit will echo the environment without blending into it.

2. Match Colour to Setting and Season

Season and venue should guide your colour palette:

• Summer weddings: Lighter tones such as stone, beige, or soft blue.

• Winter or evening weddings: Richer tones like navy, charcoal, or black.

• Outdoor settings: Natural textures like tweed or herringbone.

• Urban venues: Sleek fabrics in deep, saturated colours.
  
  

Paul Andrew Suggestions:

• Mayfair Stone for spring countryside weddings

• Madrid Navy for modern city venues

• Harry Black for classic evening elegance
  
  

Tip: Incorporate accent colours from the décor or bridesmaids’ dresses via ties, pocket squares, or boutonnieres.

3. Coordinate with Your Partner Without Matching

You don’t need to match colours exactly, but your styles should complement one another. If your partner is wearing a sleek, minimal gown, a slim-cut navy or black suit keeps the tone aligned. If they’re going for boho or vintage, you might consider a patterned waistcoat or soft earthy hues.

Key areas to coordinate subtly:

• Tie colour

• Pocket square or boutonnière

• Fabric texture

• General formality level
  
  

4. Don’t Underestimate the Power of Accessories

Accessories refine and personalise your suit. Depending on your theme:

• Rustic weddings: Textured ties, tweed waistcoats, floral lapel pins

• Black tie: Silk bow tie, pocket square, polished shoes

• Modern looks: Clean minimal accessories in tonal colours

• Beach weddings: Open collar shirts, loafers, linen textures

5. Think About Comfort and Practicality

While style is key, don’t compromise on comfort. If you’re moving between multiple locations, dancing late into the evening, or celebrating outdoors in summer, make sure your suit is breathable and flexible.

Paul Andrew tailoring combines structure with movement, offering suits designed to perform under pressure—both in comfort and appearance.

6. Don’t Forget the Wedding Party Aesthetic

If you’re coordinating with groomsmen, consider choosing suits in the same style but slightly different accessories. This keeps the group cohesive without making the groom blend in.

Example: You in Madrid Navy with a patterned tie, groomsmen in navy suits with plain ties and matching pocket squares.

Paul Andrew also offers matching options for boys—ideal for page boys or junior groomsmen.

7. Get Fitted Early—And Build in Time for Adjustments

A common mistake is leaving your suit to the last minute. The earlier you shop, the more time you have to customise or make small alterations.

Ideal lead time:

• 2–3 months before the wedding for selection

• 4–6 weeks before for alterations

• 1 week before for final fitting with full accessories
