Accessories also make the man; so definitely invest in or purchase some quality braces, tie clips, cuff links and waistcoats. Purchasing things like wedding ties and cravats, braces and cummerbunds if you’re having a black tie event, more than likely, you won’t be wearing these on a regular basis and it’s cheaper to rent them for the day.
With things like cuff links; these can easily be made into gifts that are perfect for your groomsmen to keep as a memento of the day and the occasion. If you’re planning on doing this, it’s best to keep them plain and classy as they’ll want to be able to wear them again.
Button-hole Alternatives
The button-hole is probably something that you haven’t even had chance to think about yet but obviously, it’s a must. You won’t see a wedding photograph without all members of the bridal party with something sticking out of their button hole. These are very easy to get wrong, the colors of fresh flowers can sometimes let you down and not go exactly with the color scheme, or they can wilt, fall out or get rained on!
There are some fun alternatives to flowers in button holes that can really make your big day full of personality.
Why not try a bunch of feathers, silk flowers or fishing flies, these are all pretty and striking ideas to brighten up your button hole. If you’re having a themed wedding, take something from that theme to pull it all together.
Finishing Touches
Make sure that everything is color coordinated; take swatches of color schemes whenever you go shopping to make sure that everything matches. Socks are important things to consider. If you have a rogue usher that might forget his socks, make sure that you have spares; you don’t want him to have to wear white sports socks or, even worse, no socks in your wedding photographs.
If you’re having a relaxed, chic wedding with a pastel theme, pastel colored socks could be a fun way to inject some color into your wedding suit. Tie pins are also a lovely finishing touch and could also be given, like cuff links, as groomsmen gifts. Tie pins are coming back into style with a vengeance, so get back on the dapper wagon with them and give them a try.
Hopefully you’re now well on your way to creating your perfect wedding, don’t forget those finishing touches.
