Seven Stylish Accessories for Grooms

Brides aren’t the only ones trying to flaunt their best formal wear, hair, etc. on their wedding day. Grooms love some swagger too! Picking out a trendy tux or suit is obviously the most important part of a groom’s wedding day attire—bonus points for a perfect fit, unique texture, and/or fun color!—but there are other elements the man of the hour can accessorize with to really take their look to the next level. Here are some stylish embellishments grooms can add to their attire on the big day.

Boutonniere

A boutonniere that matches the bridal party’s bouquets and wedding theme is an obvious adornment for grooms and groomsmen. Typically, this is a single bud or small grouping of ~three flowers fixed on the lapel of a tuxedo or suit jacket.

Personalized Cuff Links

Cuff links are fun, functional, and timeless, and grooms can get creative with different styles, shapes, and textures. You can personalize them by adding wording like “groom” or the initials of the married couple—or you can take it a step further by getting a custom cuff link of your favorite character from a show/movie, your birthstone, etc.

Pocket Square

There are tons of different pocket square designs out there nowadays, from bold illustrations and quirky patterns to branded ones from popular companies—or you could go simple with a colored one matching your wedding theme. These are a great way for grooms to express their personality and add color to their wedding-day ‘fit.

Shoes

Some grooms will ditch the more traditional loafers or dress shoes for a pair of kicks that exude their personal style, whether it’s colorful sneakers, boots, or anything in between. These may even be more comfy too, perfect for when it’s time to break out your dance moves!

Tie Bar

Something as simple as a tie bar, a clip-on accessory that attaches your tie to your shirt, can make a fashion statement. These can be purely functional or ornate and decorative, fashioned in a unique design and/or color that adds an eye-catching element to any suit or tuxedo.

Bolo Tie

Bolo ties are making a comeback, pairing especially well with Western-inspired or ’70s-style weddings. One thing’s for sure, they’re definitely going to be memorable!

Jewelry

Why should the gals get to have all the fun when it comes to jewelry?! Grooms can add flashy elements to their outfits with a watch, gold chain, cuff/bracelet, and/or ring (in addition to the wedding band, obviously).
