Silk Accessories for Weddings: A Groom's Guide
The right silk accessory ties a wedding party together. Here's how to choose colours, coordinate the groomsmen and pick pieces worth keeping.
Start with the cravat or pocket square
For a morning suit or formal lounge suit, a silk cravat at the throat is the classic wedding choice. For a sharper, modern suit, a folded pocket square in the breast pocket does the same job with less formality. Many grooms wear both — a cravat with the pocket square picking up one of its colours.
Coordinating the groomsmen
Coordinate rather than match exactly. Put the groom in a distinct design and the groomsmen in a complementary one from the same palette — or the same design in a different colourway. Because our pieces are available in multiples, a whole party can share one design without it looking uniform.
Choosing colour and motif
Anchor the palette to the season and the bridal party: deep jewel tones for autumn and winter, lighter grounds for spring and summer. A heritage motif — Ajrak block-print, Mughal floral or calligraphy — adds meaning and photographs beautifully up close.
For Eid and festive weddings, richer grounds and gold-toned detailing feel right for the occasion.
A gift that lasts
Silk accessories make a considered thank-you for groomsmen — gift-boxed and kept long after the day. Our gift sets pair a scarf and pocket square for exactly this.
