There’s more to being a groom than showing up and wearing a nice suit. Your groom’s look is as important as yours on the big day, so have a theme in mind when accessorizing and styling the groom and groomsmen. Whether it’s a classic touch, like cufflinks and a silk tie, or something bolder, like suspenders and striped socks, we have a few ideas to have your husband-to-be looking his best.
Boutonnieres are a great way to tie in your wedding theme and colours and add dimension to an otherwise ordinary suit. You can match your man’s boutonniere to your bouquet or combine other elements of your wedding like branches or bling. With an endless list of unique possibilities, boutonnieres are a small touch that go a long way. Read on for 17 of our favourite styles and colours.

I recently found some amazing options from Tissot, a Swiss watch company, who has been around since 1853. Celebrity fans who have worn a Tissot on their wrist include Grace Kelly, Angelina Jolie, Nelson Mandela and Elvis Presley. Put your man in the company of other stylemakers and give him something he’ll cherish for years down the road. Here are three styles we’ve got our eyes on.

Is your man not particularly keen on a fantastic floral boutonnière? He is not alone! Here are a couple of options that will encourage him from not only wearing a pocket square on your special day.
The man’s man seems to love the idea of being different, and being different means greens only… with maybe a couple of berries! This sounds boring, but in actual fact can be stunning. Proof is in the snappy collection [side picture] of snakegrass, beargrass, pittosporum, hypericum, and salal. Now does that bout not yell, “I’m a man!”? Read the rest of this entry »

Handkerchiefs are the perfect grooms gift. Agreed? But, do the boys in your bridal party know how to put them to good use? Luckily, I found this cheat sheet (tip: hand these instructions over to them with the gift) on how to make pocket folds look stylish on your wedding day.

I really have to give this invitation a standing ovation. It’s hilarious, it’s detailed, it’s so unique and by far by the best invitation, designed by the groom himself, that I’ve seen. I found it off of my new fave DIY blog iDiY.
Although I don’t know the couple, I feel like I have after reading their story above. It was too long to post, so read the continuation below. Read the rest of this entry »
