The Groom
For the day you say yes.
A journey by appointment, from the first meeting to the final fitting, so that you live your day with ease, comfortable in every detail.
Since 1948
A wedding suit is not chosen. It is recognised.
Every groom arrives at the atelier with a date, a venue, an idea. The first meeting begins with listening: the ceremony, the hour, the character you wish to give the day.
From there we look for the right suit, with the care of those who know the value of a clean line and a shoulder that sits just so. No haste, no excess: only what feels like you.
The styles
Every ceremony has its own code.
The choice depends on the hour, the venue and the tone of the day. These are the codes we most often recommend, and the moment each one belongs to.
The morning coat
Daytime ceremony
The most classic form for morning and early-afternoon weddings: cutaway coat, striped trousers, waistcoat. Solemn without being stiff.
The tailcoat
Evening ceremony · White tie
The height of formality, reserved for the evening: tailcoat, white piqué waistcoat and white bow tie. For ceremonies that call for grandeur.
The dinner suit
Evening · Black tie
Evening elegance at its most essential: satin lapels, black bow tie, a clean line. For those who marry at sunset or celebrate late into the night.
The dark suit
Day and evening
Midnight blue, charcoal, grey: the most versatile choice, made ceremonial by its details. As fitting for a civil ceremony as for a church, in town or in the countryside.
The three-piece
With waistcoat
Jacket, trousers and matching waistcoat: a touch of rigour that stays impeccable even when, later in the celebration, the jacket comes off.
The journey
From the first meeting to the day you say yes.
- 01
The first meeting
A dedicated appointment, unhurried. You tell us about the ceremony, the venue, the season and what you have in mind. We listen before we suggest.
- 02
Choosing the style
Together we settle on the right code, the line, the colour, the cloth. Then the details: shirt, tie or bow tie, waistcoat, cufflinks, pocket square, shoes.
- 03
The fittings
We try, we observe, we refine. Each fitting brings the suit closer to you: in posture, in movement, in the way it feels to wear.
- 04
Tailoring care
Tailoring adjustments refine lengths, shoulders and waist until every line falls as it should. It is the work no one sees, and the work that makes the difference.
- 05
The day you say yes
The suit is ready, the details in place. All that remains is to wear it and live the day, knowing that everything has been considered.
The wedding party
Around the groom, a shared elegance.
Best men, fathers of the couple, page boys: when those beside you are dressed in harmony with you, the ceremony gains coherence, and the photographs tell it better.
We can coordinate the whole party at the atelier, with dedicated appointments: the same tones, the same level of formality, small details that tie everyone to the groom without making them identical.
The best men
Beside the groom, one step behind. Suits in dialogue with his, in a complementary tone.
The fathers of the couple
A sober, assured elegance in keeping with the day's code: morning coat for a daytime wedding, a dark suit or dinner suit for the evening.
The mothers of the couple
Feminine elegance in harmony with the day, from the morning ceremony to the evening celebration.
The page boys
The youngest of the party, in outfits made for their age: elegant, comfortable, equal to the occasion.
The details
What completes the suit.
It is the details that make a suit truly yours. We choose them together, with restraint.
The shirt
White or ivory, with the right collar for a tie or a bow tie. A double cuff to take cufflinks.
Tie or bow tie
A tie for the day, a bow tie for the evening: black with a dinner suit, white with a tailcoat. The knot, always discreet.
The waistcoat
With a morning coat or in a three-piece, it gives the figure structure and the whole look order.
Cufflinks
A small piece of jewellery, often a gift or a family keepsake. Barely seen, and all the more meaningful for it.
The pocket square
Folded simply, in silk or linen. It complements the tie without matching it.
Shoes
Calf-leather Oxfords, or patent for the evening. New, but already worn in: you will be on your feet for much of the day.
Advice
A few words of advice before you begin.
How far ahead should I start?
We recommend starting a few months before the wedding. That leaves time to choose calmly, to have the fittings you need and to see to the adjustments without any rush.
What should I bring to the first appointment?
Whatever helps tell the story of the day: the venue and time of the ceremony, a few images that inspire you, an idea of the colours chosen. If you already have them, bring the shoes you plan to wear.
May I bring someone with me?
Of course. A best man, a parent, someone whose judgement you trust: an honest opinion is precious. We only suggest keeping the group small, so that the meeting stays calm.
How do I choose between a morning coat, a tailcoat and a dinner suit?
What matters most is the hour and the tone of the ceremony. The morning coat belongs to the day, the tailcoat and dinner suit to the evening; the dark suit is the most versatile choice. At the first meeting we help you find the right code.
Can you dress the best men and fathers too?
Yes. Coordinating the party at the atelier is the simplest way to achieve a harmonious whole. We can arrange dedicated appointments, even on different days from yours.
What if my measurements change before the wedding?
It happens often, and it is expected. That is why we suggest scheduling the final fitting close to the date: every measurement is then refined with tailoring adjustments.
