5 Unique Accessories for Groomsmen to Stand Out
So your wedding is on the horizon, and you want to do all that you can to make the day a cut above the rest? Between venue, food, and decor, you have plenty of opportunities to get creative, but one piece of the puzzle you might have forgotten to consider is your groomsmen’s attire.
Don’t forget, as much as the groomsmen’s attire might not be your number one priority, these men will be in a good portion of your wedding photos, so making sure they look great and match your wedding theme is worth the consideration.
Whether it be a beach wedding, a traditional church wedding, or an intimate backyard wedding, adding unique accessories can help take that classic suit from expected to stand-out.
If this sounds like an aesthetic that you want to take on for your big day, consider some of these unique groomsmen accessories to help jazz up your wedding:
1. Personalized Cuff Links
We can admit that a cuff link is probably not going to make or break your wedding aesthetic, but giving your groomsmen a special token to remember the day can help add a level of comradery that you might not achieve if everyone is wearing the same rented suit.
You can personalize the cufflinks with initials, but you can also personalize them with nicknames, favorite comic book characters, sports teams, funny sayings, inside jokes, etc.
2. Coordinated Suspenders
Either way, we’re happy to report that suspenders can be an amazing addition to any bridal party, regardless of aesthetic.
Classic, beach, boho, or nautical, suspenders could be unique groomsmen accessory you’ve been looking for to help take your wedding style to the next level. Here are some examples of suspenders in weddings to get you inspired:

3. Bold socks
In this case, you can go for a colorful sock that matches your wedding colors, you can play with coordinating patterns, or you can go all out with various patterned socks to match the groomsmen’s personalities. For instance, maybe one of the groomsmen is known for his love of beer, so you get him a pair of socks with a beer mug print. Maybe another groomsman has a dog, so you get him a pair of socks with dogs on them.
You have a lot of options for how you implement this groomsmen accessory, but our best piece of advice would be to try and fit the socks within the parameters of your wedding (i.e. if you’re having a black-tie wedding, bright and bold socks might not be the best idea).

4. Sleek Sunglasses
Sunglasses at a wedding might not seem like an obvious accessory to choose, but that’s why we’re focusing on unique accessories today. We want to help you choose accessories that your peers might not think of.
Sunglasses, in particular, are great for summer weddings, especially if you plan on having a lot of outdoor photography.
