Looking for your wedding suit!
As a groom, you are naturally looking for the perfect suit for an unforgettable wedding day. Above all, buying a wedding suit should be a fun experience. But what can you expect on such a first appointment? In this blog, we will explain as much as we can!
Timing is everything!
A huge amount of time goes into organising a wedding. Once you have set the date, there are a number of things that need to be arranged in good time. So one of the most frequently asked questions is: "How long in advance should I start picking out my wedding suit?" Picking out a wedding suit is a bit different from buying jeans. Once you have succeeded in choosing your suit, you don't just walk out of the shop with it. You may have found a beautiful suit but want it in a different colour, so we still have to order your suit. Of course, your suit must also fit perfectly, which is why our atelier always makes your suit to size. We therefore advise you to make your first appointment at least 4 months before your wedding. Then we can make sure you can look forward to your wedding day without any stress. Have you made an appointment but are unable to attend? Then we would really appreciate it if you could cancel your appointment 24 hours in advance so that we can adjust our planning accordingly.
The first appointment
When you visit Koonings, you will be welcomed by our hostesses in the main hall where you and your entourage can take a seat. This is where your personal stylist will pick you up and you will go together to our men's department. Then comes the moment where you can discuss your wishes and budget with your stylist. It is always nice for the stylist if you have some photos of the suits you like. This will quickly give the stylist a good idea of what suits you. If your fiancé has also bought a wedding dress or a wedding suit at Koonings, a big advantage is that your stylist can also look at what suits your fiancé's wedding dress or suit without telling you what your fiancé's wedding outfit looks like! After this, you and the stylist will go into the shop together to look for wedding suits you want to try on. Nice to know: an average appointment takes about 1.5 hours. If you are unable to make your choice during this first appointment, you are of course always welcome to make another appointment later. In that case, the stylist will note which suits you have tried on and what you might be unsure about so that she or a colleague can help you as much as possible next time.
Your entourage
Picking out a wedding suit is obviously a special moment and certainly adds to the anticipation of your wedding day. Your appointment is therefore not complete without the people who are important to you and who can give you sincere and honest advice. On average, a groom takes about 4 people with him as entourage. Of course, you can always bring more people, everyone is welcome at Koonings. Our experience is that a large entourage does not always make the choice of a wedding suit easier. Many people make for many opinions. For us, it is very nice to know in advance how many people your entourage consists of. We can then take this into account when planning the fitting rooms.
Don't forget...
...to enjoy! Everything is ready for your appointment. So you don't need to bring anything but good sense and your entourage. We have everything in our men's department to provide you with a complete look. From head to toe you will be dressed and styled with shoes, tie, cufflinks and other accessories. Perhaps you already have accessories you would like to wear on your wedding day. In that case, you can of course bring them to your appointment. Do you already have an idea of what your wedding suit should look like? Your stylist likes it if you can show pictures of suits you like. You can see an indication of the suits from our collection on this page. Of course, you can also search on google for styles you like.
