The Groom Style
Unique
Wedding Ideas for the Groom
Sure, it's common
knowledge that brides are going to be the center of attention at any
wedding, but have you ever stopped to consider what role the groom is
supposed to play? Of course he is important too, right? Without the
groom there would be no wedding, so what sense does it make to belittle
the importance of the groom in a wedding, as well as his appearance.
Just as it is important for the bride to look and feel glamorous and
fabulous, it is just as important for the groom to look and feel equally
fabulous. Here are a few unique ideas to help your groom stand out and
look and feel as important as they are to the whole marriage and wedding
idea in the first place.
First of all, the new thing for grooms is to do away with the
traditional penguin style tux idea. This means no ruffles, no butler
coats and no bow ties, at least not in the traditional sense. In
addition, many of the traditional bridegroom tuxes on the market have
done away with the more traditional idea of a cummerbund wrapped around
the waist of the groom and putting a waistcoat or vest in its place.
This gives a bit more of a casual feel to the whole tux idea while still
keeping things fashionable and sensible, and fit for a wedding.
While the fact that traditional bowties are on the outs in the new
and fashionable wedding, it is important to consider the role of
neckwear for the groom and the groomsmen as well. Neckwear can really
make or break the look of a tuxedo, and there are so many choices as to
what to wear around the neck it can be a bit mind boggling. If your
tuxedo is rather modest as it is, you are left with a few options as far
as neckwear that can be explored and implemented without overdoing it.
If you have a plain black or a plain white tux, you have the freedom to
kick some color into the ordeal by way of your neckwear. Add some
pizzazz to your tux by picking a complementary colored necktie or bowtie
to bring the wedding party all together. Is your flower of choice a
bright red rose? Finding an equally red piece of neckwear might help to
keep things together as far as color selections go, and it is a great
way to show people at the wedding that grooms are interested in fashion,
too.
Another one of the new and fashionable ways to complete the
bridegroom’s ensemble is to really go out there as far as the
buttonhole is concerned. Most grooms have small boutonnières, using
carnations or small roses to add a splash of color and freshness to his
outfit. What if you used a bigger, brighter flower for your buttonhole?
A small bouquet of flowers, if you will, for the braver bridegrooms out
there. Whether you are the groom or you know the groom will be a man
about it, trying more interesting flowers and flower arrangements for
his buttonhole is a great way to bring a fashionable appeal to any
groom’s tux.
Contrary to popular belief, shoes are an important part of an outfit
and even for grooms. Of course, the attention is going to be on your
upper body and the bride, but don’t you want to feel as good as you
look? Having a stylish and well-fitting, comfortable pair of shoes can
really complete your ‘groomification’ and is a great way to bring some
of your personal style into the deal. Leave the sneakers in your closet
and if anything, let your wedding be the one and only time you wear
ridiculously shiny and expensive hard shoes.
To be the best looking groom that you could possibly be, make
sure to complete the effect. With all of the hustle and bustle about the
bride’s dress, the guest list, the caterer, and the flower guy it can be
hard to forget about the small details for the groom. Get a haircut (a
good one). Get lined up, shaved, trimmed--whatever it takes to look your
best on your special day. Also, get a manicure so your hands will be
velvety soft and perfect, in a manly way of course, on your special day.
Remember, the bride and the groom should be equally important and
equally tended to on the big wedding day.
This means that every care taken for the bride short of a pedicure
should be exhausted on making the groom look his finest as well.
