At Whitfield & Ward, we’re proud to be known as wedding suit specialists, a distinction we’ve earned over a decade of singular focus. While traditional tailors have pivoted to weddings in recent years due to the decline in business suiting, we’ve always remained dedicated to one thing: creating exceptional bespoke wedding suits and tuxedos.
Why Wedding Suits Require a Different Approach
A wedding suit isn’t just another suit, it’s an emotionally driven, collaborative purchase. Unlike business suits, which are often functional and solo decisions, wedding suits involve a shared vision with brides, parents, and groomsmen. Designing a wedding suit means understanding the venue, the theme, and most importantly, ensuring the groom stands out on his special day.
Our strength lies in bespoke tailoring that celebrates the significance of the occasion.
Why Grooms Choose Bespoke
Today’s grooms are seeking more than just formalwear; they want a look that matches the importance of the day. Many don’t own a suit, so a wedding becomes the perfect moment to invest in something exceptional.
A bespoke wedding suit allows the groom to:
- – Complement the bride’s glamour and have their moment of equal impact.
- – Set themselves apart from guests wearing standard 3-piece suits.
- – Wear something truly unique that no one else will have.
- – Enjoy a major confidence boost from a garment tailored to flatter their body and complexion.
- – Experience the benefit of attention to detail in every stitch, silhouette, and style choice.
- – Create a standout look that becomes one of the most memorable parts of the day.
Why Grooms Choose Whitfield & Ward
What sets us apart is not just what we make, but how we make it an experience. Each journey begins with a one-hour personal consultation where we explore your wedding plans and help you try on sample suits to understand fit, style, and the feel of true bespoke tailoring.
Unlike other tailors who rush the design process or rely solely on cloth books, we give you space and time to explore your vision. Our design appointment is a two-hour collaborative process led by Craig, our design expert, who uses his knowledge of body shape, proportions, and colour theory to guide you through every detail, including lapels, jacket length, pocket angles, colours, and more.
We don’t believe in house styles or generic designs. Every element is tailored to you, and the process is entirely interactive. From your very first appointment to final collection, we ensure every design decision is made with attention to detail, resulting in a garment that is as personal as it is polished.
The Bespoke Tuxedo: Confidence and Elegance in Equal Measure
While many opt for the classic 3-piece suit, others seek the sophistication of a bespoke tuxedo. Our bespoke tuxedos are designed to flatter your build and elevate your confidence on the most photographed day of your life.
A bespoke tuxedo is ideal if you want to:
- – Stand out from guests in everyday suits.
- – Match the formality and style of the bride and the overall event.
- – Create a red-carpet moment that’s timeless and unforgettable.
- – Feel empowered, calm, and proud as you walk down the aisle.
Each tuxedo is created using over 40 individual measurements and designed to suit your personality, venue, and complexion. It’s your vision, brought to life with expert guidance, elegant design, and an emphasis on luxurious fabrics.
The Whitfield & Ward Experience
Your wedding day deserves a suit that reflects its significance. That’s why our approach is more than tailoring, it’s a creative journey. At Whitfield & Ward, our tailoring services are designed to deliver a result that’s flattering, unique, and utterly personal.
Your journey begins in our Cheshire showroom with a one-hour consultation to explore your vision. We’ll guide you through sample suits and ideas, helping you understand what works for your body and style. From there, a dedicated two-hour design appointment ensures every detail, fabric, cut, colour, and fit, is exactly right.
Our suits are shaped using full or half-canvassed construction, ensuring they move naturally with the body while maintaining an elegant drape. Every option, from personal embroidery to custom lining, is crafted with precision and attention to detail.
Tuxedos for Every Wedding Theme
We’ve created bespoke tuxedos for every kind of celebration, from city weddings to intimate destination ceremonies. Whatever your theme or venue, we ensure your tuxedo suits the tone and enhances your overall aesthetic.
We also offer suit hire services for groomsmen and best men, so your entire party can be perfectly coordinated with your bespoke look.
