What you wear on your special day is totally up to you. That said, cuff links are generally considered staple wedding accessories, especially if you're planning a more formal event. There are lots of great reasons to add a stylish or sentimental set of wedding cuff links to your attire. For starters, they can be a fun way to showcase your personality. Choose a set based on your interests, like mini metal baseballs or the motif of your favorite superhero. Wearing wedding cuff links can also be a nice opportunity to honor someone you love. Some soonlyweds may choose a pair passed down from their parents or grandparents as a sweet way to include them in the celebration. Of course, your wedding accessories don't have to have heirloom status just yet. You're free to pick out your very own set that reflects your individual style and taste. We've gathered some of our favorite picks below, from the modern and minimalist to the wonderfully whimsical.
