Your daughter's wedding is a special moment. And as the father of the bride, your presence must be as striking as it is subtle. Your suit should reflect the solemnity of the event without overshadowing the groom. It's all about finding the perfect balance between elegance, comfort, and stylistic consistency, taking into account your body shape, the season, and the style of the ceremony.
2- or 3-piece suit: what to choose for a wedding?
The choice depends on the role played and the formality of the event. The occasion requires a harmonious attire and a coordinated outfit, depending on the importance of the event. As the father of the bride, you cannot wear a tuxedo if the wedding is bohemian in style. You should also avoid short-sleeved shirts, which are so popular with older men on warm days.
The 2-piece suit remains a modern classic, ideal for a father of the bride who wants to be elegant without overdoing it.
For a more sophisticated look, you can opt for a three-piece suit, provided the groom only wears a two-piece suit, to respect the visual balance of the wedding party.


Choose the right cut based on your body type.
Whether you are slender, of average build, or more substantial, the suit should hug your curves without restricting:
- Slim figures: a slim cut and moderate lapels provide structure without adding rigidity.
- Broad shoulders or a pronounced belly: favor a straight cut while maintaining appropriate proportions and lengths.
The goal? To feel completely comfortable throughout the day, from speeches to dance steps.
The best colors to choose.
Avoid colors that are too dark or too bright. Black, for example, is too ceremonial (or even funereal). Opt for understated and elegant tones like navy blue, charcoal gray, light beige, or linen shades, which are popular for summer weddings.
The key? Don't wear the same color as the groom. It's always a good idea to discuss this with him beforehand.

The right accessories for a polished look.
A father-of-the-bride suit stands out with its discreet yet refined details:
- A solid white shirt,
- Tie or bow tie, depending on your style,
- A single patterned piece to maintain elegance (tie or bow tie, leave the pocket square in your shirt’s tone),
- Understated Oxford shoes, matching belt,
- Cufflinks for the finishing touch.
