morning
Getting ready
The waistcoat keeps the line when the jacket comes off. A light blue tie and a white pocket square are enough in daylight.

How it works
Your wedding suit will be in every photograph of the day.
We make the groom's suit to your measurements. Tell us about the wedding: a quinta in the countryside or a palace in Sintra, a ceremony at noon or a dinner by candlelight, June heat or an autumn evening. That decides what we make. A three-piece suits the ceremony and the daylight; a tuxedo belongs to the evening. Many grooms wear both.
You choose the cloth from the books of Reda, Vitale Barberis Canonico and Loro Piana, then the lapels, buttons and lining. Your initials can be embroidered inside the jacket.

João & Maria · Penha Longa, Sintra
One wedding day, two suits
João wore a navy three-piece for the morning and the ceremony, and a black tuxedo for the evening. What matters in each part of a long day.
noon
The ceremony
Jacket buttoned. This is when every guest looks at the groom, and when the fit shows most.
afternoon
Sunset photographs
In low sun the photographer sees the silhouette: shoulder, waist, trouser length. Any extra fold will be in the frame, so we finish the fit at the fitting.
evening
Dinner and dancing
At the table and on the dance floor, the trousers matter most: they have to stay in place all night.

Wedding in Portugal
Andrew & Anastasia
Andrew married in an ivory double-breasted dinner jacket. In the morning it hung by the window next to a black bow tie; for the ceremony a white rose went on the lapel.

Wedding in Portugal
Ilya & Helena
Ilya chose a black suit rather than a tuxedo, with a bow tie. From the garden ceremony to the cake under the string lights, he wore the same suit all day.
- Jacket
- black, classic lapel
- Shirt
- white, with cufflinks
Details
What every photograph shows
Lapel
A black tuxedo has satin lapels; an ivory dinner jacket usually has lapels in its own cloth. The boutonnière and the bow tie sit right next to it, so the lapel comes first.
Cuff
A double cuff with cufflinks, showing about a centimetre below the jacket sleeve.
Waistband
Side adjusters instead of a belt. The trousers sit at the waist and stay there when you sit down and dance.
Bow tie
A bow tie you tie yourself looks more natural than a pre-tied one.

Our advice
Plan the suit early. It is one of the most important days of your life, and we want to rule out anything unexpected: a delayed cloth, an extra fitting, a change in weight before the wedding. The earlier you come in, the calmer the last weeks will be.

Questions
What grooms ask
How much does a wedding suit cost?
A made-to-measure groom's suit starts from €1,500 in Reda cloth; Vitale Barberis Canonico and Loro Piana cost more. Tuxedos from our collection are €1,850–1,950, with a free alteration.
How far in advance should I order?
Come in about three months before the wedding. The suit takes five to eight weeks with one fitting, and the rest is a margin in case anything changes.
Tuxedo or three-piece suit?
A tuxedo is for the evening: the dinner and the party. For a daytime ceremony or a wedding outdoors, most grooms choose a three-piece. Many wear both.
I live abroad. Can I still have a suit made in Lisbon?
Yes. Tell us your wedding date and when you will be in Portugal, and we plan the first appointment and the fitting around your trips.
Can I wear an ivory dinner jacket?
Yes, especially in summer and at a wedding outside the city. It is worn with black trousers, a white shirt and a black bow tie.
Can you embroider my initials?
Yes, inside the jacket. We discuss it at the first appointment.
Can you dress the groomsmen and the father of the groom?
Yes. We make suits to measure for the groomsmen and the father of the groom too. Tell us the date and how many people when you book.
