There’s no doubt that a groom’s attire is just as important as a bride’s look.

With so much discussion over what a bride should wear, let’s not forget that grooms also have the daunting task of whether to wear a suit, custom suit, tux or go casual. We talk about how to make that big decision in this blog.

But it doesn’t stop there. Grooms have to put thought into how they should look from head to toe — and we love it when they go the extra mile to add special, personalized touches.

Here are a few of the most unique groom accessories that we’ve seen.

Don’t say “no” to standout neckwear.

While you should choose neckwear that matches your wedding colors, you also shouldn’t be afraid to consider patterned, striped or colorful skinny ties, extra long ties or bowties.

A statement piece can help break up the monotony of a solid colored suit or tux. Don’t be afraid to be brave!

Turn heads with your significant other by choosing a pattern or color your guests will least expect.

Statement socks.

There’s nothing like being surprised by a unique pair of socks.

We’re not just talking about bold prints. We’ve seen grooms wear socks with prints of their favorite superhero, food (like pizza or beer) or cartoon character.

Want to give your significant other a laugh and maybe make their heart skip a beat? Personalize your socks with a custom print of their face. We’ve tested and tried these custom socks from Amazon.

Personalized cufflinks & tie bar.

The e-commerce world has made it easy for us to order personalized tie bars and cufflinks and get them sent to our doors within days. Personalize your cufflinks with your initials or buy a pair that suits your personality. The range of cufflinks on the market is endless.

We love a custom tie bar with a small message, wedding date or your names engraved on the back of the piece. Small business owners on Etsy offer this service at an affordable cost.

Printed pocket square.

Pocket squares are just like neckwear — consider a bold pattern that matches your tie or bow tie.

Or surprise your significant other by custom printing your pocket square with your initials, future spouse’s new initials or wedding date. It’s a touching, simple gesture that can go a long way.

Be daring & debonair with lapel pins.

We believe that the right lapel pin can add a distinguishing layer to your suit or tux. It showcases your personality and adds a touch of elegance. Be careful when wearing a lapel pin, however. You may want to consider ditching the boutonniere or toning down your neckwear. A lapel pin is a statement piece in and of itself.

Check out these lapel pins that have made a groom’s attire look even more handsome.

Who says you need to be predictable on your wedding day? Standout with these unique groom statement pieces. Simple touches to your look can go a long way, and they don’t have to break the bank. Most of all, have fun with it.
