When you're standing at the altar, every detail counts, and cufflinks are one of those small finishing touches that quietly say, I've thought this through. Whether you're the groom, a groomsman, or someone buying a gift for either, the right pair of cufflinks will elevate the outfit and add a lasting touch of class.

At Buckle, we've been helping Aussies dress for their big day for over a century. Here's how to choose the perfect wedding cufflinks, and why they matter more than you think.

1. Keep It Timeless (So You’ll Still Like Them in Photos)

Your wedding photos will stick with you forever — so go for a pair of cufflinks that won’t date fast.

Best picks:

• Polished silver-tone
  
  
• Matte black or enamel
  
  
• Clean shapes like round, oval, or bar styles
  
  
• No gimmicks, no logos
  
  

Cufflinks should complement your suit, not compete with it. If you’re wearing a tux or dark tailored suit, opt for sleek and minimal.

2. Match the Vibe of the Day

• Black Tie or Formal Wedding?
  Go with classic satin or silver-tone cufflinks. Pair with a white French cuff shirt and a black bow tie for a polished, traditional look.
  
  
• Rustic, Beach, or Outdoor Wedding?
  Consider brushed metals or warmer tones — gold-tone, brass, or even a touch of texture. These play well with beige, light grey or linen suits.
  
  
• Smart Casual or Semi-Formal?
  This is your chance to add subtle personality — a deep colour pop, matte finish, or vintage-inspired design.
  
  

Whatever your theme, Buckle has a pair that fits without feeling try-hard.

3. Coordinate, Don’t Copy

You don’t need to match your cufflinks to every other accessory — just make sure they don’t clash.

Pro tip:
Match metals where possible — cufflinks, belt buckle, tie clip or watch should share a similar finish (silver with silver, gold with gold).

If you're wearing a pocket square or boutonnière, keep the cufflinks clean and tonal to avoid looking too layered.

4. Personal but Not Tacky

We get it — you want cufflinks that say something. But there’s a fine line between meaningful and novelty.

Go for:

• Monogrammed or initialed cufflinks
  
  
• Heirloom-inspired styles
  
  
• Timeless shapes in quality metals
  
  

Avoid:

• Sports teams, jokey designs, or anything that feels like a bucks night leftover
  
  

This is your wedding — not a costume party.

5. Gift-Worthy for Groomsmen

A great pair of cufflinks makes a brilliant groomsman gift — especially when paired with a handwritten note or bundled with a tie or bow tie.

Why they work:

• Useful on the day
  
  
• Timeless keepsake
  
  
• Easy to wrap and present
  
  

Buckle’s cufflink sets come ready to wear, and they’re made to last.

Final Word

Cufflinks are a small detail that leave a lasting impression — especially on your wedding day. Whether you're keeping it classic or adding a subtle twist, Buckle’s range of cufflinks ensures you’ll walk down the aisle looking the part.
