Offbeat grooms: Flowery groom

September 29th, 2008

This is what happens when the groom steals the flower girl’s wreath…

That said, I think grooms with floral wreaths should become an offbeat trend. The cuteness is too much! (PS: OBT members can admire more photos from this wedding over here.)

How adorable is this groom in his retro ruffle-shirted baby-blue tuxedo and handlebar mustache!?

More photos (including the bride in a stunning red dress!) can be seen over here.

Lots of grooms look great in kilts, but there’s just something about Miroslava’s groom Kevin that’s extra hot.

Is it the jacket? Is it the boots? Is it the hair? Or wait, is that kilt leather?! Regardless, Kevin’s taking “sexy kilt” to a whole new level.

Don’t get me wrong: Miroslava herself is positively dripping teh secksay in that bright red dress. But I’m used to seeing sexy brides. Grooms, for better or for worse, usually have to settle for “dignified” or “handsome.” Not this one!

You can see lots more about this Cannon Beach, OR, wedding on over on Flickr.

PS: I find that these photos are best enjoyed while listening to Kevin’s music.

One more Kevin-in-a-kilt shot below.

Thanks to Manolo for the Brides for pointing out that Volcom makes some damn styley tuxedos for your trendy little groom.

Described as having a modern fit (Never Teh Bride nailed it when she said “slim and kind of slouchy”), you can see the suits in action right here. The jacket and pants are both available on Amazon, for about $170 for the set.

StardustI positively adore this thread on the Offbeat Bride social network: What offbeat grooms are wanting to wear. Hint: it ain’t a tux!

… All too often non-traditional wedding planning falls along remarkably traditional gender lines, so it’s refreshing to see grooms who are so actively involved in envisioning their weddings. I wish there were so many more! We’re making progress, but it was depressing to me when I pitched my lit agent with the idea of doing an “Offbeat Groom” partner book, her answer was a simple: “No one buys books for grooms. Except brides. There’s just not a market for it.” Sad!

Kent, the offbeat groom who started the groom thread, even started an offbeat grooms social network.
