In this blog post we will show you the advantages of made-to-measure for men at weddings and give you valuable planning tips for the 2023 wedding season. We will also take a look at the latest trends for wedding suits and inform you about the move of the Christian Weilert Made-to-Measure atelier to Bahnstraße 17.
Advantages of made-to-measure
Individual fit
A perfect fit is an important factor when choosing a suit, especially when it comes to special occasions such as weddings. A made-to-measure suit is matched exactly to the groom's individual body measurements in order to guarantee a perfect fit. Made-to-measure tailors take the groom's body proportions and posture into account to make sure that the suit fits perfectly and sets the right accents. A good fit not only provides wearing comfort, it also gives the groom a feeling of confidence and elegance.
Choice of fabric and design
The choice of fabric and design is another important advantage of made-to-measure. The groom can choose from a wide range of fabrics, patterns and colors in order to shape his suit according to his own ideas and wishes. From traditional fabrics such as wool and linen through to modern materials such as silk - the options are almost unlimited. The design of the suit can be adapted as well, to reflect the groom's personal style. From the number of buttons through to details such as pockets and cuffs - everything can be adapted to create an individual and unique suit.
Time saving and convenience
Although a made-to-measure suit is generally more expensive than an off-the-peg suit, it is a worthwhile investment in the groom's wardrobe. A made-to-measure suit is more durable and more resistant to wear than a ready-made suit, which means that it can be worn for years. On top of that, opting for a made-to-measure suit saves time and stress during the search for a suitable suit. Instead of visiting many shops and spending hours trying on different suits, the groom can make an appointment with a tailor and receive a suit that is cut perfectly to his needs straight away.
Planning tips for made-to-measure suits for men at weddings
Important factors in the planning
In addition, please note that the standard delivery time for made-to-measure is generally 6-8 weeks. However, because of, it can be advisable to allow even more time. We therefore recommend starting the planning at least 12 to 16 weeks before the wedding date, in order to ensure on-time delivery of the made-to-measure suit and to be able to make any alterations or adjustments.
Tips on organization and budgeting
In order to have the suit in hand on time for the wedding, the groom should also keep an eye on the budget and the organization. It can be helpful to find out about the costs and the production process in advance. You should also give some thought to accessories such as shoes, tie or cufflinks in order to create a coherent overall picture.
