Shoot for Brooks Brothers on one of their bimonthly sales. They should be having one shortly.

This was a gift from my boss. I kept it for a few months before I just sold it. It is pretty solid. Made in USA. You can't beat the quality. If I needed a sterling silver money clip I would buy a...

I just picked this up and I am pretty pleased. Just what I expected. I am pleased with the Bark. However, I wish it was a little darker. A great deal for $35. Comparable to other belts in the...

For the OP:
Cheers and congrats on your wedding! First post, but I've been trolling the forums for a while.
I actually came to this site because I was looking at this site: http://www.thickasthievesla.com
The guy, from a person who makes suits, is legit and knows what he is talking about. His fabrics and cuts are pretty standard and traditional, nothing to fancy - but from what I can tell he makes a full canvassed suit at a good price. Price for members of this forums floats around $400-$500 and seems to be a much better deal (just due to quality) in the bespoke suit area than other made-to-measure manufacturers such as IndoChino. I think a 3 or 5 button low cut vest would look great, although Thick as Thieves won't do a 3-piece, because he doesn't like them.
If you are looking for a department store make, wait till November and pickup a Ralph Lauren Black Label suit, it will fit nice and with some modifications would look really nice with some cufflinks and a formal cut collar on a white shirt. These will run around $600 on sale. You might be able to get a vest thrown in at this price.
I also make suits but they aren't as conservative. High contrast fabrics and a lot of silk blends, I have about 6 shades of white that I can use that are anywhere from 8-20% silk/poly/rayon blends made full canvassed. If you are looking for something a little more flashy but still a great looking suit, I can help you out at a good price (sorry, I don't mean to advertise, but I don't do this as a business - I just do it as a favor to friends and those who request it, the only markup I make it to compensate for my time in putting it together, think about $350 or $400 for a three piece suit). I almost wouldn't recommend this being that a white or darker cream colored suit would only be wearable for the wedding day...if you are on a budget get something that will be multi-purpose (you mentioned you just graduated, you might want this suit to double as a first job interview suit - silk won't fly ^_^).
Good luck to you!
