Wedding Inspo - Groom Style Third Edition

While its true that we have a huge affinity for stellar bridal style on the blog, we can’t help but share a little bit of love with our stylish, dapper, and downright handsome grooms! Not only are these guys total on-camera knockouts, they’re also some of the kindest, most personable dudes you could ever ask for on wedding days!

We love a sleek, traditional black suit or tux, so how do grooms elevate this classic style? Our grooms have tapped into everything, from incorporating Southwestern flair with bolo ties or designer cowboy boots to adding personal touches like a cool pair of sunglasses or a surprise pop of color in their boutonniere or suit jacket lining!

And we’ve had plenty of grooms chose other colors for their wedding days suits as well including blue, grey, tan, and even mix-and-match colors! We’ve loved seeing how these guys dressed up colors other than black for their big day and adored seeing so many unique details including ties with tiny prints on them (from polka dots to florals) to broaches (instead of a traditional bow tie or tie) to opting for unique textures like wool.

Last season we saw an incredible variety of groom style and honestly we’re thrilled to see what our next guys have in store for us, we’re crossing our fingers for a few extra daring grooms with non-traditional suit colors! Until then, take a look at these wedding day hunks, we had the best time capturing each one of these wedding day hubbies!

Jason + Natalie, a Stunning Fall Wedding at La Fonda on the Plaza

On a very lovely Santa Fe day, Jason and Natalie said “I do” with the most spectacular, southwestern-boho wedding ever! These lovers came all the way from Chicago to celebrate the start of forever and they pulled out all the stops.

Jason and Natalie met about four years ago and even though Natalie cancelled their first date, Jason was persistent and the two of them finally met. After an 8 hour date walking around Lake Michigan, these babes knew they were meant for one another and now, years later, Jason and Natalie live the sweetest life in Chicago with their darling black lab/collie mix, Bartlet.

This fall, they began the next chapter of their lives together at the ever beautiful La Fonda on the Plaza. With stellar details from Funky Olive Designs, Rust Vintage, and For the Love Events, Jason and Natalie’s day was both stunning and super unique. Natalie made all her glam bridal dreams come true with her gorgeous Ines di Santo gown, complete with hand painted florals and the most epic train we’ve ever laid eyes on. Jason surprised us too with the coolest custom suit around (we’re suckers for anything with skulls on it!). We’re still trying to pick our jaws up off the floor thanks to our gal Zara of Maggie’s Wedding Cakes who created the perfect desert inspired cake (complete with pink watercolor cacti).

Cheers to more insanely beautiful, out-of-this-world days and congrats to Jason + Natalie! Here’s to a lifetime of beauty and love!
