Don't Forget the Groom
Personalised, hand finished accessories make a really special luxurious gift.
Amidst all the excitement of choosing the perfect bridal dress, curating the floral arrangements, and finalising the colour palette, it’s easy to overlook one crucial detail: The Groom! At Thomas Fortin Menswear, we believe the groom deserves to shine just as brightly and be perfectly coordinated with your wedding’s personal style.
That’s where we come in. Our bespoke ties, pocket squares, and bow ties can be tailored to match your wedding theme, creating a seamless look for the groom and groomsmen. But it doesn’t stop there! Add meaningful text or a special design to a pocket square for the father of the bride, best man, or other members of the family and transform an accessory into a keepsake to remember your big day by.
We can also create custom scarves for the women in the bridal party, using luxurious printed silk that matches your wedding’s aesthetic. With Thomas Fortin Menswear, your wedding day accessories can be as unforgettable as the day itself!
