7 Cool Trends for the Groom

While the bride is typically the focus of the wedding day, her groom isn’t just standing off on the sidelines.  His style will complement their couple-fabulousness.  We’ve come a long way from the boring groom-in-a-black-suit that you see topping a wedding cake,  Grooms can rock their own wedding style with little fashion touches, color, and fabric choices.  Here are some easy ways to up your “groom game” from the experts at Birkat Elyon, purveyor of high-quality cubic zirconia engagement and wedding rings.

CREAM COLORED SUITS

For couples marrying in warmer months, shades of white aren’t just limited to the bride’s dress.  Grooms can up the elegance with a suit in a classy cream tone.  An additional trendy note?  Do it in linen – that’s the current “go-to” fabric for spring/summer ceremonies.

FUNKY FLORALS

What goes better with a solid-colored suit than a pop of florals?  Whether its a tie, vest, or shirt, florals are a “thing” right now.  Some super-hip grooms are opting for an entire floral-themed suit!  While you might think that florals are limited to spring or summer weddings, many fashion-forward grooms are including “darker” patterns for fall or winter garb.  Florals set against a navy, black or burgundy background are just the ticket.

BOLD BOUTONNIERES

Ditch the plain old rose or carnation on the lapel.  The trend now is for eye-catching arrangements centered on bold colors or floral choice.  Consult your florist for a boutonniere that takes it to the next level with an amazing pop of color.

JEWEL TONES

If you’re marrying in the cooler months, jewel tones are the new thing for grooms.  Burgundy and rust colors go particularly well against the bride’s white/cream dress.  But don’t overlook emerald green or deep sapphire.  Depending on your “style” as a couple, you can really mix it up.  The other bonus?  Whether your particular style is traditional, boho, modern or anything in between, a jewel-toned getup can really work.

BLACK ON BLACK

At the other end of the color spectrum, “black” still rules.  But mainly, if it’s delivered in a super-hip “black on black” style.  For example, black embroidery on a black vest or tie. There are tons of options – so get creative.  This trend is perfect for couples who love an edgier “rock” style.

TEXTURES

Mixing up different textures like silk, leather or velvet into the groom’s attire is on-trend these days.  It works especially well if you’re marrying in cooler months.

FUNKY TOUCHES

If the groom has an artsy or creative side, it makes perfect sense to accessorize with “boho” style accessories that reflect that spirit.  A cool hat, suspenders, gloves – whatever speaks to that unique style is absolutely called for on his big day.
