Groom Ideas: 7 Unique Ways to Accessorize for the Big Day

From the dress to the décor, there are endless ways to infuse a couple's wedding with personality, and the groom's ensemble is no exception. But how can you help your husband-to-be hone in on an outfit that will make him feel confident on the big day? Most grooms probably already have an idea of whether they want a classic three-piece tux, a modern suit or a beach-ready button-down and dress pants, but accessories can be tougher to narrow down.

We turned to Hendrik Pohl, the stylish founder of menswear accessories shop, Bows-N-Ties, for some stylish ways to make a statement.

1. A pin dot tie adds visual interest and can bring a suit or tuxedo spring to life. Consider adding a coordinating pocket square in a rich hue as well.

2. Boyishly playful yet still wedding appropriate, a patterned bow tie is a fresh and modern way for the groom to accessorize.

3. A skinny tie with a flat tip has a retro sense of coolness to it. Knit ties are unconventional for most wedding parties but perfect for those who embrace a casual bravado.

4. A vintage-inspired paisley necktie isn’t your traditional wedding accessory, but it's perfect for a groom who loves ornate details. This type of tie adds the perfect pop of color for winter weddings.

7. Statement socks will make your groom look (and feel) dapperly clad. We recommend coordinating the color of the socks with the tie or bow tie.
