Tailoring for a Manor Garden Wedding: Simon’s Custom Blue Tweed Suit
A bespoke wedding suit is more than just formalwear—it tells the unique story of a couple's big day. For Simon and Sheralyn’s recent nuptials, A Hand Tailored Suit Birmingham had the absolute pleasure of crafting a tailored masterpiece that balanced classic British heritage with deeply personal, modern design details.
The Timeline & Venue
The couple’s special day unfolded on 15th August 2026, beginning with a traditional ceremony from 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM at a church in Thrapston. Following the vows, the celebration moved to a stunning Private Manor Garden setting. The lush private lawn provided a picturesque, sunlit backdrop for the afternoon, captured in all its beauty by the talented team at Francelli Photography, whose stunning shots immortalized every emotion and micro-detail of the day.
Style & Fabric Choices
Designed to complement a classic blue wedding color theme, Simon’s three-piece suit and custom shirt featured rich textures and exceptional craftsmanship:
-
The Suit Fabrics: The single-breasted, two-button jacket and matching trousers were cut from a robust Navy Tweed Herringbone by John Taylor (6602-9).
-
The Contrast Waistcoat: Simon opted for a standout double-breasted (3x3) waistcoat with a horseshoe/scoop neckline in a striking Gold Range White Textured fabric (J39110/200), finished with a matching white tuxedo back and fabric adjuster.
-
The Lining: The jacket featured a Framed Navy Paisley main lining, paired with contrasting Ivory Paisley piping. A playful touch included Navy Paisley lining inside the breast pocket—doubling as a built-in pocket square—and a matching Navy Paisley flash cuff.
-
The Custom Shirt & Accessories: A crisp white double-cuff shirt (AS101-W01) with a semi-cutaway collar, paired with a matching 3.5-inch Navy Tweed tie, completed the ensemble.
The Sentimental Details
What truly sets bespoke tailoring apart is the personalization tucked away inside the garment. Simon’s suit carried meaningful embroidered hidden touches in subtle white thread matching the waistcoat:
-
Inside Left Jacket: Embroidered with "Simon & Sheralyn 15.08.26".
-
Under the Collar: Stitched with the geographic coordinates "52.36 -0.36", marking a location forever special to the couple.
-
Shirt Cuffs: Monogrammed on the double cuffs with "15.08.26" on the left and "S&S" on the right.
From the hand-stitched 3.5-inch peak lapels to the personal coordinates under the collar, it was an honor to craft this memorable look for Simon and Sheralyn from our Birmingham studio in the heart of the Jewellery Quarter.
