The Groom's Attire - When to start looking?

Clare, on August 26, 2020 at 1:29 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 7

My fiance and I are going to be legally married this year, since our large wedding was postponed until next year. Since we moved it, our BIG planning stopped and we started planning for the tiny immediate family-only ceremony, which OMG was so much easier to plan than the large one. I have my dress for the event, but he doesn't have his suit.

Question is, how far in advance do you need to rent/try on/order suits? I have zero experience with suit rentals, but I assume you don't need to go on the hunt months ahead of time like the dresses...What is a good timeline to start suit shopping?

    We bought my FH's suit at the end of July for our October wedding.

    Depending if you need a certain color, you may want to reach out to a vendor now and ask their opinion. It depends on where you live and what their busy season is.

    Decide what style you like first. Then talk to the rental shop and see what timeline they suggest based on current events. You could easily start anytime and get it out of the way.

    We are also getting married in October...so hopefully we can get a suit in time! How long did it take for your FH's suit to arrive?

    We are doing a rental. We put a deposit down with a rental place in January for our October wedding. They were having a special at a wedding show and we got free wedding invites. They told us to come back 1-2 months before the wedding for guys to get measurements. Then they will go back 2 days before to get fitted.

    We started doing try ons around 8 months out. We went into 3 stores, and did three online try ons. We picked a company 4 months out, told the groomsmen, and they had 3 months to rent theirs.

    Ask the company you plan on renting from. Every company is different.
