Top Hat & Canes: whether it’s a zoot suit or traditional black tux, canes – and even top hats – can add a great addition to the groom’s attire. A fun prop for wedding pictures and to help him look dapper as he strolls into the reception site.
Cuff Links: many tuxedo shops will offer this accessory. You can also select your own as a special gift from you to your husband-to-be to give on your wedding day. There are many sizes and shapes – many can be personalized!
Pocket Watch: another accessory that doubles as a special gift to your future husband. Inscribe with a special note about the ‘time’ you’ve spent together and the future that lies ahead.
Skipper Hats/Scaly Caps: here in New England, there is no shortage of scally caps - a favorite addition that adds character and flair to your groom’s apparel.
Socks: argyle, striped, or even “Groom” imprinted socks are a final touch that won’t go unnoticed! As he kneels at the altar or sits at the reception, his pant leg will rise slightly, displaying this often overlooked accessory!
Suspenders: another staple that is super adorable on grooms! White, black or even a wild print to match his personality are great choices for your groom-to-be.
Boutonnieres: skip the traditional rose and opt for something with a unique twist. Peacock feathers are a great choice in 2011 – why not add one to his lapel?
Umbrella: April showers bring May flowers…but in New England, showers can be any day of the year! It is thought to be a sign of good luck if it rains on your wedding day. However, getting drenched while wearing your gown may not be so lucky. Have your groom select an umbrella in a color that matches your wedding color scheme, just in case. Makes for a great prop in wedding pics.
Flip Flops: having a beach wedding? Then flip flops are a must! Fun for the entire wedding party and will also make for a great accessory on your honeymoon. |
