All eyes are on the bride on her wedding day, but that doesn’t mean the groom has to stay out of the spotlight. Finding a wedding outfit that shows off one’s style and personality is just as important for grooms as it is for brides. But how do you create a look that turns heads while also keeping you comfortable and relaxed as you celebrate your big day?
Break out of the norm with your suit
There is a classic elegance to the traditional black suit, but that doesn’t mean you need to wear one at your wedding. Experimenting with different styles, materials, and colors allows you to create a unique and attractive look that’s full of personality and charm.
For example, you can make a statement by wearing a velvet suit at your wedding instead of a traditional linen, cotton, or wool suit. Velvet is an opulent, timeless material that suits any season or style. Plus, velvet suits come in a gorgeous variety of rich, luxurious colors, giving you plenty of options to find the perfect suit for you.
Be bold with your accessories
Accessories immediately add an extra touch of personality to your look, making them a fantastic way for grooms to stand out on their wedding day. A bold tie, colorful pocket square, fun lapel pin, or classy cufflinks are all great ways to further customize your look. You can also use accessories to match the bride or the wedding theme. Just be careful not to overdo it—too many bold accessories can create a hectic outfit that distracts from your overall look.
Incorporate stylish prints or patterns
Liven up your wedding attire and break free from traditional solid colors with fun prints or patterns. Stripes, check, paisley, and florals are all stylish, sophisticated options that befit a groom. If you don’t want to go all out with a patterned suit, keep it subtle by choosing a patterned tie, shirt, or waistcoat. Prints and patterns on other elements of your attire are a great way to bring contrast to your suit and help you stand out from your groomsmen.

I love writing about the transformation of my city on the world stage, which hasn’t been anything short of dramatic. That continues on, as I write this. I write on the real estate scene. I write on travel and fashion. I like following the world of luxury watches.
But I love writing about cars – check that, luxury cars, a level of superior, engineering sophistication, high performance and style, that transports you not just from one destination to another but also out of whatever you are going through on a particular day, whatever mood you are in, all to another head space. It’s complete and total exhilaration, head to toe.
