Preparing for the big day demands care in every detail, and having a suit made before the wedding is one of the top priorities of every gentleman. A suit is not only clothing but also a statement of style and respect for the most sacred occasion of a lifetime. However, many grooms are complacent and leave it until the last minute, which causes unnecessary mistakes at the fitting or in the choice of fabric.

Why have a suit made early before the wedding?
First, we need to understand that a bespoke-standard suit made before the wedding cannot be completed in just a few days. Allowing enough time therefore helps you avoid mental pressure and gives you time to refine every stitch. Moreover, high-quality fabrics imported from England or Italy often take time to ship if the cloth you choose is not in stock.In addition, finishing the suit early gives you more time to choose accompanying accessories such as leather shoes, a belt, a tie or cufflinks. This ensures the groom's appearance is fully coordinated. If you leave it until close to the day, every change, however small, becomes hurried and less refined.
The bespoke tailoring process at Mon Amie
At Mon Amie, we apply the traditional art of bespoke tailoring combined with modern technology. This process requires at least 2 to 3 fittings to make sure the outfit hugs the body accurately while still allowing comfortable movement. Our artisans adjust every millimetre based on your real movement.In particular, at the first fitting (the baste fitting), the suit is only pieces of cloth held together with temporary basting thread. This stage is extremely important for shaping the structure of the shoulder and the length of the trousers. You therefore need to allow about 15–20 days for this stage so that skilled tailors can carry out the most detailed adjustments.
The golden window: 2 months before the wedding
Based on more than 30 years of experience in the trade, Mon Amie advises grooms to start having the suit made before the wedding at least 8 weeks ahead. This period is regarded as the 'golden window' because it covers choosing the fabric, measuring, fittings and a margin for unexpected changes. However, if you plan to hold the wedding abroad or take pre-wedding photographs early, the time should be 3 months.Above all, having a classic suit early lets you be more confident at outdoor photo shoots. You will not have to worry about the outfit not being finished in time or not fitting when you stand in front of the camera. Confidence is the key to the bearing of an elegant gentleman.
A note on changes in build
A common issue is that grooms tend to lose weight or build muscle at the gym before the wedding. However, changing weight too suddenly will directly affect the cut of the suit. You should therefore keep a stable routine after the last measurement. If there is a major change in your measurements, tell Mon Amie right away so that we can adjust in time.Furthermore, the team of artisans at Mon Amie is always ready to help let out or take in the outfit slightly within 7 days before the wedding. This service is meant to make sure the suit fits your body closely at the moment of the ceremony. It is the kind of dedication we pursue throughout our journey of development.
