Your wedding colour scheme doesn’t stop at bridesmaid dresses and groomsmen ties. Coordinating all groomsmen accessories, from pocket squares and boutonnieres to cufflinks and socks, elevates your colour matching wedding game, creating a polished and cohesive look across the bridal party.
1. Pocket Squares
Pocket squares are a subtle way to reinforce your wedding colours.
-
Exact Match vs Complementary:
- An exact match to bridesmaid dresses can create harmony.
- A complementary shade can add depth and visual interest.
-
Fabric Considerations:
- Silk pocket squares add sheen, perfect for formal events.
- Cotton or linen squares suit casual or outdoor weddings.
2. Boutonnieres
Boutonnieres tie together colour, texture, and seasonality.
-
Choosing Flowers:
- Pick blooms that reflect your wedding colour scheme.
- Mix flowers and greenery to match or complement bridesmaid bouquets.
-
Metal Accents:
- Pins in gold or silver can enhance the overall palette without overpowering colours.
3. Cufflinks and Shirt Accessories
Even small touches like cufflinks, tie bars, or collar pins can carry your colour match strategy.
-
Tips for Matching:
- Choose metals that complement rings or watches.
- Add subtle pops of your wedding colours through enamel or gemstone details.
4. Socks and Shoes
Don’t forget the lower half! Socks and shoes can reinforce your palette.
- Socks: Fun opportunity for colour accents — match to bridesmaid dresses or wedding theme.
- Shoes: Keep neutral (brown, black, tan) or consider subtle tones for seasonal colour schemes.
5. Tips for Coordinating Accessories
- Start with your tie colour as the anchor.
- Mix and match textures such as a silk tie with linen pocket square works beautifully.
- Keep metal accents consistent across pins, cufflinks, and tie clips.
- Test combinations under natural light to ensure colours work together.
