Gone are the days when every bride walked down the aisle wearing a demure, white, floor-length gown, her face covered with a diaphanous veil.
Bridal suits have become hugely popular with women who, for whatever reason, don’t want to don a dress when they tie the knot.
Part of the ‘alternative bridalwear’ trend, tailoring is ideal for brides who don’t want a cookie-cutter wedding like everyone else’s.
Others choose a low-key tailored look for the registry office or legal ceremony, then don a showstopping gown for the main event.
There are lots of benefits to choosing a bridalwear suit. Not only will you stand out from the crowd, you’ll look cool and feel at ease on your special day (corseted gowns, on the other hand, aren’t exactly comfy).
You’re likely to get a lot more wear post-wedding out of a white suit or jumpsuit than you are a floor-sweeping dress, and there’s a wide range to choose from, whether you prefer a loose, laidback cut, or a figure-hugging silhouette.
Plus, you can find some incredible suits for a lot less than the price of the average wedding gown.
