Accessorizing with Flair: Your Wedding Look with Suit Accessories
Complete Your Look with Details That Make a Statement
When it comes to wedding day style, the groom and his groomsmen deserve to shine just as brightly as the bride and her party. While the suit sets the tone, it’s the accessories that truly personalize the look and elevate it from simple to standout. Whether your style leans classic, modern, rustic, or bold, the right touches: ties, boutonnieres, cufflinks, pocket squares, and more, can transform a good look into a great one.
At Louisville Suits, we help grooms and wedding parties find the perfect accessories to complement their wedding style. Here’s a guide to help you build a polished, cohesive, and unforgettable wedding day look.
Ties & Bow Ties: Set the Style
Your choice of tie or bow tie says a lot about the vibe of your wedding. For a black-tie or formal affair, satin or silk ties in classic black or rich jewel tones add sophistication.
If your celebration is more relaxed or outdoors, consider patterns like florals, plaids, or linen textures.
Matching or Mix-and-Match? You can match ties across the wedding party for a uniform look or vary styles while keeping a cohesive color palette.
Tie Bars also add a refined touch and keep everything in place, especially in outdoor or windy settings.
Want something extra special? Custom or monogrammed ties make a stylish gift for the groomsmen, too.
Pocket Squares: A Pop of Personality
A pocket square is one of the easiest ways to add flair to a suit. Whether folded neatly or puffed casually, it brings color, texture, and contrast to the lapel area. It can either coordinate with the tie or contrast it for a more unique look.
For example, a navy suit with a blush tie and a floral-print pocket square can create a perfectly balanced spring or summer wedding ensemble. You can also use the pocket square to tie in wedding colors or echo floral elements from the bouquets or décor.
Boutonnieres: A Floral Finishing Touch
Boutonnieres are the ultimate accessory for adding a romantic, custom touch. Typically pinned to the left lapel, these mini floral arrangements can reflect the wedding’s color scheme, match the bride’s bouquet, or tie in personal elements meaningful to the couple.
Some popular boutonniere ideas include:
A single rose or ranunculus with greenery
Mini succulents for a modern touch
Dried flowers and wheat for rustic fall weddings
Classic white blooms with a satin ribbon wrap for timeless elegance
At Lloyd’s Florist, we create handcrafted boutonnieres that coordinate seamlessly with your overall floral vision. Each one is carefully composed to reflect the mood and setting of your day.
Cufflinks: Subtle Sophistication
Cufflinks might be small, but they add a level of sophistication and polish that’s hard to ignore. For grooms and groomsmen wearing French cuff shirts, cufflinks are a must, and they’re a great place to show a bit of personality.
Options range from elegant (gold, silver, mother-of-pearl) to playful (initials, sports team logos, or even themed designs for your wedding). Monogrammed cufflinks also make thoughtful groomsmen gifts and lifelong keepsakes from your wedding day.
Suspenders, Socks & Shoes: The Details Matter
Don’t overlook the rest of the outfit! Coordinated or quirky socks are a fun way to inject color and personality, especially for photos.
Suspenders, especially in rustic or vintage weddings, can serve both form and function. And the right shoes (polished leather, suede loafers, or classic oxfords) will complete the look.
Even belts, tie pins, and watches contribute to a well-rounded wedding style when chosen intentionally.
