Whether you’re heading to a garden ceremony, coastal celebration or destination “I do,” these wedding looks prove that formalwear in summer doesn’t mean sacrificing style. Think linen blazers, soft tailoring, and confident colour – all from our Real Couples section and the ateliers that helped them stand out.
In a season of sunshine vows and golden-hour toasts, summer weddings call for suiting that’s both refined and relaxed. From city chic to countryside cool, our grooms have nailed the brief – and then some.
Across The Wedding Edition’s Real Couples pages, we’ve spotted standout tailoring moments from the likes of Thom Sweeney, Favourbrook, Neal & Palmer and more. Linen suiting, pastel palettes and softly structured blazers are the order of the day – proving that tailoring, when done right, doesn’t need to feel stuffy in the summer sun.
