Our guide to groom accessories with inspiration from our stylish grooms!
Groom Shoes
Now if Elvis could write a whole song about the importance of his blue suede shoes and Cinderella gets a whole fairytale about her glass slippers, it's safe to say that shoes are very important in completing your wedding look. So if you're after something shiny, suede, matte, or furry...do whatever feels right. Whilst you might feel like you have to go business in the front with your suit, you can definitely do party at the bottom (with some red bottoms, perhaps?) and choose something a little different for your footwear.
Formal Leather Derby Shoes Ted Baker
Step up (see what we did there) your style game with these Ted Baker leather derby shoes. What we love about these shoes is that they're made from aniline leather. Due to the hand-finishing process that brings out its unique markings, each pair is one-of-a-kind, making them truly special - perfect for a wedding day!
Black Derby Dress Shoes Hawes & Curtis
If you're looking for something sophisticated and formal but still fashionable, then these Hawes & Curtis dress shoes are the ones for you. These shoes are the ones walking you down the aisle and into married life, so they should be pretty important. The minimalist design of these groom shoes is our favourite part about them!
Groom Buttonhole/Boutonnière
The buttonhole is what makes your suit a wedding suit (in our humble opinion, anyway). Whether you choose a buttonhole with florals that match the vibe of your wedding day and the rest of your wedding flowers or you choose something completely different to make you stand out, we're so here for it. Take a look at some of our fave buttonholes from our real grooms below.
Macgregor and Macduff white Heather Buttonhole
Buttonholes are a must-have finishing touch in our minds. Your buttonholes could add a bit of personality to your suit and even tie in with the rest of the wedding flowers for a cohesive vibe. This one is from Recommended Supplier, MacGregor and MacDuff!
The Real Flower Company at selfridges Dolly Buttonhole
These buttonholes from The Real Flower Company use fresh flowers consisting of one rose, one foliage and two herbs. You can request the colour flower you'd like and they handle the rest. They recommend delivery the day before, so they can ensure that everything is perfect!
Groom Hats
A fan of hats? Want to hide your hair? Or just want to jazz up your look? Then go for a groom hat. If you fancy a bowler hat, a fedora hat, a straw hat, or even a cowboy hat you can see all our grooms and groomsmen pull them off so well! Without the hats, the grooms still all look very dashing but they look even better with them on!
Christy’s Brand Black Wool Felt Top Hat
This black top hat from Hawes and Curtis is crafted in quality wool for any classic wedding day or black tie event. The top hat is fully lined for that luxury and comfortable feel.
Straw Trilby Hat With Trim Ted Baker
Getting married in the summer? Ted Baker offer this straw hat with a comfortable fabric sweatband so that you can face the warm weather with confidence style.
Pocket Squares
If you're not a hat person, focus on the other details like the pocket square. Out of all the groom accessories here, the pocket square might be the most simple. Take fabric that matches the bridesmaid dresses, a piece of fabric in the same colour as the flowers or your tie. Maybe you and the groomsmen or your whole I Do Crew (we're all for mixed-gender wedding parties) are in a different colour scheme entirely. Have some fun with it and show off your personality! Go mismatched, have a cartoon of your beloved pet, or get it embroidered with a personalised message (a great gift idea for any of you best men reading this!).
Charles Tyrwhitt Spot Silk Pocket Square
This light sky blue pocket square is ideal for weddings in any season. We're obsessed with this charming fairytale blue tone. The groom needs something blue too. This soft pure silk pocket square by Charles Tyrwhitt is a groom's accessory worth having.
Moss Sage Berry Pocket Square
Feeling something more funky? This pocket square by Moss is a genuine Liberty print. The sage-toned berry motif with deep purples and light blues is ideal for summertime. A pocket square is a subtle way to add some personality to your wedding look.
Groom Ties & Bow Ties
Add a personal touch to your wedding look with your ties! Add a customised tie clip with your initials, your partner's initials, and/or the date of your day. If you fancy something even more personal that is guaranteed to be a tear-jerker, stitch or glue a meaningful picture to the tie with an intimate note from a loved one or to a loved one if this is a gift idea. Plus, go crazy with your ties or bow ties! Add some pattern or colour to your suit. Personally, we're big fans of floral ties!
Cotton Tie - Flowering Gum Peggy & Finn
We had to include a tie from Recommended Supplier, Peggy and Finn, in this groom's accessories roundup. This tie is inspired by the Native gum trees of Australia, with touches of pale pink and shades of green. Gorgeous!
Black Silk Bow Tie Hawes & Curtis
We've included the more flamboyant options, but we also wanted to showcase the classic and timeless options. A black silk bow tie is an accessory that would never steer you wrong and this one by Hawes and Curtis is made from 100% silk!
Other Groom Accessories
Your hair and beard are basically an accessory to your outfit, too. Don't underestimate the power of some good grooming (excuse the pun) and maintenance. But, it's really the finishing touches that complete the look. Whether you go for some funky socks to show off your personality and style, embroidery on your underwear, some personalised and sentimental cufflinks or pocket watches, and other jewellery, it all adds up to create THE final masterpiece.
Ted Baker Woven Texture Leather Belt
The woven texture of this Ted Baker belt is exactly why we selected it for this roundup. The texture and the sleek metal hardware with the Ted Baker logo are sophisticated and adds a stamp of style to any wedding look.
Personalised Sterling Silver Cufflinks
.These classic silver cufflinks from Aspinal of London can be personalised. Add your and your partner's initials to them or your wedding date to memorialise one of the most special days of your life. These also make a lovely wedding gift!
In our opinion, the more personalised your groom accessories are, the better!
