Group tailoring for a wedding party is one of our most rewarding services at Manhattan Tailors. When every member of the group wears a suit made specifically for their body — regardless of size or build — the photographs are extraordinary and the day is more comfortable for everyone. Here is how we handle group wedding commissions.
How Group Bespoke Works
For a wedding party of three or more, we hold a group consultation session at our Nathan Road atelier. All measurements are taken on the same day or across two consecutive days, ensuring everyone is processed simultaneously and garments are timed for completion together. Our master cutter manages each individual's fitting requirements independently — a groomsman who is 6'4" requires very different adjustments to one who is 5'8" and broad-shouldered.
The brief for a group commission is typically: same cloth, coordinated but individually tailored. For example, the groom in midnight navy double-breasted with peaked lapels; groomsmen in the same midnight navy but single-breasted with notch lapels. Or matching grey trousers with slightly different jacket cuts. The details are discussed at the group consultation.
Fabric Selection for Wedding Groups
Choosing a fabric that works on a range of body types and skin tones is important for group commissions. Navy blue and charcoal grey are universally flattering. Lighter colours — mid-grey, cream, light blue — work best for summer weddings in good light. We advise strongly against highly distinctive patterns (bold checks, wide stripes) for groomsmen suits — they suit the groom as an individual choice but can be overwhelming across a group of five or six.
All group commissions use cloth from the same bolt where possible, ensuring colour and texture are perfectly matched across all garments.
Timeline for Group Commissions
We recommend a minimum of ten to twelve weeks before the wedding date for a group commission, to allow all members' fittings to be accommodated within our production schedule. For overseas groomsmen who cannot attend in-person fittings, we accommodate remote measurement submissions with our postal fitting service for the most complex cases.
Group Pricing
Manhattan Tailors offers preferential pricing for group wedding commissions of three or more garments. The discount applies to each suit in the group and increases with the size of the party. Contact us for a group quote — we will prepare a detailed proposal based on your fabric preferences, party size and timeline requirements.
Making the Day Memorable
When every man in your wedding party looks and feels his absolute best — because his suit was made for his body specifically — it shows. Our clients regularly tell us that their wedding photographs are their proudest possession, and that the suits still hang in their wardrobes years later, worn to the most important occasions of their lives.
Book a group wedding consultation at Manhattan Tailors. We recommend contacting us as early as possible — ideally six months before the wedding date — to ensure full availability and a relaxed, enjoyable commission process.
