When it comes to wedding style, all eyes are on the bride’s dress—until they catch a glimpse of you and your groomsmen. Coordinating your look with your crew’s outfits isn’t just about looking good; it’s about nailing the details that turn your big day into a timeless memory (and Instagram-worthy, too). Whether you’re rocking a wood-and-tungsten ring or a sharp wood bow tie , here’s how to match your wedding accessories with your groomsmen's gear for a polished, cohesive vibe.

Step 1: Establish the Dress Code
Before diving into accessories, set the tone for your wedding attire. Is it a black-tie event? A rustic barn wedding? A beachside ceremony? Your dress code will dictate whether you go full tuxedo or opt for a more casual, semi-formal look. Once you’ve settled on the formality, share the vibe and your vision for groomsmen’s gear so everyone’s on the same page. The goal? You should stand out as the groom, but your groomsmen’s gear should look equally intentional and cohesive.
For formal weddings, opt for classic tuxedos or sharp suits, ensuring your groomsmen’s gear matches the sophistication of the event. Pair it with sleek accessories like silk ties or a wooden tie bar to add personality. Outdoor or rustic weddings invite a more relaxed approach, where lighter fabrics, suspenders, and accents like wooden bow ties shine. Make sure to balance your standout pieces with a unified color palette for your groomsmen’s gear and outfits.
Step 2: The Ring That Ties It Together
Your wedding ring isn’t just a symbol of your commitment—it’s a statement piece. Choose a ring that reflects your style, like a wood-and-tungsten band . The natural wood inlay adds a rustic, earthy vibe, while tungsten’s sleek durability brings modern masculinity to the forefront.
To tie it together:
- Gift matching accessories like wood-inlaid cufflinks or tie bars to complement your groomsmen's gear.
- If you’re feeling generous, a matching wood watch makes a killer groomsman gift and enhances their groomsmen’s gear.
Step 3: Coordinate Colors Without Being Matchy-Matchy
Here’s the golden rule: don’t force everyone into identical outfits. Instead, play with a cohesive color palette.
- If your suit is navy, let your groomsmen wear shades of blue or gray.
- Rocking a black tux? Have your groomsmen in charcoal or a contrasting dark hue.
- Add a pop of color to your groomsmen’s gear with accessories like ties, pocket squares, or boutonnieres that reflect your wedding theme.
Remember, Your groomsmen’s gear and accessories should complement yours. If you’re donning a bold wood bow tie , let them wear simpler ties or smaller wooden accents.

Step 4: Mix and Match Your Groomsmen's Gear
Your accessories are your secret weapon for personalization, and they should inspire your groomsmen’s gear as well. Your groomsmen’s gear and accessories should echo your look without stealing the spotlight. Here’s how to coordinate with your crew:
- Ties/Bow Ties : If you’re rocking a wood bow tie , let your groomsmen wear ties in the same color family. This adds harmony without overshadowing your statement piece.
- Cufflinks : Matching cufflinks scream "team unity." Opt for a customized groomsmen wood cufflink & tie bar set to seamlessly tie their groomsmen’s gear to your look.
- Watches : As the groom, your wood watch can stand out with unique details, while your groomsmen wear a simpler version. Tymber Gear offers styles for every role in the squad.
Step 5: Shine Through the Shoes
Footwear matters. While coordinating your groomsmen’s gear, ensure their shoes align with the style of the wedding and your vision.—like engraved soles with your wedding date or a different texture. Your groomsmen can stick to classic leather oxfords or loafers that complete their groomsmen’s gear in style.
Step 6: Don’t Forget the Groom’s Statement Piece
As the groom, you should have one standout accessory that sets you apart while complementing your groomsmen’s gear. Whether it’s a bold wood-and-tungsten ring , a custom pocket watch, or a monogrammed tie bar, let your personality shine. Your groomsmen’s gear and accessories should echo your look without stealing the spotlight, creating a seamless group aesthetic.
Step 7: Capture the Cohesion
When all is said and done, Make sure your photographer captures the details of your carefully chosen groomsmen’s gear, from cufflinks to bow ties. Those cufflinks, matching watches, and other elements of your groomsmen’s gear will shine in group photos, highlighting your unified style. Plus, you’ll want those shots to showcase your meticulous planning, with every piece of your groomsmen’s gear perfectly in sync.
Final Thoughts: A Style That Says "I Do"
Matching your wedding accessories with your groomsmen’s gear doesn’t have to be complicated. Stick to a cohesive theme with your groomsmen's gear, prioritizing quality pieces like Tymber Gear’s wood watches , wood rings , and wood cufflinks , and remember: your accessories are the finishing touch that brings everything together.
