The Best Wedding Suits For All The Power Brides Out There
From Reiss to Roland Mouret, these are the chicest two-pieces for modern nuptials.
There’s a lot of stuff out there, and not all fashion pieces are created equal. Luckily, the ELLE editors know their way around a shopping rail, and when it comes to helping you find those niche brands worth knowing to high-street hits of quality, and a few vintage treasures too, our ELLE Edits showcase the very best of the season.
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, creeping into 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.
ELLE′s Top 5 Bridal Suits
Polo Ralph Lauren Double-Breasted Hemp Blazer

While Roland Mouret and Acne Studios' 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 Veronica Beard, Rat & Boa and Reformation, or high street stores like Reiss and Whistles for beautiful bridal suits starting from as little as £80.
Keep scrolling to see 22 of our favourite wedding suits for women – and how we'd style them.
Here's a winner from the British brand we rely on for truly sharp tailoring: Reiss' Devon blazer is cut from a linen-blend into a timeless double-breasted shape. Invest for your summer wedding and you can mix and match with the label's chic separates – choose from a waistcoat, wide-leg trousers, Bermudas or mini shorts.
Max Mara's bridal suit has a unique knack of looking both louche – thanks to the sash front and fluid single-pleat trousers – but strikingly structured – the expertly-cut blazer is finished with a high mandarin collar – simultaneously. A jacket like this, sans lapels or fussy fastenings, is calling out for barely-there styling beneath.
If anyone can do a white suit right, it's Polo Ralph Lauren. This double-breasted linen blazer – complete with overstitched peaked lapels – is styled with a tonal roll-neck knit here for a dose of the brand's signature prep; but when paired with the matching pleated trousers and heels, it makes for an understated bridal look. Think a city hall or garden wedding.
French brand Destree's lustrous faille sets have become a go-to for the registry office bride. The impeccably-cut Amoako jacket makes a subtle statement with its bishop sleeves, Mandarin collar and waist-enhancing cropped hemline. We love the bridal-appropriate covered buttons running through the front, too.
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.
If you're here for a contemporary bridal look, why not go all-out in short shorts? Reformation's suit might be mini, but the Duchess satin, covered buttons and pretty Peter Pan collar feel super luxurious.
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 pool beautifully on the floor. For destination weddings and late-night outfit changes, look no further.
Rebecca Vallance's bridal collection is one of our favourites: the Australian designer really knows how to nail those prom queen vibes. But this white suit departs from this girlish look to bring us something entirely different and perfect for a city wedding, hen do and afterparty looks. The wrap-effect bandeau top, inspired by tailored jacket, has a split longline hem to balance the matching bootcut trousers perfectly.
We're big fans of Aligne's understated wardrobe essentials, so when the British brand launched bridal earlier this year we were curious to see how something so traditionally fussy would translate. Cue the coolest wedding looks made for elopement and low-key city hall nuptials. Made from duchesse satin, this boxy tie-fastening jacket is designed to be worn with the matching shift dress.
British brand The Fold is a great go-to for wedding guest dressing and, as this ivory jacket proves, bridal suiting. Crafted from Japanese satin-back crepe, it feels luxurious while also being washable and crease-resistant. The longer line, double-breasted design is ultra-flattering, with a subtle seam detail at the waist for a nipped-in effect.
The return of the pencil skirt and peplum silhouettes sees Roland Mouret stealing the spotlight once more – and this bridal suit couldn't feel cooler for a city wedding right now. The white jacket, collarless and finished with the designer's signature origami folds, is so true to the house codes that it'll never date.
Nobody's Child just launched bridalwear and the result is an affordable offering that feels both timeless and trend-led, too. Amongst the brocade midis and bow-topped shift dresses is this white suit. The elegant, wide-leg trousers can be paired with the matching blazer or the sweetheart neckline button-through vest – or both.
The skirt suit is a trend that's going nowhere – but look for OTT details like Veronica Beard's jewel embellishments to avoid veering into MAGA acolyte territory. You'll definitely wear the boxy cropped jacket and A-line mini as separates post-wedding, too.
For when you want to wear linen on your wedding day but you don't love the creases that comes with this fabric, look for a lower-maintenance linen-blend like Paige's. This structured suit has a nautical feel with its gilt buttons, notch lapels and flap pockets, so it'd work well for coastal weddings.
If you're looking for a bridal suit on a budget, Mango drops incredible white tailoring without fail every season. This set features an oversized asymmetric-fastening jacket and super wide-leg trousers.
For after-parties, or perhaps a warm weather wedding, Veronica Beard's co-ord hits the spot. Made from cotton-twill with a hint of stretch, it comprises a tailored, button-through tank and matching kick-flare trousers.
We love the cocoon sleeves and covered buttons on this cropped bridal jacket. Paired with the matching mini skirt and heels, it's perfect for courthouse weddings or a hen-do look.
Made entirely from breathable silk and cotton (both the lining and shell), Joseph's suit is ideal for laid-back summer weddings. This Eastern-inspired jacket is cut into a wrap shape and punctuated with slip pockets to create a fuss-free silhouette. Wear yours with the matching wide-leg trousers and flats.
First spotted on the runway, Acne Studios' white blazer is defined by its playful satin bra strap detailing at the back – but we also think the striking hourglass cut is worth note. Team yours with the matching wool-blend trousers on the big day.
Theory is one of our go-tos for slick, sharply-cut tailoring that never feels tied to a trend or a fashion moment (a good thing indeed when it comes to your wedding outfit). The Staple blazer is neat and slim, with a single-breasted front and buttoned cuffs. A classic, and for good reason.
