From the moment a man decides to propose to the day he says “I do”, his journey is filled with important decisions. While choosing the perfect ring, planning the proposal, and setting the wedding date are all major milestones, one of the most crucial choices for any groom is his wedding suit. A groom’s attire should reflect his personality, style, and the sophistication of the occasion.
At Roberto Vicentti, we believe that a wedding suit is more than just clothing but a symbol of elegance and commitment. A well-tailored suit withstands the test of time, ensuring that a groom looks exceptional on his wedding day just as in every cherished photograph for years to come.
The Key Decisions Leading Up to the Wedding
1. The Proposal: Setting the Tone for Happiness
A proposal is the first step in the wedding journey, and what you wear on this special occasion can set the tone for your style throughout the wedding process. It’s your first chance to opt for a well-tailored Italian suit or an elegant blazer-and-trouser combination. The goal is to look polished in the engagement photos, giving a glimpse of the refined style to come.
2. Selecting the Wedding Theme and Dress Code
Once the engagement is official, the wedding-style discussions begin. The level of formality the couple defines plays a significant role, not only in the guests’ dress code but also in selecting the perfect suit.
- Formal Weddings: A black-tie event calls for a classic Italian tuxedo with impeccable craftsmanship, satin lapels, and luxurious wool fabrics.
- Semi-Formal Weddings: A tailored three-piece suit in a sleek, structured Italian cut adds depth and refinement.
- Casual or Destination Weddings: A linen or lightweight wool suit in softer tones would be the best option, reflecting a much-desired effortlessness while keeping you comfortable yet polished.
3. The Timeless Appeal of the Perfect Suit
Selecting a wedding suit is more than just colour and fabric – it’s about choosing a suit that fits like a second skin. Nothing makes you look unkempt like a suit that doesn’t fit quite right. However, Italian design is synonymous with sleek silhouettes, precise stitching, and premium materials, ensuring you look your best on the big day. Roberto Vicentti’s collection, inspired by blends tradition with modern tailoring, offering suits that highlight your best features while allowing effortless movement.
When choosing a suit, consider fabric, fit and details. High-quality wools, silk blends, or breathable materials provide a refined yet comfortable feel. A structured yet comfortable silhouette enhances confidence and posture. Finally, elements like the lapel width, button stance, and pocket styles add to the overall aesthetic.
4. Tailoring & Adjustments: Perfecting the Fit
Even the finest suit requires adjustments to ensure a flawless fit. At Roberto Vicentti, our expert tailoring focuses on:
- Jacket: The shoulders must align naturally, and sleeves should reveal a quarter-inch of the shirt’s cuff.
- Trousers: They should sit comfortably at the waist with a sharp break at the shoes.
- Waistcoat (if applicable): It should fit snugly but allow you to move easily while maintaining a streamlined look.
Timing is also key:
- 3 months before: Choose and order your suit
- 6-8 weeks before: Attend the first fitting for major adjustments.
- 2-3 weeks before: Schedule the final fitting for last-minute refinements.
5. The Wedding Day: A Look That Lasts a Lifetime
On the big day, all decisions come together. A well-chosen and carefully tailored suit ensures that the groom looks effortlessly elegant from the first glance to the last dance. Pairing it with timeless accessories, such as a silk tie, elegant cufflinks, and polished leather shoes, completes the refined aesthetic unless you have opted for a casual dress code, in which case you may let the suit do all the talking.
Your wedding day is one of the most significant moments of your life, and your suit should reflect that. With the right design, impeccable tailoring, and attention to detail, your wedding attire becomes a symbol of timeless elegance and commitment to yourself and your loved one.
Roberto Vicentti is committed to creating suits that honour tradition while embracing modern sophistication ensuring that every groom walks down the aisle with impressive charm, making memories in a suit that feels as special as the occasion itself.
