This one is for the grooms and grooms only. Amongst the big white dress, décor, guest list, and overall planning and logistics of a wedding, it can feel like the confetti won’t be the only thing to come cascading down.
The Modern Groom
At Benkes of England we believe as much as it is the bride’s big day and the union of two people, the groom deserves to be at his best. Details matter, from the suit and accessories to wedding etiquette and how he coordinates with the rest of the wedding.
As the groom, your wedding day is an opportunity to look and feel your best. Your outfit should reflect the importance of the occasion, complement the vision of the day and most importantly make your bride think, ‘that’s the man I want to marry.’
Respect the Occasion (and Your Bride’s Vision)
It’s the thought that counts, a small finishing touch of a cufflink can elevate a suit into thoughtfully, personalised attire. Whether you choose classic sterling silver, warm gold, or an enamelled design, your cufflinks should feel like an extension of your personal style.
Your groomsmen are there to stand beside you, so it makes sense that their outfits match beside you too. Cufflinks are a simple way to bring the wedding party together in a style that compliments the groom while creating a coordinated look, especially when the photographs start coming out. Because in today’s world, did it even happen if its not on social media?
Matching, Not Mirroring
Not every detail needs to be identical for a cohesive, polished look. However, a defined colour scheme can really help create a well-coordinated wedding. The groom should naturally stand apart from his groomsmen maybe opting for a distinctive pair of cufflinks in a specific colour with the wedding date or his bride’s initials on and the groomsmen wear a complimentary pair, perhaps enamelled cufflinks with a subtle pattern in the chosen wedding colour that can be kept as a thoughtful keepsake.
The Thank You They’ll Remember
Your groomsmen have been there through the planning, the nerves, the celebrations and, hopefully the moments you’ll still be laughing about years from now. A pair of cufflinks can be more than just something to wear on the day, but a keepsake and a little reminder of the day they stood beside you.
Wedding style has changed, but the principles of dressing well have remained, for the modern groom cufflinks marry together tradition and personality and we think a pair of Benkes of England cufflinks would add the perfect finishing touch to your special day.
