On wedding forums, we hear all about brides, yet all too little about grooms! Today, I wanted to give the men some of the attention they deserve. After all (and perhaps despite popular belief haha), it is also their wedding day and our grooms are also dressing to the nines for this special occasion. So, let’s dive in and answer a few questions about how and when to go suit shopping for a wedding!

When to Go Suit Shopping for a Wedding?

Buying a suit is oftentimes less particular than a wedding dress, but that doesn’t mean it should be left for the last minute. Most suit shops will suggest that the groom go suit shopping at least four months before the big wedding date. This allows time to get measured, order the suit and have plenty of time left for any necessary alterations.

Where to Buy or Rent a Suit?

Whether you’re buying or renting, a suit or tuxedo is an investment, and you want to make sure you look and feel your best. Here are a few of my top suggestions to help get you started!
