Is a Custom Wedding Suit Right for Your Wedding?

November 20, 2022

< back to blog home

If you're planning a wedding, you may or may not know that a custom wedding suit is possible for your big day. When I got married 13 years ago, a custom suit for my fiance wasn't even on my radar. And while I love him and think he looked quite handsome, I wish we had considered it for him. When you spend this much time looking at your photos from the big day, it's important that everyone look their best!

Is a custom garment right for you?

If you're new to the topic of a custom suit for the wedding, you may have some questions, like:

  • How much does a custom suit or tux cost?
  • How much does a bespoke suit cost?

Today's Episode on Custom Wedding Suits

On today's episode of the podcast, we talk about the magic and beauty of custom suits. I will be the first one to confess, I didn’t know much about custom tailored suits until I became a wedding planner. But now that I’ve discovered them, I’m obsessed and want to share them with all of you.

Today we’re diving into the details of custom-tailored suits – who is it good for, why you might want to consider having a custom suit, and other important questions to consider.

And don't forget, a custom suit isn’t just for the guys. Women also wear suits to their wedding day, too!

If today is your first time visiting Verve Event Co., welcome! My name is Desiree Adams and I'm a wedding planner based in upstate NY.  Through my blog and podcast, Ask the Planner, I share all the tips and tricks I've gathered over the years to help YOU plan an unforgettable wedding.

I hope you all enjoyed this week’s episode with Peter. In fact, I’ve been wanting to do an episode on custom suits for a long time. Thankfully, Peter was able to join us. Please make sure you follow Adrian Jules on Instagram. Their clothing is absolutely exquisite. One day I hope to get my husband a custom suit.
