Is the wedding in a hotel or in an outdoor garden? What is the main colour of the reception? How many groomsmen are there? Before choosing a suit, the groom should be able to answer these three questions, because a good wedding outfit lies not in a single garment but in how well it fits the whole ceremony. That is also why Mon Amie offers wedding outfit consulting, as part of a complete styling service for the wedding day.
Quick answer
Wedding outfit consulting at Mon Amie covers concept consulting by wedding style and venue, a bespoke groom's suit, options for the groomsmen, matching accessories and a fitting schedule counted backward from the wedding date. The groom only needs to bring the wedding date, the venue and reference photos, and the stylist will work out the plan together with him.
What the consulting service includes
The Groom Styling service at Mon Amie has four main parts:
- Concept consulting by wedding style and venue: classic, modern, outdoor, evening reception.
- A bespoke groom's suit, made to measure, along with options for the groomsmen.
- Matching accessories: ties, bow ties, pocket squares, cufflinks.
- A fitting schedule counted backward from the wedding date, kept to the agreed dates.
Three things to have before the consultation
- Date and time of the event: a daytime ceremony and an evening reception call for different outfits.
- Venue: hotel, restaurant, garden, beach, church; each has its own level of formality.
- Concept or main colour: you can bring photos of the decoration, the colour of the flowers or the colour of the bride's dress.
If you do not have a concept yet, just come in first. The stylist will make suggestions based on the venue and your build.
Choosing an outfit by venue
| Venue, wedding time | Suggested outfit |
|---|---|
| Hotel, ballroom, evening reception | Dark suit or tuxedo, three-piece if you want it formal |
| Indoor restaurant | Navy or charcoal suit, tie or bow tie |
| Garden, outdoors by day | Light grey or beige suit, breathable fabric |
| Beach wedding | Light-coloured suit, lightweight fabric, tie optional |
| Bridal procession ceremony, ancestral altar ceremony | Suit or traditional attire, depending on the family |
This table is only a first suggestion. When you meet the stylist, you will look at real fabrics and try the real fit before settling on a choice.
The groomsmen: same tone, different tier
Groomsmen should not look identical to the groom, but they should not be off-tone either. Common approaches:
- Same colour palette, with one detail different: waistcoat, tie or pocket square.
- The groom has one extra layer (waistcoat, satin lapel) to stand out in photos.
- Matching accessories for the whole party, easy to see in group photos.
Depending on the concept and budget, the stylist will advise whether the groomsmen should have matching made-to-measure suits or consider renting suits for the occasion. Rental prices are quoted by style when you get in touch.
Why the fitting schedule counts backward from the wedding date
Every groom has a long list of things to do before the wedding. If the suit is only thought about at the last minute, there will be no room for another baste fitting if the jacket needs adjusting. That is why Mon Amie counts backward from the wedding date to set the milestones: measuring, choosing fabric, baste fitting, collection. The showroom will give you the specific schedule when you are measured. You only need to book early.
Not only the groom
Mon Amie makes made-to-measure suits for both men and women. If the bride or a relative wants to coordinate in tone with the groom, for example for the wedding photos or the ancestral altar ceremony, let the stylist know so that everything can be put together as a set.
Tips from Mon Amie's master tailors
- Bring the shoes and shirt you will wear on the wedding day to the measuring.
- Choose a breathable fabric, because wedding receptions often run long and are crowded.
- Do not forget room to move: hugging the bride, raising a glass, dancing.
Frequently asked questions
Is wedding outfit consulting charged separately?
The showroom will discuss this specifically when you get in touch. You can call the hotline 0888.111.118 or book an appointment.
What if I have not chosen a concept yet?
That is fine. The stylist will suggest options based on the venue, the wedding time and your build, and then show you real fabrics.
Can the consultation be done online?
The online tailoring service lets you schedule a video call with a stylist and receive your suit at home, which suits people who live far away or have a busy schedule.
