15 Stunning Custom Suit Designs for Grooms
Hear ye! Hear ye! The days of grooms renting cheap, ill-fitting, basic, and black suits are dead!
A renaissance of style, creativity, and fashion has come to formal wedding wear, and it is here to stay. While our fathers lived in a time where wedding style was all about the bride and her gown, grooms are now stepping up to the plate and taking the opportunity to wear the best look of their lives.
Particularly in Silicon Valley, men have fewer opportunities to wear a suit than ever before so they are going all-in on their wedding suit both to take advantage of the occasion and to create that one suit for their closet that they can wear to other events and occasions.
Here are the top 3 reasons men are investing in Custom Italian Suits for their wedding day:
1) The Perfect Fit. At Custom Italian Suit boutiques like Franco Uomo on Santana Row, design and fit are one. A perfectly fitted suit that conforms to the body and accentuates your physique requires a custom made-to-measure process as well as an on-site Master Tailor Studio to further sculpt the suit to the body. A perfectly fitted suit shows that a man has his life in order and is ready to take responsibility for himself and his partner. It is a moment of initiation from child to adult and represents the commitment being made.

2) A suit for life. Unlike the wedding dress, a bespoke suit is an investment in a suit that the groom can wear for the rest of their life. Custom suit makers like Franco Uomo offer free lifetime alterations to keep the suit fitting perfectly. Other accessories such as “removable lapels” can convert a special occasion wedding tuxedo with a silk lapel into a more traditional suit that is still perfectly fitted after the wedding to be worn to other occasions as well.
Groom Wayne wearing a Franco Uomo Signature Convertible Tuxedo: the traditionally business-centric grey windowpane shell fabric has been accessorized with a dual-tone silk paisley lapel that will be removed after the wedding to make his suit functional for work. Along with the Red and Snow White Paisley Silk Bow Tie, Luxe Egyptian Cotton Shirt with Custom Red buttons, and stacked Red and White Silk Pocket Squares, his look is fully prepared to dazzle and match his wedding ceremony and bride.
Groom Jacob is the King of his wedding wearing a classic grey 3-Piece Signature Franco Uomo Convertible Tuxedo. Accessorized with a dual-tone Woven-Silk Bow Tie, Luxe Egyptian Cotton Dress Shirt but custom grey buttons, and stacked Woven Silk Pocket Squares, the dual-tone Silk Paisley Peak Lapel will be removed after the wedding giving him a perfectly fitted classic grey suit.
Groom Robert wearing a Signature 3-Piece Convertible Franco Uomo Tuxedo. The dual-tone Woven-Silk Custom Bow Tie and Stacked Woven Silk Pocket Squares compliment his beautiful bride’s authentic gown while his dual-tone Paisley Silk Lapel will be removed after the wedding giving him a perfectly fitted traditional navy suit.
Groom Andrew nailed his wedding look a Custom Bow Tie featuring fabric from his Bride’s wedding gown. The Custom Bow Tie all features the dual-tone Paisley Silk fabric in his Tuxedo Lapel that will be removed after the wedding giving him a perfectly fitted Navy Windowpane 3-Piece Signature Franco Uomo Suit that he can wear to other weddings and occasions.
3) Individuality. A traditional black suit is what the “King’s Men” would wear; as in the bodyguard to the king. But at Franco Uomo, we believe that a groom shouldn’t be the bodyguard of his wedding, he should be the King. A personalized suit is an opportunity for the groom to show their individuality, competance, and dignity.
Groom Kenneth wore a Signature 3-Piece Franco Uomo Tuxedo featuring an ivory shawl lapel accentuated with fabric coated buttons and matching ivory waistcoat. His ivory woven-silk Bow Tie features a black satin shadow carried through with custom shirt buttons, cufflinks, and tuxedo pants.
