Wedding Suit Shopping Top Tips

Finding the time to get everyone together to look for suits can be time consuming and stressful. Your big day is fast approaching and your partner has had their wedding day look sorted for months, but do not worry, we have the answer!

The National Wedding Show is the ultimate one-stop destination for groomsmen to sort everything – from aftershave and cufflinks to a perfectly tailored suit.

 

When you arrive at the show, head straight for the brands and suppliers you have been desperate to get an appointment with for an immediate face-to-face conversation about what it is you’re looking for and your budget. In spring 2023, The National Wedding Show is hosting some of the biggest menswear brands in the business, such as Slaters, Viggo Menswear, Peter Posh and many more.

What’s on at The National Wedding Show for Groomsmen?

1. The Wedding Suits Catwalk Show

If you’re not sure what kind of wedding look you want to go for, or you’ve never really been to a suit fitting, head over to the catwalk stage and get some inspiration from the top brands and suppliers. Then, have a chat with the suppliers at their stand about how to replicate the looks.

2. Exclusive On-Site Offers and Deals

We know that weddings are expensive, purchasing everything from tablecloths to the honeymoon it can be hard to budget effectively. At the show, many of the menswear brands have exclusive offers and discounts for customers they meet at the show. This means that the money you save on suits and shoes, you can spend on a special honeymoon gift for your partner (or on that stag party experience you’ve spotted three stands away… up to you).

3. Advice at the WEDTalk Stage

The WEDTalks are one of the most popular events at the show. The best experts in the business give top advice on planning, budgeting and the all important suit shopping. It can be easy to push getting your wedding suit aside until the final moment, once you know your budget, and once you’ve hit the gym a few times. However, the show’s experts give you a realistic timeline of when you should choose your supplier, pick your suit out, have your measurements taken, and how long certain materials will take to arrive if you are having a bespoke suit tailor made.

When are the Shows on?

In spring 2023, The National Wedding Show will be at NEC Birmingham 3-5 March, and ExCeL London 1-2 April. Both shows are within striking distance of efficient transport links, accommodation and incredible nights out in two of the UK’s biggest cities.

So, get things ticked off your to-do list and start making the planning journey a whole lot smoother by coming to the show in spring 2023.
