Custom-made wedding dress in Cannes: 16 years of expertise

There are the future newlyweds who reserve their fabric two years in advance. And those who contact us a few weeks before the wedding: the venue is booked, the wedding rings are ready, but the suit… we thought we had time.

Chez Moret & Co à Cannes, nous recevons les deux. Certains ont été déçus par leurs premiers essayages ailleurs. D’autres découvrent que le prêt-à-porter ne tombe pas comme ils l’espéraient, ou que l’écart de price avec le sur mesure est parfois plus faible qu’ils ne l’imaginaient.

À 40 ans, Geoffrey Moret possède déjà plus de 16 ans d’expérience dans le métier du sur-mesure. Notre travail commence par une discussion : comprendre qui vous êtes, comment vous imaginez votre mariage et ce qui vous va réellement. Nous construisons ensuite votre tenue avec vous, jusqu’aux derniers essayages.

Nous habillons des mariés de toutes les Alpes-Maritimes (06) — Cannes, Nice, Antibes, Grasse, Mandelieu, Monaco — et du Var (83) : Fréjus, Saint-Raphaël, Saint-Tropez, Toulon. Pour ceux qui viennent de plus loin, les essayages sont regroupés en deux ou trois venues à la boutique.

Each bride, a new creation

«What excites me about this job is that we never make the same outfit twice. Each client arrives with their own personality, their own desires, and their own way of imagining their wedding. With every encounter, there is something new to create.»

We have accompanied weddings entirely in black, very rock’n’roll, others in a dolce vita spirit, very British outfits, right up to the traditional redingote. Our fabric collections, regularly renewed, bring new colors and new combinations to explore.

For your custom wedding dress, we take into account your body type, complexion and proportions. A stunning color in a photo can give a very different result when worn in real life. In our boutique, our fitting rooms allow you to compare several styles and colors in front of the mirror.

And the cut is not just about the hem: the finishing of the shoulder, the shape of the collar, the type and width of the cuffs change the character of the garment. We take the time to explain these choices to you.

The first discovery meeting is non-binding. You can come back, think it over, or have your loved ones accompany you. Simply prepare a few clues: an idea, even vague, in color and two or three photos are enough. With so many references, a starting point helps a lot in moving forward.

Wedding on the Côte d’Azur or in the sun: the choice of fabrics

A ceremony in Cannes, a reception in Saint-Tropez, a wedding in the Var or a departure to a much warmer destination: the location and the season are among the first things we discuss with you.

Between the ceremony in the sun, the cocktail in the open air and the evening on the dance floor, your wedding suit must remain comfortable to wear. We offer summer and winter fabrics, including very fine and less prone to pilling options for the hot weather. We compare their feel, drape and fit with the conditions you have in mind.

The shirt deserves the same attention. For a summer wedding on the Côte d’Azur or in a warm climate, we guide you to suitable fabrics, seeking breathability, comfort, and good resistance to wear and tear. No shirt will lower the temperature of the reception venue, but choosing the right material can help you better enjoy the day.

The colors are also chosen based on you. Blue, beige, green, black or any other color you might want: we look at what suits your complexion, then build the combinations with the shirt and accessories. Trends provide ideas; the mirror allows you to decide.

Fabric reserved for rehearsals: preparing your wedding suit

You can choose your fabric well before the big day. Some of our brides even reserve it two years in advance. Once your choice is confirmed, we reserve the required fabric for your dress and store it with our tailors.

The raw material is thus reserved, without taking your measurements too early. We usually schedule the measurements approximately two to two and a half months before the wedding, to work on a morphology closer to that of the event.

This organization comes from our experience with postponements during lockdowns. We have found clients with very different silhouettes: more muscle for some, a few extra pounds for others — not always muscle this time. Some transformations required changing the outfit rather than retouching it.

We then follow your costume through several fittings. We check the proportions, fit, and your comfort. Take the time to walk around, sit down, and tell us what you feel: any discomfort should be reported.

Your wedding is already approaching? Give us the date as soon as you make contact. We will see what is possible to accomplish within the available time.

Custom-made shoes, linings and accessories: the latest agreements

The outfit is also built around the shoes, shirt, tie or bow tie. At Moret & Co in Cannes, we also offer custom-made shoes to complement your wedding suit.

We look at how the pieces work together. The color of a sock can echo a button or accessory. A personalized lining can evoke a painting or an aesthetic you love. We discuss the possibilities with you to incorporate these details into your outfit.

Nous pouvons également réfléchir aux tenues des Witnesses : coordonner les costumes ou prévoir simplement des nœuds papillon qui créent un lien. Tout dépend de l’ambiance du mariage et de ce que chacun souhaite porter.

We dress men for many occasions, but future brides benefit from a follow-up tailored to this special day. From the discovery appointment to the final fitting, the goal is to see you comfortable in a garment that you will enjoy wearing.

And as I often say to my clients, with a smile: «My goal is to have beautiful photos, so that you look your best on the day of the wedding… and especially for Madame to say yes!» 🙂
