A new addition to our favourites round up this year! This year's real weddings offered up some seriously dapper grooms that we just had to give them their very own round up! From sleek blue velvet blazers and bowties and and all-white looks to bold pattern and eclectic mix and match styles, to classic Navy with a twist, as well as some absolute Louis Copeland & Sons gems. Groom style is getting more and more creative, stylish and flattering (no ill-fitting rental suits round here!) and the proof is in the One Fab Day team's favourite Groom Style from the last 12 months...
Naoise, Managing Director
Naoise loved Emmanuel's stylish ensembles for both his traditional Nigerian engagement ceremony and his traditional Irish wedding reception. Emmanuel and Emma's wedding was captured by Bradley Henderson, see more from their two-part wedding here.
"What's better than one handsome groom in a gorgeous outfit? How about seeing the same man turned out beautifully twice - and in completely different styles! Emmanuel maintained major elegance with both his gorgeous Nigerian traditional wedding outfit in his first wedding to Emma, which was fascinating to learn about. It takes wedding style to a whole new level. For the traditional Irish wedding Emmanuel brought black tie bang up to date with a gorgeous black velvet tuxedo jacket and oversized bow tie. Loved both looks equally - fantastic to see a man with true style!"
Susan, Creative Director
It was Mike's cool bolo tie and cowboy boot combo for his wedding in Dublin City that stood out for Susan this year. Mike and Christine's wedding was photographed by White Cat Studio, you can see the day in full, here.
"Not your typical wedding look, but clearly a tried and tested look for Mike! I love it!"
Áine, Business Development Manager

Karen, Editorial & Administration
It was Bradley's slick check, double-breasted suit that he rocked for his surprise wedding at Loughcrew Estate & Gardens that Karen loved this year. Bradley and Amanda's day was photographed by Alexandra Celia, see the day in full, here.
"I mean, what a dapper look! I love the unique colour choice and how Bradley has styled it with a charcoal tie, brown cufflinks and shoes!"
Orlaith, Editorial
Orlaith loved Evan's stylish black tie look for his autumn wedding at Clonabreany House. Evan and Yasmina's wedding was photographed by Emma Russell Photography, see their day in full, here.
"Evan's slick velvet suit that he wore for his wedding day in Clonabreany House was a stand out for me this year. The lush Kooples suit with double-breasted waistcoat was perfectly teamed with a bit of luxury in a Tom Ford bow tie and all set off with a vintage gold pocket watch - effortlessly cool yet stylishly sleek."
Celina, Deputy Editor
Celina loved both Ed and Dave's looks for their beautiful barn wedding at Cloughjordan House. Ed and Dave's day was photographed by Louise Scott Photography, see their day in full here.
"Same-sex wedding styling can be sneakily tricky, but Ed and Dave nailed it with their co-ordinating-but-not-quite-
Claire, Editor
The stand-out stylish groom style for Claire this year was both Alex and Colin's glam looks for their stunning Cliveden House wedding. Alex and Colin's wedding was photographed by Luke Hayden Photography, see the day in full, here.
"Both Colin and Alex looked sensational on their wedding day, and I loved how their black tie looks paired together. Lots of same sex grooms tell us they struggle with finding the right contrasting suits, but this pair are showing us how it's done. They look so handsome and sophisticated! "
