How to make a success of your wedding photos? The perfect suit guide

On your wedding day, your made-to-measure suit is much more than a garment: it’s the investment of a lifetime, a reflection of your personality. However, between the excitement of the preparations and the intensity of the day, certain technical details can quickly alter the visual rendering of your memories.

To make sure you look like a gentleman in every shot, we’ve combined the expertise of renowned wedding photographer Yann Minionet with our tailoring know-how at Blandin & Delloye. Here are our tips for making your outfit stand out in front of the camera.

1. Sublimate the preparations: the art of detail

The morning photos are crucial. It’s at this precise moment that the photographer captures the essence of the accessories and materials you’ve spent months choosing.

  • Set the scene: forget the plastic hanger or the carrying case. To honor the work of drapery, hang your suit on a beautiful wooden hanger in a bright, uncluttered room. This allows you to capture the texture of the fabric and the precision of the finishing touches without visual pollution.

  • The importance of slow movement: Rushing is the enemy of photogenic style. By dressing calmly, you offer the photographer the opportunity to immortalize powerful gestures: the adjustment of a bow tie, the buttoning of cuffs or a glance exchanged with your witnesses. A serene groom is a groom who shines in the image.

2. The gentleman’s secret: the shirt edging rule

There’s a simple, almost magical trick for instantly structuring your silhouette in a portrait: adjusting the cuffs.

For an impeccable look, it’s imperative that the cuff of your shirt extends about 1 cm beyond the sleeve of your jacket.

B&D tip: Just before fitting, lightly tug on your shirt sleeves. This little border of fabric provides a much-needed contrast that “finishes” the silhouette. Without it, the jacket can appear too long, giving the visual impression that the suit doesn’t fit.

3. Group photos: opt for naturalness and openness

Photos with your witnesses and family are the most lively, but they can quickly appear austere if the posture is too rigid.

  • Open your jackets: This is the golden rule for breaking the “boardroom” effect. A buttoned-up jacket in a group photo creates a dark, static mass.

  • Free your silhouette: By opening your jacket, you gain in ease. It’s also the ideal moment to reveal the customization details that make all the difference: a perfectly fitted vest or a colorful inner lining.

The goal is to show that you’re there to celebrate. An open look is festive, modern and accessible.

 

Summary: Your checklist for successful photos

For memorable souvenirs, keep these three reflexes in mind:

  1. Display your costume on a noble support, away from clutter.

  2. Adjust your sleeves to reveal the shirt cuff.

  3. Free your silhouette by opening your jacket for moments of conviviality.

The secret of a successful photo starts with a flawless cut and perfect fit. At Blandin & Delloye, we design tailor-made suits to show you off from every angle, from the ceremony to the end of the night.
