Here’s a creative list to surprise your groom on wedding day. Includes ideas on suiting, fun boutonnieres, specialty groom gifts, groom cake ideas, favors and so much more.
Let’s be honest ladies..brides spend a lot of time thinking about their wedding day! Wedding dresses, style, decor, food, and music are at the forefront of their Pinterest boards! But wouldn’t it be nice to surprise the groom with a few unexpected moments that make him smile!
So let’s get our “groom” on…and take a look at some ways to incorporate your groom’s spirit into his big day!
Groom Suiting
Groom’s suiting has come a long way from the traditional black tux and bow tie! There are so many options – everything from fabrics to design style. Does your groom like single-breasted or double-breasted suits, evening tails, or a morning coat. Perhaps vests, bowties, or pocket squares more his style Think about your color scheme and then add little touches of his personality!
Mix and matching your suit jacket with different color pants is a fun option. If your planning a spring or summer wedding – go for lightweight cotton or linen. If a fall wedding is in your future, velvet lapels, light wool or flannel suits look great!
If informal is your style…lose the tie or go with just a vest or suspenders!
Play with textures and color!
Boutonniere
Don’t stop there…the groom’s boutonniere is another place to show off his style. Move slightly off tradition by adding sprigs of rosemary, lambs ear, or thistle. Add pops of color with small pieces of fabric, feathers, or dried grasses wrapped in twine! Combined – this look is all you!
Bride Gifts for Her Groom
You’re marrying your best friend and you want to show him some extra love! A personalized groom gift box is a fun and unexpected gift idea. Think about what your guy enjoys and how he spends his time off. Is he active – does he hike, bike, run, or does he enjoy relaxing, reading, or watching sports with his best buddies.
Keep him stylish with a beautiful watch or set of cufflinks
Groomsmen Gifts
Gift boxes don’t stop there! This is an epic day…and your groom wants his buddies by his side. What better way to kick his wedding celebrations into high gear by presenting each of his groomsmen a personalized gift box.
Reception Time
It’s time to party and his unique spirit is reflected here too! Table centerpieces can be both masculine and floral! How do you achieve this…through color! Florals are soft and feminine but when grounded with masculine darker colors – it takes on a beautiful moody look! Dark-colored linen with metallics like copper, gold and black matte make a stunning table setting.
s he more of a sports enthusiast – his sport of choice can be worked in easily. If your color theme lends itself to his favorite sports team…add that into your tablescapes.
