On grooms’ style, mood boards, and behind the scenes conversations!
Grooms’ stories are important. I love watching how couples respond to the events of a wedding day – and I don’t know what it is about grooms that means they so often wear their hearts on their sleeves. Pre-ceremony nerves can be so clear to see in photos – and then, the formality if there’s a traditional or church ceremony looks as overwhelming as it is emotional.
My favourite part of weddings with grooms is just after the ceremony. When vows are spoken, rings exchanged, and they step outside, away from everyone – the breath of relief and visible relaxation into party mode makes me smile every single time.
I’ve always used grooms’ suits as an early hint to the entire style of a wedding – when photographers send me galleries, as I start scrolling – and often before I see flowers or styling or a dress (if there is one) the choice of suits tells me if a wedding will be modern, classic, creative, colourful, beautifully styled and detailed, or minimal and elegant. I love seeing wedding suits and grooms’ accessories: they mean as much to me as a wedding blogger as dresses and bridal wear. There, I said it. Sue me.
So this press release from MOSS made me smile, then squirm, then engage in a fab conversation with their lovely PR person. (The models’ expressions are priceless.) The title is theirs…
Why the Groom’s Suit Earns Its Place on the Mood Board
… I mean, let’s style the mood board around the groom’s suit, why not?! Start there!
Anyway. Some super useful tips for wedding tailoring which I’m delighted to share for MOSS, while behind the scenes I’m having a chat about more groom talk and features to come!
MOSS’s latest collection of wedding-appropriate tailoring – classic tuxedos, elegant double-breasted suits, seasonal shades, breezy linens – shows how the suit should be front of mind when planning a wedding.
Through colour, fit and fabric, the groom’s suit can shape the entire celebration, from wedding party looks to the wildest receptions (and the photos that follow). And like a bride, how confident a groom looks and feels can hinge on a great outfit.
With this in mind, Moss has highlighted a few things to consider when selecting a suit.
Expertise Within Reach
A nationwide store network makes coordinating the groom and wedding party simpler, with convenient local fittings and easy access for everyone involved.
Comfortable Options for the Wedding Party
No two wedding parties are the same. Planning early allows time to explore styles and service options, such as hire, that work for different body shapes and budgets.
Location, Location, Location
The venue matters as much as the suit itself. Destination weddings call for more relaxed silhouettes that move easily in warmer climates. Formal settings and traditional ceremonies benefit from sharper tailoring, structured fits, and classic styling.
Whatever the Weather
Let seasonality guide fabric choice. Summer ceremonies benefit from airy linens, while spring weddings suit classic wools and luxurious Italian fabrics for timeless elegance. Considering seasonality early will ensure your suit feels comfortable throughout the day.
Set it Apart
Personalisation transforms a wedding suit from a one-day outfit into something meaningful. Thoughtful accessories, styling choices and custom made options help create a look that feels cohesive with the wider aesthetic, while still allowing room for individual style.
