What is a wedding cummerbund?

A wedding cummerbund is a wide band of pleated fabric, typically made from silk or a similar material, worn around the waist between the shirt and the pants. This formal accessory is commonly paired with a tuxedo for weddings, often with a matching bow tie and a tuxedo shirt. Similarly, a cummerbund wedding dress is a trendy style of bridal gown that cinches at the waist with a cummerbund-like sash and has a sophisticated, vintage look.

How do you wear a cummerbund?

Just like knotting a tie, strapping a cummerbund onto your waist takes a few steps: A cummerbund ties around your waist. The main purpose is to cover the part where your shirt meets your trousers. As a general fashion rule, wear your cummerbund with the pleats facing up. The hardware should be at the back. Usually, cummerbunds adhere with buckles or clips, or they’re tied in a bow. Wearing a cummerbund or vest for a wedding depends on personal preference, but they’re both intended for the same purpose. Wear one or the other, not together. You also shouldn’t wear a belt with a cummerbund.

What are popular styles of wedding cummerbunds?

Cummerbunds are traditionally black silk, but they also come in various colors and materials to coordinate the look of the wedding party. Whether you choose to keep it traditional or go for a more eclectic look, Etsy shops offer a range of styles to suit any groom’s taste. Solid color satin cummerbunds are popular and come in a rainbow of hues. Other trendy cummerbunds feature various prints and patterns , from classic stripes and polka dots to bold and playful designs. They can be a great way to add a pop of color or personality to a groom's formal attire. Many shops on Etsy sell coordinated cummerbund sets with matching bowties and other wedding accessories , making it easy to find the perfect pairing. Or opt for a vintage cummerbund for a touch of class and timeless style. Some shops on Etsy create personalized cummerbunds that can be customized with embroidered names or initials, the wedding date, or other meaningful details. They’re a great way to add a personal touch to the wedding ensemble and also serve as a keepsake or gift.
