Winter Wedding Suits: Your Ultimate Guide

Winter weddings are an opportunity to make a statement about your style and finding the right suits for your wedding party can change your whole colour scheme and theme. Whether you’re the groom or a wedding guest, getting your suit right will give you the confidence you need to take you from the ceremony to the dance floor and we can help you find the best options for your event, your physique and your budget.

A winter wedding is the ideal place to showcase a new look without worrying about getting overheated or sweating too much in hot weather. You can make the most of the season with a daring colour choice or opt for a traditional style that promises timeless sophistication. Here, we’ll explore the hot colour choices this winter and share our top tips for turning heads in your wedding attire.

Winter Suit Design

When you’re wearing a suit to a wedding in winter, you need to make sure you’ll be warm all day long and considering your fabric choice is a great place to start. Darker colours are in this season, and we love the double-breasted styles and waistcoats that give you an extra layer to keep you snug all day. The winter lends itself to colours such as deep reds, dark greens and rich navy shades, as well as the classic black and dark grey options.

Most winter suits may be neutral in colour but you can accessorise them to change up your look and add a pop of colour to your outfit with your tie, pocket square or shirt. Alternatively, you can embrace the chance to try something completely different and opt for a bright or patterned suit fabric that will stand out from the crowd. Tweed suits are a good choice, made from high quality fabric that is warm and looks great, or a traditional tartan can be the perfect solution, allowing you to experiment with colours as you wish.

Winter Wedding Themes

Opting for a winter wedding means you can really lean into the theme and include beautiful touches such as snow, evergreen foliage and candles. You can follow the thread of this theme throughout the day, including the outfits you choose for your wedding party, and there are some striking options available. For instance, monochromatic themes look great in the winter, making the most of black or navy suits.

Festive touches often add a little bit of extra glamour to the proceedings, and we love the deep red and green fabrics that are available at this time of the year. If you’re not feeling brave enough to wear a coloured suit, you can add small touches, such as bow ties, ties or pocket squares in seasonal colours to bring the look to life. Metallic accents are another great option, and you can simply add a pair of silver or gold cufflinks, or a statement watch to introduce a little festive sparkle – or swap your classic black bow tie for a sparkly number once you hit the dance floor and brighten up your photographs!
