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.
