It’s not all about the dress; stylish grooms have lots of options when hunting for their wedding day outfits too.
Scotland’s tailors, kiltmakers and menswear specialists are ready and waiting for you to create your perfect wedding day look!
TAILOR MADE
Depending on what level of bespoke you’re planning on going, you should start shopping around two to five months before your wedding day.
Do your research using Instagram and Pinterest – you might find a common thread running through the looks you Pin or save, and that could help you when choosing your own outfit.
It’s also a good idea to have a conversation with your partner before you embark on your shopping trip.
Of course, you can still keep your outfit a surprise, but most couples tie in colours and styles so that there’s a coherent look.
You don’t want to turn up in a kilt with boots and slouch socks if your bride is dressed for a glam black tie affair!
YOUR BEST LOOK
Have you set a budget for groomswear?
A made-to-measure suit will cost more than something off-the-rack, so be aware of different price points before you head into a shop.
Be upfront about your budget; the salesperson will be able to show you things that are within that.
A day out shopping for wedding outfits can apply to grooms as well as brides! Take your dad or best man with you to be your guide.
Make sure the person you take will give you a real, honest opinion – it helps if they’re stylish, too! Avoid bringing a big squad of pals though – too many people will be overwhelming.
TO KILT OR NOT TO KILT?
If you’re getting married in Scotland or are Scottish, then the kilt is an option to consider.
Picking the right kilt outfit for your wedding can be tricky. Do you want to make it formal or casual? Should you buy or rent? Which jacket works best?
Luckily, we have some extremely knowledgeable wedding kilt shops in Scotland, so your best bet is to make an appointment and ask the experts.
They will be able to advise you on everything, from clan tartans to flashes, kilt pins to Sgian Dubhs!
SUITS YOU
If a suit is more your style then choose one of Scotland’s leading tailors to craft a timeless piece that you can treasure forever.
You can be as involved as you like in the process, from the lining to the cut.
Groomswear shouldn’t be an afterthought. Your outfit is just as important as the bride’s!
Make sure you plan in advance, leave plenty of time to get what you want, and really think about what you’d like your wedding day style to be – something unique, just like you!
