Grooms Just Wanna Have Fun!

Weddings are often seen as a bride's domain filled with choices about dresses, flowers and decor. But the spotlight is shifting, let's not say shift, let's say spreading. Spreading to include the groom. Grooms are stepping into the scene with flair and showcasing their personalities through stylish attire. In fact, a survey by The Knot found that 63% of grooms are actively involved in planning their wedding look, a significant cultural shift. Grooms want to look fabulous and confident while ensuring their style complements their stunning partner.

Today's grooms are experimenting with vibrant colours, unique patterns, and tailored fits that reflect personal styles and match the wedding theme. For example, a groom wearing a deep burgundy tuxedo can create a striking contrast to a classic white dress, enhancing both looks.

This style revolution emphasizes that grooms are eager to be part of the planning process. It's about more than just choosing a suit, it’s about aligning their style with the wedding's overall aesthetic and their partner's look.

Accessories that make a statement

The right accessories can elevate a groom’s attire and leave a lasting impression. Here are some accessory ideas that allow grooms to express their style while creating a cohesive look:

Cufflinks

Cufflinks can add that special touch with styles from elegant silver to personalized designs. A groom can choose cufflinks that represent a favourite pastime or depict a memorable moment, making them not just stylish but also sentimental keepsakes.

Pocket Squares

A pocket square is a simple yet effective way to add sophistication. Available in countless colours and patterns, a groom might choose a classic white silk square or a vibrant paisley print that echoes the bridesmaids' dresses. A survey conducted by WeddingWire revealed that 61% of grooms believe pocket squares enhance their overall look, showing how impactful this small detail can be.

Bow Tie, Tie rings and Tie Clips

Ties are a staple, but bow ties are gaining popularity. They can range from classic black silk to whimsical patterns featuring favorite cartoons or hobbies, allowing grooms to showcase personality. Since bow ties are not for everyone, accessorizing a tie can be your style, you just didn't know it. Tie rings add a jewelled flair to your tie and pairing it with a tie pin can bring it all together.

Stylish Footwear

Footwear can dramatically affect a groom's overall look. While traditional dress shoes are always an option, many grooms opt for modern loafers, brogues, or even colorful sneakers for casual weddings. In a recent survey, 47% of grooms stated they wished they had chosen more comfortable shoes for their weddings, highlighting the importance of balancing style and comfort.

Grooming and Personal Care

To feel their best on the big day, grooms should prioritize grooming. This can include haircuts, skincare routines and selecting a signature fragrance. Investing time in personal grooming makes a noticeable difference, enhancing their confidence as they step into the spotlight.

The Element of Fun

Fun elements not only diversify the wedding look, but also create joyful moments captured in photographs. These playful choices breathe life into the wedding celebrations, making them even more unforgettable.

The Power of Confidence

At the end of the day, confidence is the most attractive accessory a groom can wear. It’s essential to choose outfits that feel comfortable and true to personal style. Grooms should spend time trying on different outfits and accessories to ensure everything fits well and feels right. Confidence often sets the tone for the entire celebration. When grooms feel good in their attire, it radiates throughout the event.

After all, weddings are about love and individuality. Grooms should feel empowered to showcase their unique styles as they prepare to say, "I do!" So remember, grooms just wanna have fun too. Let the accessorizing begin!
