There’s something about a show-stopping, stylish groom that makes our hearts skip a beat. Brides aren't the only ones with impeccable taste, after all—and a groom who's able to hone in on his personal style for the big day speaks volumes (not to mention, he has the ability to help elevate wedding photos alongside his partner). That's why we're thrilled to see modern-day grooms play around with their ensembles, sporting special outfits that reflect their personality and one-of-a-kind relationship.

Between fun patterns, unexpected colors, and luxe fabrics, the looks that are dominating men's wedding fashion have been nothing short of unique and incredible. Plus, not only are grooms getting creative with their outfits, but they’re also using their fashion as an opportunity to build upon their wedding aesthetic, with many donning velvet jackets for winter nuptials and light linens for beachside bashes. Many soon-to-be-weds are even sporting cowboy hats, custom cufflinks, and printed socks to make their outfits their own.

Here's the best part: If you're currently planning a wedding, you can use the ensembles of past individuals to help inspire your ultimate day-of look. Just take a peek at our roundup of trendy grooms from real weddings for all of your fashion needs.
