Looking for someone to make your future groom a custom wedding tuxedo? Myyyy gosh… how are we just three months away from our wedding day! I can not believe we are getting that close!! Over the weekend, Derek and I went to see Jenanne, the owner of Barakat Bespoke. Derek has been going to see Jenanne for over a year. What started out as just a good place to get his clothes tailored, became basically where Derek gets all of his suits and shirts made.
Now, I know I know what you are going to say… “Derek gets his clothes custom made!?” Not all of them, but the nice ones he does! Derek can never find anything off of the rack that fits him.. whether that be the arms are too long, shoulders are too big, or overall the shirt is just too small or too big. We have tried all fits/sizes and everything in between. Once you factor in buying a nice shirt and then paying so much to make it look right, you might as well just get it custom fit to you. And that is what he does!

A little about Jenanne.. Jenanne has been around tailors her entire life. Her father actually owned a suit store in Downtown Little Rock for decades and began working for a tailor in Palestine at the age of 12. To say she and her family are masters of the art is an understatement.
Now about Derek’s Tuxedo!!!!!! I am so excited to announce that he will not be in a traditional black tuxedo that you normally see grooms wear. Jenanne has worked her magic and we have created a one-of-a-kind, STUNNING, tux. On top of creating custom pieces, Barakat Bespoke also offers tailoring, men’s accessories such as ties and cuff links, custom-made shoes if you are interested in those! One thing about Derek’s suits he has gotten from them is he has Mr. Hollowoa stitched into the inside of them.. How cool is that?!
I can not wait to take you guys on this fun journey with us as we create this piece. It is going to actually be so much fun and I can not wait for you all to see it!!
xoxo, Brooke Anne
