Groom’s Fashion – It’s His Day Too!!

I always try my best not to exclude the groom when I’m working with my clients but I’ve neglected to do so on with my blog. Shame on me!! It’s his big day too so let’s make sure he looks his best.






Wedding attire is a major part of the wedding. Your attire of choice should go with the tone of the wedding. I have noticed that this is a detailed that is easily overlooked. For the groom and the groomsmen, here are some helpful tips on choosing the right attire.

Informal: Business suit, white shirt and a tie

Semi-Formal Daytime: Formal suit, white shirt, vest, tie or bow tie

Formal Daytime: Cutaway or stroller jacket, waistcoat, stripped trousers, white wing collared shirt, striped tie, studs and cufflinks

Formal Evening: Black dinner jacket, matching trousers, waistcoat, white tuxedo shirt, cufflinks, vest, cummerbund or vest

Very Formal Day Time: Cutaway coat, wing-collard shirt, ascot. Striped trousers or vest

Very Formal Evening: Black tailcoat, matching striped trousers, white wing collared shirt, waistcoat, patent leather shoes, studs and cufflinks, gloves

I know some of these details may be somewhat old fashion for some of you but take the pointers given, update the look and make it your own!!

Rich Bride, Poor Bride

I’ve been feeling under the weather these last couple of days so I’ve been spending a lot of time in bed with my laptop. This down time gave me an opportunity to catch up on some of my favorite wedding shows I love to watch and one episode in particular stuck out.

Are you familiar with the show “Rich Bride Poor Bride” that comes on WeTV? Well the premise off the show is to show how couples plan their wedding on different budgets, usually small to average. On this episode, the couple Kevin and Lindsay were on a tight budget of $15,000. Lindsay was by far the cheapest bride I’ve ever seen but she had her reasons. However, her cheap ways almost cost her great memories of her wedding. If you are a budget bride, this is the episode for you!! It will help you put some things in prospective. Even the bride realized she made some mistakes and should have paid for certain services. In this economy, we are all trying to save but before you do, seek professional advice on where to skimp and where to spend. You do not want to look back and regret your wedding or be unhappy on your wedding day.

Take Your Monogram Every Where!

This is a great feature I found on http://www.weddingstand.com/. This is a simple way to personalize your wedding. You can create your own monogram. There are over 20 designs and colors to choose from so you can make it your own. Once you have customized the monogram, they will send it to you as a high resolution jpg file on a CD. You can apply this to your invitations, favors, place cards and anything you would like to personalize. If you are a DIY, this is perfect for you. This adds a professional design to all of your DIY projects.
