Taking a holistic view of this suit. The back view of the jacket and trouser have the most issues to correct.
Before anyone goes to MTM you should have an idea of what your fitting issues are so you can determine if the MTM service addresses those issues.
There is not enough cloth in your upper chest area, from the armhole up to the shoulder. This creates the bow of the lapels. The space between the lapels should form a V, instead of this shape ( ) . The front balance should be longer.
There is too much cloth across the back. Blades need to be reduced on both sides. Lengthening the front balance will lift the back and it won’t settle on your hips and cause the wrinkles there. This baggy wrinkled back is what everyone will be seeing during your wedding.
Don’t taper the leg any more than this. Your knees are closer together and your feet are wider apart. This is called knock knee. There is an adjustment for this which will make the trouser leg drape better.
The back is falling down and makes the baggy wrinkles below the seat. This should be adjusted.
A higher rise will look better and the trouser will stay up on your hips better. They won’t slide down as much.
In all seriousness though, no one is going to look at the label of your wedding suit or care how much you paid for it.
to be honest, you could also look into tux rental places
I hear you, honestly I just wanted a decent suit, and being short (5'7") I figured MTM was the way to go.
Sorry to keep bugging you, Dieworkwear. I contacted Oliver Wicks and this is the feedback they gave me:
"- The silhouette looks nice, with the right amount of waist suppression. You could have the jacket taken in at the back slightly, for a slimmer fit but this would be solely down to your preferences.
- Most importantly, the shoulders look right.
- The jacket length seems quite appropriate for a classic fit.
- The sleeve length is almost there.
- The sleeve pitch is also correct. As with the waist, I would say that the sleeves offer a nice classic style, but could be trimmed down for more of a slim fit if desired.
- The collar looks nice, there is no gaping.
- Same goes for the back, the pattern is very adequate.
- As for the pants - I think one issue is that they are too long, and this is causing them to drape poorly.
I think at this stage, the best way to proceed with the jacket would be in local alterations. The sleeve length looks to be within what's possible to alter at the wrist with functional sleeve buttons and a good tailor can pin the width and alter to your preference.
For the pants, it looks like we'll need to head for a remake, as some of the factors would not be alterable."
I stumbled across this post while searching for reviews on OW suits. Setup an account here to reply.
This suit looks similar to the fit of Hugo Boss suits off the rack before any alterations.
My suggestion would be to visit your local Nordstrom and get this suit tailored with a couple of days turnaround.
This suit has hope!
My suggestion would be to take in the jacket, shorten the sleeves, hem and taper the pants.
For G-d's sake, pull up those pants before anything is cut.
Please post update photos.
Thanks!

Mr @Despos, I was wondering if you could say a little more about this. I have the same issue, and I'm trying to learn what to look for or how to approach it when dealing with alterations or having something made to measure. I'm also thinking about trying a trouser specialist who comes to Bangkok or Singapore from time to time, whose name I can't recall off the top of my head, to see if I could get a great look from a real pro.Your knees are closer together and your feet are wider apart. This is called knock knee. There is an adjustment for this which will make the trouser leg drape better.
