Wedding Suit Hire FAQ

What Color Suit Should You Wear To A Wedding?

For a wedding, it's best to wear a suit in a neutral color such as navy, grey, or beige. These colors are more traditional and formal, and they pair well with various dress shirts and ties. Avoid wearing a suit in a bright or bold color, as it may be seen as too distracting or inappropriate for a wedding.

Who Wears Matching Suits At A Wedding?

It is common for the groom and groomsmen to wear matching suits at a wedding. The best man, groomsmen, and sometimes the father of the groom and bride also often wear matching suits. It's up to the couple's preference and the formality of the wedding.

What Type of Suit Should You Wear At A Wedding?

The type of suit you should wear depends on the wedding’s dress code. Black tie weddings require a tuxedo, formal daytime weddings may call for a lounge suit or morning suit, while for most weddings we recommend wearing a well-fitted two or three-piece suit in classic colours like navy or grey.

You should always check the invitation and choose a style that matches the formality of the event.

Do you have to wear a suit to a wedding?

You don’t always have to wear a suit to a wedding, but you should still make an effort to dress smartly and stick to the dress code. Casual weddings may allow you to wear tailored trousers with a shirt and jacket, whilst beach or destination weddings can be even more relaxed.

We do believe that wearing a suit is usually the safest option, as it shows respect for the occasion and makes sure you won’t feel underdressed.

Can the bride see the grooms suit before the wedding?

It is a matter of personal preference. Some couples prefer to keep their outfits a surprise until the big day, while others like to coordinate or coordinate their outfits.

It's up to the bride and groom to decide whether they want to see each other's attire before the wedding. If they choose to do so, they can have a private moment to see each other in their wedding attire before the ceremony or have a first-look photo shoot. The historic ‘bad luck’ is around the groom seeing the bride’s dress, not so much vice versa.

Can you wear a black suit to a wedding?

Yes, you can wear a black suit to a wedding, but it is more formal and best suited for evening weddings. It's always good to consider the dress code specified by the bride and groom and the formality of the wedding before deciding on attire.
