Style That Stands Out: 8 Ways for Grooms to Add Flair to Their Wedding Look
The big day isn’t just about the dress—grooms deserve to shine too! While tuxedos and suits are timeless staples, modern grooms are getting bolder, more creative, and more confident in personalizing their wedding day style. Whether you're going full formal or embracing a more relaxed vibe, here are some stylish ways for grooms to add a touch of flair to their look—and make it unmistakably their own.
1. Statement Boutonnières
Think beyond the classic white rose. Go for bold blooms, herbs, or even succulents to match your color palette or your personality. Some grooms even incorporate family heirlooms like a small pin or charm into the boutonnière for extra meaning.
2. Unexpected Colors
Who says the groom has to wear black or navy? From rich jewel tones like emerald and burgundy to soft, romantic pastels, colored suits or jackets can make a striking statement—especially when coordinated with the overall wedding aesthetic.
3. Patterned or Textured Jackets
A velvet blazer, subtle floral jacquard, or even classic plaid can elevate your look without overdoing it. These textures photograph beautifully and help distinguish the groom from the rest of the wedding party.
4. Custom Linings
Give your look a personal twist with a custom jacket lining. Whether it’s a meaningful photo collage, your wedding date stitched inside, or a favorite quote, this hidden detail is just for you—but makes a big impact when it’s revealed in photos or during toasts.
5. Monogrammed Accessories
From cufflinks to pocket squares to shirt cuffs, adding initials or a meaningful date is a subtle but sophisticated way to personalize your outfit. Bonus: these make great keepsakes or gifts for the wedding party, too.
6. Funky Socks or Shoes
If you're sticking to a traditional tux or suit, accessories are your chance to get playful. Consider fun patterned socks, bold-colored shoes, or even custom sneakers that reflect your interests or favorite team.
7. Signature Scents
Okay, this one isn’t visual—but it leaves an impression. Choose a signature cologne that’s sophisticated, memorable, and maybe even something your partner hasn’t smelled before. Scents can bring memories rushing back for years to come.
8. Jewelry & Watches
Don’t be afraid to add shine. A classic timepiece, signet ring, or tie bar can add polish and personality. More fashion-forward grooms are even opting for layered chains or earrings—so long as it feels authentic to your style.
Let Your Personality Lead
The best style tip? Be true to yourself. Whether you're a bold dresser or a minimalist at heart, your wedding look should reflect who you are and how you feel most confident.
