Grooms are typically overshadowed by their beautiful brides on their wedding day. Not because they aren’t dashing, though, but because of their outfits and accessories. While brides are usually decked in elaborate gowns and accessories, the grooms usually stick to the usual boring accessories that make them look smart, but not all that different.

Take a note from this list to look absolutely stylish on your wedding day

So here we want to tell you: grooms, your bride doesn’t always have to outshine you. Go ahead and take a note from this list to look absolutely stylish on your wedding day and give your bride a run for her money.

Boutonniere

Boutonnieres are typically made of a single flower, usually a carnation or a rose. But not anymore. Boutonnieres now come in a variety of unique flowers and flashy colours. Apart from the traditional flower boutonnieres, there are also those made out of green leaves and even from colourful felt for those who don’t fancy fresh flora on your suit.

For the grooms who want to give a little character to your boutonnieres, simply add a little something extra beside your flowers, such as a lego superhero character.

Lapel Pin

With lapel pins you’re free to let your creativity take the reign

If fresh flora and fauna don’t fit into the style you are aiming for, there is also the option of lapel pins. While you’re mostly limited to flowers and leaves for boutonnieres, with lapel pins you’re free to let your creativity take the reign. There are various options and styles for you to choose from, from the safer flowers and leaves to the more outlandish feather pins to cute customised pins and even a pin that incorporates your culture.

Bowtie

With bowties like these, you might even outshine your bride.

Bowties in itself make for a classy outfit, but why not turn it up a notch by going for bowties in various fun designs (think polka dots and floral) and bright colours to exude both sophistication and fun? With bowties like these, you might even outshine your bride.

Neckties

Not to be outdone by its brother, the standard necktie comes in a variety of cool and wacky designs too that are sure to perk up any outfit they are paired with.

Cuff links

Cuff links are usually rectangular, squarish or round in shape, often in a dark, solid colour, making them inconspicuous. But ditch the usual designs for these unique and meaningful cuff links made of natural gemstones or specially engraved and designed cuff links to make them, and you, stand out.

Pocket Squares

These pocket squares are sure to spice up any suit

Pocket squares are one the most often overlooked accessories for men, yet with the many bright-coloured and different designs that they come in, these pocket squares are sure to spice up any suit. If you don’t want too many accessories on your suit, why not combine your boutonniere and pocket square to have florals in your pocket?

Socks

Your socks will be hidden during most of your wedding, but when they do, increase their impact by wearing funky coloured socks. This peek-a-boo of your socks allows you greater freedom to wear whatever design you want without having to match the colour scheme of your wedding ceremony. So have fun and go crazy with what you wear on your feet!
