Add a Little Swagger: Dressing the Groom(s)

Last week we focused on dressing the bride, so this week I wanted to pay special attention to our grooms out there. Since the wedding usually revolves around the bride, we sometimes forget to focus on the groom, or grooms in our modern day weddings involving gay couples. There is a lot to focus on by way of styling the groom for his big day, and there are many ways to add some swagger, and pops of color to a groom’s wedding day outfit. For this reason, I put together a small guide covering a few of the ways to add a unique touch to a groom’s outfit. Because he's just as important as the bride. Check out these tips and show up at your wedding with style.

Ditch the Tux – Yes it’s true, a tux is very formal and classic, but we’ve seen it over and over again. Be a trendsetter and opt for a beautifully cut suit, go with pin stripes or an unconventional color, you’ll be the talk of your wedding.

Get Styling with Your Tie – Ties are all the rage these days. They are being made by all the top designers and in really eye catching colors and prints. Choose one that matches your style or wedding décor and tie it on.

Be Different with Your Socks – We’ve all taken notice of those really cool pictures of funky socks at weddings, now you can have your very own. Choose a bold color or an argyle print and knock your socks off.

Go With Funky Shoes – Another way for grooms to add some swagger, opt for ditching the normal black formal shoes and go with wing tips, colored converse or maybe even oxfords.

Show Off Your Culture – Be proud of your heritage and decide to dress traditionally. If you’re Scottish wear your traditional kilt or find a way to incorporate some cultural color into the mix. Connecting culture with your wedding theme adds a lot of character to the wedding.
