Your attire doesn't have to be boring just because you're a groom.
Gone are the days when bridal fashion and accessories were a preserve of the bride. Today's grooms have so much flexibility when it comes to their attire that they can easily sport that runway look on their big day. Better yet, grooms can also personalize their style to stand out from the groomsmen with a million-dollar look by going for an attire that is a true reflection of their personality.
Here are some fun ways to infuse your personal style into your wedding day look:
- Get a custom suit
While it seems a lot easier to go and shop for a suit from some of the renowned designers in the fashion world. The whole experience can be overwhelming and draining. You'll realize that finding a perfect suit isn't that easy after all.
Perhaps the best move you can make is going for a custom suit especially if you're not considering a casual wedding. Wearing your designer hat and designing a custom suit presents limitless opportunities to create the look you envision. Here, you can include some personalized details like a monogram on the inner part of your jacket bearing a special meaning for you and your bride. This can be something as simple as the date of your wedding or your names.
You could also consider introducing some embroidery at the back of the collar of your jacket. Again, you can put here a special message or the date of your wedding that you'll always see whenever you lift the collar of your jacket up. Try something out of the ordinary like a cursive font or roman numerals to inject an element of elegance.
- Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize
Certainly, a lot of attention usually goes to wedding accessories for bride. But this doesn't mean that as a groom you can't do with some personalized accessories. For instance, you can break from the usual tradition of wearing silver or gold cufflinks to embrace a pair that you have personalized with a monogram for a more stylish and bolder look. Not forgetting incorporating an embroidered pocket square with a custom print or monogram that add some flair to your overall look. This also goes a long way when it comes to getting it right with the photographs. Whether you opt for a necktie or bow tie, you can also make it a little special by personalizing it. Consider adding an expression, quote, or other wedding day details at the back of your tie. If want a change of shoes for the reception, a pair of loafers is what you need to accessorize your overall look and still stay fashionable. You could have a monogram embroidered on your velvet shoes! This also goes for other groom's accessories like socks, suspenders and your tie pin.
- Integrate your wedding colors
This is one of the easiest ways of personalizing your wedding day look. Drawing inspiration from your wedding colors doesn't mean being all matchy-matchy with the rest of your bridal squad. Instead, it'll help you to add a pop of color to your suit. Moreover, by coordinating colors of your attire with your partner by integrating similar hues you'll nail that perfect couple look effortlessly. You can achieve this by paying attention to the color of the pocket square you choose or even the color of the lining of your jacket especially if you choose to go for a custom-made suit. By infusing your wedding colors into you overall attire, it brings out your sense of style. You can either choose to be daring with bold tones or keep it low with the subtle tones.
Just like brides pay attention to many details of their wedding day look, grooms also need to feel special on their big day without worrying about having limited options. Thankfully, there are many ways to infuse personal style into your wedding day look and still achieve a dapper look. You simply need to be creative and in tune with your sense of style to achieve that prefect look, suitable for creating great memories. Even then, you need to be careful so that you don't go overboard with your suit or accessories. For instance, you shouldn't end up with monograms all over. Instead, focus on the aspects of your look that will make you feel important. As a matter of principle, always keep in mind that less is more when it comes to nailing that perfect look.
