We would advise coming in once you are ready to commit to your wedding suits. This will vary between couples.

The reason we say once you are ready, is that the styles and current suit lines change periodically. Should you find a suit you love, and then wait a few months, you may no longer be able to select that suit. 

As a guide we recommend once you are under the year mark until your big day is a good time to start the process. 

When coming in for your initial consultation, we always recommend bringing your partner or one other person whose opinion you trust.

It’s not a problem coming in at short notice, just be aware that the options available may be reduced especially if you are looking to size a groom’s party.

After the initial consultation we will send you some quotes of the wedding suits and outfits you decided on during your appointment.

We would require a deposit of 30% to confirm the order. Once this deposit is paid, you are welcome to book in your groomsmen for their first suit fitting.

Once we start sizing the guys in their wedding suits, we will then be able to order your purchase items or allocate stock to your party.

Astares does offer an excellent made to order service. Find out more here .

We do offer a fabulous range of off the peg Mens suits. If you are looking for a bespoke fitting suit, this can be achieved with alterations on an off the peg suit at a fraction of the cost.

For purchase suits – We advise as soon as you are ready  then we can size them and get them sorted. Ideally if we can have them fitted at least 3- 6 months before the wedding this will ensure there are no issues with any special order items. 

Many couples will get this under way even 12 months before to ensure its all taken care of long before the big day. 

The sooner the guys come in for fittings the better. Items can sometimes go on back order. This could be anywhere between 1 week and 3 months, so we do not like to leave anything to chance.

We do not provide alterations in house at Astares. However, our trained staff will be able to advise on what adjustments can and cannot be completed. We can also give a guide on the rough price costing of this.We do recommend a brilliant seamstress that we work with regularly and will take care of you.

We can accept emailed sizes here at Astares, but we strongly advise against doing this as we cannot guarantee that the sizes will be correct.

We always try to provide a great fitting suit, but without physically trying a garment on there is no way for us to ensure this.

If the guys can come in for fittings, this is always advised.

If the suit is a special-order item, and it does not fit Astares will not be able to offer an exchange or give a refund.

Often emailed sizes result in non-fitting garments. This means it’s a big risk you must take when ordering the suit.

We do not offer any deals on purchasing suits, but we can offer a package for shirts, ties and hankies which will give you a small saving. The bigger the party, the more work that Astares will have to put in to ensure everything comes together for your big day.

As soon as everyone has been fitted, we will order the items in for you. Once all items have been received and are ready for collection, we will be in touch to arrange a suitable time for you to collect.

Once you have confirmed the order and the last guy has been fitted, all items could be ready to collect in as little as one week. Larger orders or special-order items may mean your order will take a little longer. We will always have your suits available with plenty of time before your big day.

Suits must be collected within 14 days of Astares contacting you regarding collection, we cannot hold wedding suits until your wedding as storage space can become an issue.

We strongly advise collecting your wedding suits as soon as they are ready, as everyone will need to try them on and have enough time to source any alterations they may need.

Astares will exchange any garments if you are within your 30 day return period. Please be aware if you have a special-order item, we will not be able to exchange this free of charge.

Please see our returns policy for more details.
