Okay, fellas, bear with me for one moment while I put forward the case for a lipsalve. First of all, there’s nothing less attractive looking, let alone feeling, than some seriously winter-chapped lips. It stands to reason, then, that you’d better make sure they’re looking good on your wedding day, or there might be a mightily peeved bride come photo time!
The best thing of all about this product is that it is scent and colour free, meaning that even your most beady eyed of friends won’t spot that you’re wearing anything on your smackers. Just in case that still hasn’t convinced you, look at that manly packaging… no frills on that, eh? Get some from Sephora online for $12.

I know I can’t be the only one feeling inordinately chilly right about now, so the prospect of getting wed in the outdoors requires serious evasive action. Especially for grooms, knowing how much they seem to end up having to stand around in the cold, a coat is a must.
Overcoats seem to have gone out of fashion with many these days, but a great vintage one means you’ll be ensured something warming, and with great classic looks that are ideal for a wedding. Best of all, an overcoat is wearable on top of your suit, and the stockists of this one offer just the right sizing to make that easy.

Keeping your expensive suit, and more pertinently your toes, dry on your wedding day is an absolute must. When you’re expected to traipse around for photos in questionable weather, an umbrella isn’t going to cut it, chaps.
Keeping your feet warm and dry is increasingly easy with formal boot styles for Winter. This pair are ideal for purpose, stylish and also budget friendly. From River Island they’re made from a leather upper in a great shade of brown. With a side zip and pointed toe, they’re unique and rather suave. Get yours online for £54.99.

Savile Row is one of those names that has risen above its original meaning. Far from some street sign, it’s a signature of class, style and history. A bespoke suit might be the stuff of dreams for many of us, but if you’re looking to gift your groom or another important chap, there are some cheaper alternatives.
This matching tie and cufflinks set is something that’s both stylish and practical, and there’s no denying the added glamour of Savile Row branding. The set is available in a range of colours and prints, each in matching sets. All of them are now reduced to £30, too.

Outerwear is something no Autumn/Winter groom can go without, and it isn’t something on which you should scrimp in the style stakes either. This Topman double breasted coat has that all sewn up, and it won’t break the bank either.
Made from a Premium wool/cashmere mix, it will feel every bit as luxurious as it looks too. Available in four colours including a lovely forest green, there’s one for every groom. At £150 you needn’t worry about it only getting worn for a couple of hours, either.

I’m always talking about how exciting it can be to opt for a non-traditional or civil wedding in terms of style, and its not confined to the bride’s options. If you’re a groom who’s going for a casual look, you can experiment much more with colour and pattern than with a traditional morning suit style.
This great Italian Stallion shirt from Boden is a great option for civil wedding ceremonies. The bright colour palette manages to stay classic and clean, providing and sleak and stylish edge that will work under almost any suit colour or style. It’s available from Boden for £59.

Bluefly’s new wedding shop is split in to two areas – for those of you who are in it (groomsmen, bridesmaid, mom) and those of you who are invited with civil, destination and black tie amongst the occasionwear options. Amongst the many dresses, you’ll also find shoes, handbags and accessories.
They ship to a number of countries (the list is here) but if yours isn’t listed, they might be able to arrange it.

Real florals at a wedding always look great, but sometimes they’re just not practical. Whether you’re looking for something out of the ordinary that just can’t be achieved with the real thing, or even if your groom suffers from hayfever, Silk Bouquets’ artificial buttonholes are fab.
This calla lily and iris petal buttonhole is made from silk and looks fantastic. A truly unique combination of florals for a wedding, this will make a really contemporary buttonhole for the groom or any of your guests. Check out the variety of handmade styles at the website.

Formal hats have gone out of fashion for grooms, but whether you’re going all out traditional, or you’re looking for a quirkier style, they might be worth a look. Anthony Peto’s hat designs are a great idea for Winter, from this top hat, to less traditional trilbies looking great and just formal enough for a stylish groom.
There are some more wintery styles available, especially suitable for a snow set wedding too. Prices start at around £55 from ASOS Man online.

I’m sure no one needs reminding of how very chilly it’s turning outside, but all is not lost in wedding style for the winter bride or groom. Accessories get lots more interesting, for me, in Winter, with wraps, hats and gloves.
These classic Napa leather mens gloves from French Connection provide a very classic menswear look that’s perfect for formal grooms in Winter. Paired with a stylish overcoat, icy climates are no problem (which is handy, since they look so great in photos!). They’re available from French Connection for £35.

Square toes are very much back in fashion in footwear for both men and women, so for a cutting edge formal shoe look at a great price, these Chisel toe shoes from Burton are ideal.
In a classic shined black leather, these slip on loafer shoes will provide comfort for all day wear, and a great, classic look that’s neat and sophisticated. They’re a bit of a bargain, as usual with Burton’s great pricing, at just £55. Don’t forget to wear them in for a day first!

While the bride spends months and months trawling for her ideal dress, it can be decidedly more easy for a traditional groom. For morning suits, though, you needn’t settle for ordinary, with a huge variety of colour and style options available.
Your one stop shop for great pricing and superb choice is Hugh Harris. With an impressively wide range, their suits cater to every colour scheme and are very reasonably priced. Three piece wedding suits start at just £85, and separates are available for men who need to mix and match in sizing. Find out more from the Hugh Harris website.

For grooms who are, as yet, uninitiated into the world of aftershaves and colognes, it can be rather a daunting experience. Much more of an unchartered territory for a lot of blokes (yes, still) than it is for us women, a gift of minis is a great place to start.
Paul Smith is a designer with stylish men in mind, and his aftershaves ain’t half bad either. This giftset of three miniatures is a great plan for grooms who aren’t scent afficionados, but wouldn’t mind making the bride swoon on the big day. It’s available from Jacamo for £15.

For me, there’s little more handsome than a man in a very stylish coat. Call me crazy, but it rarely fails. If you’re planning a less traditional wedding, but still want some formal class in the chillier months, great looking outerwear is a must.
This Brown Check Wool Coat from Burton’s Black Label is a great choice. While it’s structured enough to look the part, it won’t swamp your suit or look sombre like a black choice would. I absolutely love the slightly tweed look to the fabric, too. It’s available now from Burton for £120.
