Suits for the men

Are they likely to have their own suits? If so, then it makes sense just to ask them to wear their own and have matching ties. Not just cheaper but better for the environment not to buy a load of suits they may never wear again.

This is a mistake

In my experience it's most common that the Groom has his suit specially made and the grooms will either have something similar off the peg, or pay for their own suits to be made but conforming to the theme of the wedding/grooms suits.

Since you are a bespoke tailor, it's unsurprising that 'in your experience' the groom has his suit specially made. But for the majority of people, the groom will hire or buy an off-the-peg suit.

That's not my experience and I've tailored for hundreds of weddings. Whilst it's true many grooms will be buying off the peg, many are also having suits made for them - it's a once in a lifetime event and many grooms want something unique.

Precisely - you are a tailor, so therefore every groom who comes to you is going to be wearing a tailored suit. This doesn't mean that every groom who ever gets married does the same thing. Please stop pretending that a bespoke suit is some kind of standard thing you have to have, just because it boosts your own business.

Interesting responses from you, if you look at my other posts on the forum I've recommended the best off the rack suit options. I also sell off the rack & hire suits.

In any case, I'll put you down on the "doesn't want a suit" list.

Have a pleasant weekend.
