Other accessories are also used in men’s wedding attire, namely:
Boutonniere
This small floral arrangement, decorated with netting, beads, and feathers, is pinned to the left pocket or lapel of the wedding jacket. It should feature the same flowers as the bride’s bouquet. By attaching the boutonniere near his heart, the groom expresses tenderness and deep love for his chosen one.
Of course, it is very difficult to keep flowers fresh until the end of the celebration. For this case, mini-capsules with a nutrient solution have been invented, into which the tips of the stems are immersed.
This accessory does not necessarily have to be floral. It can represent the groom’s personal qualities, hobbies, or profession. A scuba diving enthusiast will look natural with a boutonniere made of seashells, an IT specialist will suit a composition of microchips, and a musician will suit a miniature musical instrument.
The optimal size for a boutonniere is 10 cm.
Suspenders
It is believed that grooms lose several kilograms of weight at their wedding. This is because they are too nervous and do not eat enough. Therefore, suspenders in a wedding suit are a sensible decision.
But they are not only worn to keep trousers from falling down. Suspenders look very stylish. Even if the jacket and tie are removed during the celebration due to the heat.
Cufflinks
A groom in a classic suit will look much more sophisticated if he wears a shirt with cufflinks. Once considered a mandatory accessory for any formal event, cufflinks are now worn only if desired.
If desired, they can be decorated with engraved initials and complemented with a tie pin in the same style. The color of the cufflinks should match the color of the wedding ring. And then, they will be kept in your home as a family heirloom.
