Weddings are about grooms, too!
Just like you, he wants to look (and feel) his best on your wedding day. Though he might never admit it, your gent wants to be the most debonair groom around. So, tell him to follow the same golden shopping rule for brides:
Be yourself. Just a little (or a lot) fancier.
That means if he’s quirky, choose a suit or accessories (like a cool hat) to show off his style. Or, if he’s a classic kind of guy, select something that suits his gentlemanly palate. Then there are the things that no groom should be without: a chic watch, well-fitted clothes, and a big smile.
The best thing about your guy wearing what he loves? It’s the likelihood he’ll wear it all again! Which means that suit, shirt or snappy bow tie will get trotted out again on another special occasion, making your sweetie’s look dashingly green!

The Sweetest Thing
A couple’s first dance…the toss of the bouquet…and of course, the cutting of the cake! All time-honored traditions of the reception celebration.
In recent years, the wedding cake has become the pièce de résistance of the reception, a décor element and something guests are guaranteed to look forward to. The beautiful thing about cakes is that they can be inspired by almost anything-color palettes, places, pups-really anything you can imagine!
Some of the most gorgeous couture confections have been inspired by gowns themselves- featuring frilly detailing, jewels, and floral accents that well…take the cake!
A few tastings…

He Wears It Well!
From casual chic to ultra formal to anything in between, grooms have style options! Wedding wear can and should be a reflection of a green groom’s personal style. The key for wedding day attire is to be comfortable, fashionable and of course, eco- friendly!
A custom suit from a local tailor is a great way to keep the groom in eco-friendly style. European designer Rawganique offers suits options made from organic euro hemp, as does Conscious Couture, whose suits for grooms are made from hemp silk!
If your groom is a vintage kinda guy, British clothier Savvy Row specializes in men’s vintage couture.
Eco-friendly designers such as Solosso and Blank Label specialize in green groom’s style, offering custom shirts made from natural fabrics such as Egyptian cotton. They prove that bespoke doesn’t have to break the budget!
For a little bit of color and fun, add an upcycled bow tie from Xoelle found on Etsy!
Also, remember that tradition is not just for brides- grooms can use something borrowed too. A tie, pocket square or a newly-tailored suit jacket borrowed from a good friend or family member is such a special way to go green!
We adore borrowing too, so for inspiration for our green grooms, we thought we’d borrow some pics of some stylish green grooms from past issues…

Budget Friendly Attendant Gifts
If you could, you’d gift something fabulous to every wedding party member. After all, those ladies and gents were chosen because they’re special to you both. However, those presents can add up and tip your wedding budget onto the wrong side of the spreadsheet. We all know that price and a meaningful (eco-friendly) gift are not mutually exclusive, but faced with finding just the right thing has a way of making one’s mind go blank.
So, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite wallet-friendly attendant gifts to get you inspired!
