Dressed For The Moment: A Look Into Matt Poole’s Wedding

Palm Beach, a coastal celebration, and a groom who understood the assignment. At The Joey, Matt Poole married his bride, Annelyse, in a look that was equal parts black-tie and barefoot-on-the-sand cool.

The star of the show? A made-to-measure ivory tuxedo with a wide peak lapel and non-kissing fabric buttons, cut for a clean, confident line. Matt wasn’t the only one dressed to impress, though. His best man and his Dad also wore custom InStitchu, alongside the day’s smallest scene-stealer: his son, Parker, in a suit to match his own.

We caught up with Matt to get the inside story.

What made you choose InStitchu for your wedding suit?

I’ve been fortunate enough to have had a couple of custom InStitchu suits made for many different events. The quality, styles and fit are always on trend and perfect to size.

Why did you decide to go made-to-measure?

I’m 6'4" with long arms and quite a thick chest from years competing as an athlete. Off-the-rack stock suits don’t fit me very well.

What did you enjoy most about the design and fitting process?

The whole process from start to finish was so smooth. Working with Rebecca to design my wedding day suit felt very personalised and special. We had custom suits done for myself, my best man, my Dad and my son, Parker. Parker, at 18 months, stole the show in his matching suit to me.

What was going through your mind when you first saw your bride?

Honestly, I didn’t think I would get as emotional as I did. I was so excited to see Lyse walk down the aisle, and she looked beautiful.

What did she think of the suit when she saw you?

She loved the suit. The special touch of having Parker in the same matching suit made it even better.

How did you feel wearing the finished suit on the day?

I felt great: confident and comfortable. A good suit makes a man shine.

What would you say to someone considering InStitchu for their wedding?

I would absolutely recommend anyone looking for something custom, comfortable and on trend to look at InStitchu.

Congratulations to Matt and Annelyse.
