The Best Wedding Suits For All The 2024 Power Brides Out There
From Reiss to Galvan, these are the chicest two-pieces for modern nuptials.
Cut through the noise with styling advice you can trust from Editors who know what they are talking about. From upcoming brands to watch and high-street brands of quality to heritage fashion houses with flair and vintage options to consider, inform your shopping with ELLE Edits.
Bianca Jagger's iconic YSL skirt suit, Olivia Palermo's cashmere jumper, Solange Knowles' Stéphane Rolland jumpsuit – sometimes the best bridal outfits don't involve frothy meringue layers, fussy tulle petticoats or OTT sequins. In fact, you don't have to wear a dress at all on your big day.
Wedding suits for women are on the rise. Tailoring has taken over womenswear in the past few years, its return to the casual-wear realm expanding dress codes just about everywhere from the office to dinner parties.
If you love the nod to both nonchalance and power that a two-piece brings, consider wearing a suit to your wedding. When you take the uncomfortable corsetry and heavy skirts out of the equation, suddenly you'll feel a hell of a lot less nervous walking down the aisle – and you won't feel restricted during the dinner or dancing, either. The best advice we have? Buy a white suit for your wedding and you'll definitely wear it again. No one-hit wonders here.
While Galvan and Roland Mouret's impeccable tailoring is undeniably the best in the business, fashion's current penchant for oversized shapes means you can dodge the hefty price tag if you're on a budget. Look to bridge brands like Rat & Boa, The Frankie Shop, and Reformation, or high street stores like Reiss, Whistles, and Mango for beautiful bridal suits starting from as little as £80.
Keep scrolling to see 18 of our favourite wedding suits for women – and how we'd style them.
Everyone's high-street favourite has brought out the big bridal guns this season with a selection of impeccably cut white suits. They're on the more affordable side, yes, but the tailoring rivals that of their designer counterparts.
With its covetable range of bias-cut gowns and silky separates, Galvan is 2024's answer to the 'cool girl' bride. So if tailoring feels a little stiff for right now, why not try this slinky co-ord instead? Its Halston-inspired halter collar top and fluid flares have an elegant 1970s feel, so you'll definitely wear them again post-wedding.
Odd Muse is the London-based brand that made a name for itself with just one blazer. And a beautiful blazer it is, defined by its obi belt and finished with trailing chevron sleeves. It comes in camel, khaki and black, but we'd definitely wear the white version down the aisle paired with the matching split-cuff trousers.
The Frankie Shop's white suit has a minimalist, early 1990s vibe. The blazer is boxy and unstructured, with notched lapels and a longline hem. Team this set with a waistcoat, matching maxi skirt, and strappy sandals.
For something less structured, head to Rat & Boa, a brand we always turn to for languid, feminine silhouettes. The Marlowe blazer is cut to a fluid wrap shape with a plunging neckline, while the coordinating trousers are cut to pool beautifully on the floor. For destination weddings and late-night outfit changes, look no further.
Paige's white suit has a slightly flared pant that lends an elongating effect to the silhouette, and the cool, cotton-blend fabric is ideal for summer and destination nuptials – because what bride doesn't want to feel comfortable on the big day?
If Bianca Jagger is currently pinned on your wedding moodboard, Reiss' bridal suit is what you've been looking for. Cut from textured viscose blended with silk, this set comprises louche pleated pants and a double-breasted blazer.
Nadine Merabi knows how to do decadent occasionwear. The brand's recently launched bridal collection updates sophisticated suiting with statement details. The faux-pearl embellishments along the shoulders of this blazer is a real head-turner. Complete the look with the matching bra top.
A standout from Ghost's anticipated new bridal collection, the Juliette satin top and Celine trousers make the perfect low-key pairing. the top is thoughtfully designed with a high neck and longline fit to offer an elevated take on a classic camisole. The warm ivory hue will work with both white and metallic accessories: you really can't go wrong.
With a structured silhouette and gently-flared trousers, Roland Mouret's note-perfect cotton-linen suit is guaranteed to make an impact. Sweep your hair up to keep the point lapels in focus, and finish with a feather-trimmed bag for a feminine flourish.
Wardrobe. NYC has managed to shake up tailoring in the subtlest of ways. Clock the hourglass tuxedo blazer and skinny pants defined by their stirrup hemlines – perfect for tucking under a pair of contrast colour shoes.
Khanum's has just launched a bridal department, reimagining its ornate beaded dresses and separates in striking shades of white. This faux-pearl and crystal-adorned set comes with a high-waist maxi skirt and hand embellished vest. Wear yours to the afterparty with pretty flats.
Reformation has one of the best bridal departments out there; but, believe it or not, the brand is not all about the dresses. The label's take on tailoring is louche and relaxed, so this white linen blazer is ideal for hen- or after-party looks.
A go-to for quality tailoring, The Fold launched as a workwear brand 10 years ago. This suit is perfect for both bridal and office looks thanks to the sculpted blazer and louche wide-leg trousers.
If you're getting married abroad – and you have the funds – Safiyaa is an exceptional choice for your big day. This stretch-crepe suit comprises a sleek, sculpted blazer and flared pants. Wear yours with a pair of architectural heels.
People in the UK are Googling 'Whistles wedding dresses' year-round, so you know the retailer's bridalwear has hit cult status. The Andie suit from the range has such a relaxed, oversized shape – perfect for getting more wears out of your big purchase.
Who said a suit can't feel as special as a fairytale dress? Dolce & Gabbana's sublime lace craftsmanship makes this two-piece one of the most memorable we've ever seen. Whether for the ceremony itself or the late-night partying, we'd recommend staying true to the brand's Italianate glamour and styling with gold jewels and the highest of heels.
British brand Sister Jane is a go-to for affordable bridalwear – whether you're plumping for one of the brand's girlish cloqué babydoll dresses or a fresh take on a wedding suit. This white tailored set features a lustrous faux-pearl beaded collar for an extra dose of romanticism.
