How a groom can complement his bride

September 10, 2025

Picture the scene, 

You have finally found the one you want to spend the rest of your life with, have spent months, if not years getting to know her, have laughed and cried together and grown together and now successfully gone through the milestone of asking the father of your bride for her hand in marriage. 

Bride vs Groom

Your bride all excited begins to set herself a to do list and starts on the preparations right away, excitedly going through every detail from place mats to flowers to invites and guest lists, but by far she is most excited about her wedding dress and is focused on simply looking stunning for her man on their big day. 

Whilst the groom may think there isn’t much he can do to help his bride with the arrangements as he has no idea about theme and colours and venues, he can however affirm to her that he is just as excited about getting married to the love of his life by creating his own to do list on how to complement and match his bride’s immaculate appearance. 

The Bespoke wedding suit

Not every groom is aware that there are bridal shops for men still around, so you don’t have to simply make do with an ill fitting off the peg suit that embarrasses your bride on your big day and every time the wedding album is passed around friends and family.

A bespoke wedding suit vs off-the-peg

The process of having a bespoke wedding suit is likened to the bride having her wedding dress fittings. 

Working by appointment we at Hendersons Bespoke Tailors in Nottingham take out all the confusion of the right etiquette of wearing a suit and will guide you through the process of picking the right fabric, style and suit details as well as offer our experience at coordinating your garment to fit into your wedding theme and match your bride not only in theme but in impeccable detail and standards as your bride’s wedding dress. 

A custom-made suit is just that, custom-made just for you from scratch. An off-the-peg suit is made to a standard size based on basic set standard measurements.

It’s a special process 

The whole process takes weeks to perfect, just as the wedding dress does and you can invite your best-man to join you on your journey of commissioning your own bespoke suit just as the bride invites her maid of honour.

We can advise on shoe colour, how to tie your tie, how to wear your top pocket handkerchief and so much more.

It’s an enjoyable process as well as giving you the opportunity to compare notes with your bride, proving to her you are as interested and committed as she is. Two becoming one.

Start your Journey

Every Hendersons bespoke tailored garment begins with a relaxed consultation over a cup of English tea or coffee, where Abel and Truth spend time discussing your thoughts and ideas around your occasion and where your master piece begins to take shape.

Whether you’re commissioning your first bespoke suit or adding to a long-standing wardrobe, we look forward to welcoming you.
