Wedding Suit Accessories Every Groom Needs

If you think the suit is the only thing that matters on your big day, think again. The little details – a crisp pocket square, a pair of sleek cufflinks, the right shoes – can turn a good look into an unforgettable one. Below we break down the must‑have accessories, why they matter, and how to pick them without breaking the bank.

Core Pieces: Tie, Pocket Square, and Cufflinks

The tie is the centerpiece of a groom’s outfit. Choose a color that echoes the wedding palette but still stands out from the bridal party. If you’re wearing a classic black tux, a deep navy or burgundy tie adds personality without stealing the spotlight. For the knot, the Windsor works for most lapels; it’s big enough to fill the space and looks tidy.

Match the tie with a pocket square that shares a hue or pattern, but keep it simple. A white square with a subtle border works for most suits, while a patterned one can add flair if the rest of the look is muted. Fold it neatly – the classic puff fold is easy and looks polished.

Cufflinks are the silent hero of a suit. They’re a chance to show a bit of personal style – think a tiny monogram, a family heirloom, or a modern matte metal design. Pick a material that complements your shirt’s buttons; if you have pearl‑buttoned cuffs, silver or gold cufflinks keep the look cohesive.

Shoes, Belt, and the Finishing Touches

When it comes to shoes, comfort matters as much as style. Classic black leather oxfords pair well with most suits, while polished brown brogues work for lighter fabrics. Break them in before the wedding to avoid sore feet during the ceremony and reception.

The belt should match the shoe color and material. If you’re wearing a tuxedo, a simple black satin waist belt is the safest bet. For a navy or charcoal suit, a leather belt in the same shade as your shoes pulls the look together.

Don’t overlook socks – they should be long enough to stay hidden when you sit, and a dark color that matches the trousers works best. If you want a pop of color, a subtle pattern at the cuff is a fun surprise for anyone who catches a glimpse.

A watch can be either dressy or casual, depending on the style you prefer. A thin metal band or a classic leather strap fits most wedding attire. Avoid sporty digital watches; they clash with the formality of a suit.

For those wearing a boutonnière, coordinate the flower’s color with the bouquet or your tie. A simple white rose or a sprig of greenery keeps the look balanced.

Lastly, consider suspenders if your suit’s trousers aren’t waist‑high. They add a vintage vibe and keep the pants in place without a belt. Choose a color that matches your shirt or tie for a seamless feel.

All these pieces are available at Farah's Bridal & Couture, where you can try them on with your suit to see how they work together. Their expert staff can help you pick accessories that match your style, budget, and wedding theme.

Bottom line: the right accessories make your suit feel custom‑tailored, even if the suit itself is off‑the‑rack. Pick a few key items, keep the colors coordinated, and you’ll walk down the aisle looking sharp and confident.
