What Men Should Wear to Every Wedding Event

Weddings are made up of many unforgettable moments—each with its own dress code. Whether you’re the groom, part of the wedding party, or a well-dressed guest, every occasion deserves the right outfit. At Louis Copeland, we’re here to guide you through it all—offering both Made-to-Measure tailoring and expertly curated Off-the-Rack pieces that ensure you look your best at every turn.

Here’s how to dress with intention, confidence, and timeless elegance for every milestone—from engagement to honeymoon.

1. The Engagement Party

Effortless Sophistication with a Hint of Celebration

The first big moment often sets the tone. Whether you’re toasting with close friends or hosting a larger celebration, opt for something that feels sharp but relaxed.

Style Tips:

  • Pair a tailored blazer with smart chinos or dress trousers

  • A crisp shirt in soft cotton or textured fabric adds structure

  • Brown or black leather shoes polish off the look

Explore our Smart Casual Collection for ideal pieces, and finish your look with Formal Shirts and Leather Shoes from our accessories range.

2. The Rehearsal Dinner

Classic with a Touch of Personality

The rehearsal dinner is a chance to elevate your look with a bit more polish, without overshadowing the big day itself.

Style Tips:

  • Choose a soft-shouldered suit in navy, grey, or seasonal tones like olive

  • Swap the classic shirt for an open-collar option or fine-knit polo

  • Add a pocket square or patterned lining for personality

If you want a suit made just for you, explore our Made-to-Measure Service, or browse Off-the-Rack Suits that can be tailored in-store for a perfect fit.

3. The Wedding Day

Tailoring That Lives Up to the Moment

This is your day—and your outfit should rise to the occasion. Whether the vibe is black tie, country chic, or destination elegance, we’ll ensure your look feels personal and polished.

Style Tips:

  • A three-piece suit or tuxedo creates timeless impact

  • For warm-weather or destination weddings, opt for linen or lightweight blends

  • Classic shirts and premium footwear bring it all together

Secure your fitting in advance by booking an appointment, and complete the look with Formal Shirts and Dress Shoes tailored to your event.

4. Day Two & Post-Wedding Celebrations

Relaxed Style, Still Sharp

Day two events call for a shift in tone—more laid-back, but still styled with purpose. These are the moments when effortless smart-casual dressing shines.

Style Tips:

  • An unstructured blazer pairs well with chinos or linen trousers

  • Opt for a soft shirt or knit polo to keep things relaxed

  • Loafers or suede trainers maintain a clean silhouette

Find these looks in our Smart Casual Collection and explore lightweight Sports Jackets that are perfect for second-day styling.

5. The Honeymoon

Style That Travels Well

Your honeymoon wardrobe should be stylish, versatile, and easy to wear. Whether you’re jetting off to the sun or staying local, the right pieces go a long way.

Style Tips:

  • Choose breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, or seersucker

  • Pack short-sleeved shirts, polos, and tailored shorts for daytime

  • Include a lightweight jacket or overshirt for evenings

Discover versatile staples from our Holiday Collection to take you from plane to dinner with ease.
