Accessories- Put the finishing touches on your look with creative and personal extras
 
Whether you’re wearing a tuxedo, a suit, a kilt
or a kimono, your accessories add that extra
something and make your wedding day look
complete. From ties and pocket squares to
watches, cufflinks and boutonnieres, they all
say something about who you are and how
you're approaching your wedding celebration.
Use your imagination and have fun with the
process to find stylish items that support
your fashion intentions.
Classic accessories:
  • Wear suspenders with your tuxedo and a belt with your suit. Choose a formal bowtie or necktie
    with a slight pattern or texture to it for a little extra interest.
  • Perfectly polished or patent leather dress shoes finish off any formal look perfectly. Do not wear
    scuffed shoes in a formal setting.
  • Tuxedo shirts can have a wing collar or a fold down collar, and a variety of front panel designs.
    Look around to find the one that's right for you.
  • Cufflinks and shirt studs are a must for men’s formal wear, but they don’t have to be boring. Find
    creative cufflinks in the shape of something you love, scour ebay for vintage cufflink and shirt stud
    sets, or have some custom engraved that you can keep as an heirloom.


Casual accessories:

  • Get to the church on time with an interesting wristwatch or a pocket watch with character.
  • Wear a colorful or patterned pocket square with your suit jacket instead of a boutonniere.
  • Add color with your choice of ties. Coordinate with your wedding color palette and the ties you’ve
    chosen for your groomsmen.
  • Your hair and facial hair are accessories too, consider how you want to look on your wedding day
    and schedule a haircut or barber shop shave accordingly. 

Alternative accessories:
  • Wear brightly colored or patterned socks under your suit, and flash a bit of individuality
    throughout your day.
  • Boutonnieres can be made from more than just flowers. Interesting ferns, feathers, fabrics,
    jewelry, and even tiny toys can be used to make a one-of-a-kind accessory.
  • For guys who are fun and sporty at heart, pair classic Converse with your suit.
  • Layer on the patterns within the same color palette and create a textured and interesting look
    that’s all your own.
