7 new ideas to make the bridegroom look his best

These looks will make the guy stand out more than his bride

For too long, weddings appear to have been only about the bride. They’ve been about how she looks and what she wears, while the groom – without whom, after all, the whole occasion could not take place – is sort of left in a corner, suited, booted, and unremarked.
