Weddings today are wonderfully diverse. Couples are celebrating their love in ways that feel true to them — and the world of wedding fashion is evolving beautifully alongside that. One of the most exciting shifts we’re seeing is the rise in inclusive wedding tailoring: personalised suits for LGBTQ+ clients, wedding suits for women, suits for lesbian brides, trans-friendly tailoring and non-binary wedding wear.
At The Grooms Room in Colchester, we’re proud to be part of this movement. For nearly 20 years, we’ve supported clients of every identity, shape and style. Our goal has always been simple: to create a welcoming space where everyone feels seen, respected and celebrated — no matter how they identify or what they choose to wear on their wedding day.
As more couples look for tailored options beyond traditional gendered expectations, we are seeing a growing demand for inclusive suits that reflect individuality, comfort and authenticity. Here’s why this matters, and how The Grooms Room is leading the way.
WHY INCLUSIVE WEDDING SUITS MATTER
Many LGBTQ+ clients, trans clients and women who prefer suits have shared that they’ve struggled to find menswear shops where they feel comfortable, respected or understood. Traditional tailoring environments can feel intimidating or gendered in a way that doesn’t reflect their identity. This is why inclusive tailoring is so important. A wedding outfit isn’t just clothing — it’s a form of expression. It’s identity. It’s confidence. And for many couples, especially within the LGBTQ+ community, it’s a powerful statement of being fully and unapologetically themselves on one of the most meaningful days of their lives. At The Grooms Room, inclusivity isn’t an add-on. It’s part of who we are.
A SAFE, WARM AND WELCOMING SPACE FOR EVERY CLIENT
From the moment you walk through the door, our goal is to make you feel comfortable, supported and completely yourself. Every appointment is private and one-to-one with a friendly, experienced stylist who listens, gently guides and tailors the process to your needs.
There are no assumptions here.
No awkward questions.
No pressure to conform.
Instead, you’ll find kindness, expertise and a space where your identity is honoured and your preferences matter.
Whether you’re a groom, a bride who prefers a suit, a trans man, a non-binary client or someone exploring gender-neutral tailoring, we are here to help you feel confident and excited about your wedding look.
SUPPORTING LGBTQ+ CREATORS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS
Over the years, we’ve had the honour of dressing many LGBTQ+ clients, including well-known figures such as drag performer Cheryl H. (formerly Cheryl Hole) and transgender YouTuber Jamie, known as Jammidodger. Their trust in our team reflects the private, inclusive and affirming environment we offer — and we are incredibly proud of their experiences with us.
WEDDING SUITS FOR WOMEN AND LESBIAN BRIDES
One of the most important parts of our inclusive tailoring service is working with women who prefer suiting over a bridal gown. More women than ever are choosing tailored looks that feel strong, empowered, stylish and authentic to who they are — and we absolutely love helping them achieve this.
Wedding suits for women can include:
Sharp, modern tailoring
Soft, fluid silhouettes
Relaxed androgynous styles
Feminine-cut three-piece suits
Tailored tuxedos for brides
Light, summer-ready tailored looks
Our team understands female proportions and provides styling that enhances comfort, confidence and shape without compromising on identity. Whether you want something minimalist, bold or completely bespoke, we work with care and precision to bring your vision to life.
TRANS-FRIENDLY AND NON-BINARY TAILORING
For trans and non-binary clients, having a safe, respectful and affirming tailoring experience makes all the difference. Our approach is sensitive, private and designed around your comfort.
We can help with:
Shape-conscious tailoring
Soft or sharp structures depending on preference
Gender-affirming silhouettes
Made-to-measure cuts tailored to your proportions
Discreet adjustments based on your needs
Neutral or androgynous styling
Every fitting is handled with kindness, patience and genuine care.

WEDDING SUITS FOR SAME-SEX COUPLES
Whether you’re two brides, two grooms, or partners of any identity, we love helping couples create wedding looks that feel connected, meaningful and completely personal. Every couple’s style dynamic is different, and we celebrate that. Some choose matching suits for a beautifully unified look. Others prefer coordinated colours or subtle tonal variations. Many couples choose two completely different styles that still complement one another visually.
At The Grooms Room, we guide you through a range of options — from matching suits and contrasting jackets to coordinated accessories, shared linings, personal embroidery and more. Our goal is always to create two outfits that feel like “you,” while still sitting together effortlessly in your wedding photos. Your wedding suits should reflect your relationship and personalities, not outdated tradition or expectations.
