Craft Your Perfect Wedding Look
At Whitfield and Ward, we understand that your wedding day is one of the most significant moments of your life. Every detail should be a reflection of your individuality, style, and aspirations. Choosing a bespoke wedding tuxedo is not merely about looking smart; it is about embodying confidence, sophistication, and authenticity on your most memorable day. Our bespoke service ensures that your tuxedo is meticulously crafted to fit your physique, your personality, and the occasion.
Why Choose a Bespoke Wedding Tuxedo?
A bespoke wedding tuxedo offers a level of fit, comfort, and personalisation that no off-the-peg garment can match. When you invest in bespoke tailoring, you are choosing more than an outfit; you are selecting an experience, a memorable part of your groom prep.
Our tuxedos are individually designed around you. From precise measurements to consultations that explore your vision, we work closely with you to ensure that your tuxedo complements your physique, your personality, and the wider theme of your wedding.
Unlike standard suits, a bespoke tuxedo moves with your body, maintains crisp lines throughout the day, and photographs beautifully. Every cut, seam, and button is positioned with purpose, resulting in unparalleled comfort and an impeccable silhouette.
Personalisation: Bringing Your Vision to Life
No two grooms are the same, and your wedding attire should be as unique as your love story. At Whitfield and Ward, personalisation options are virtually limitless.
Fabrics
Choose from a curated selection of the finest materials, sourced from prestigious mills across Britain, Italy, and beyond. Whether you prefer the timeless elegance of wool, the luxurious touch of cashmere blends, or the statement richness of velvet, we offer fabrics that suit every season and setting.
- Wool: Versatile and durable, ideal for all seasons.
- Cashmere Blends: For a softer, opulent feel.
- Velvet and Mohair: Perfect for evening glamour and black-tie sophistication.
- Linen: Ideal for relaxed, summer, or destination weddings.
Colours
While black remains a timeless choice, many modern grooms are opting for alternative hues to express their individuality. The most popular choices are:
- Classic Black and Midnight Blue
- Glamorous White and Ivory
- Bold Emerald and Burgundy
Design Choices
From lapel styles to jacket shapes, every element can be tailored to your vision:
- Single-breasted or Double-breasted
- Peaked, Shawl, or Notch Lapels
- Satin, Grosgrain, or Textured Finishes
- Single-vented, double-vented or ventless jackets
Attention to detail is everything: consider personal embroidery inside the jacket, custom buttons, or a bespoke printed lining that tells a personal story.

Style Inspirations and Trends for 2025
Bespoke wedding tuxedos evolve with the times, and 2025 sees a blend of tradition and innovation.
Bold Colours
While classic black remains evergreen, grooms are embracing richer tones like emerald green, deep burgundy, and midnight blue with contrasting satin lapels. These colours provide a unique yet sophisticated twist.
Textured Fabrics
Velvet jackets, particularly in darker tones, are seeing a resurgence for evening weddings. Jacquard patterns add elegance for formal ceremonies.
Double-Breasted Jackets
A nod to timeless elegance, the double-breasted tuxedo is back, offering a powerful silhouette with heritage sophistication.
