Dashing Ascots for Your Groomsmen and Groom from Ceravelo

Blame it on too much Rachel Zoe and her Rodger stylings but I’m starting to have a real hankering for a man in an ascot. It looks pulled together yet still avant garde; dashing but still very modern. And for a wedding? Ba.Na.Nas. (Oh, I didn’t mention that Sarah and I have a wee bit of an addiction? ‘Cause we do.)

Well, some things are just meant to be and the other day when I was out running (yes, like the out-of-breath kind) I happened upon a street fair and, lo and behold, there was ascot upon glorious ascot. Ceravelo, a just launched brand out of San Francisco, has taken the classic look of the dashing…

Ridiculously Awesome Boutonnieres from Fritts Rosenow

I know I can be a tiny bit dramatic (I’m your gal if you have good news to share) but when I walked by the Fritts Rosenow booth at the Fizz and Frills event I literally stopped in my tracks. Because on display was a miniature deer head on a lapel that was…a boutonniere! How clever is that? And then I looked a bit further and, lo and behold, there was C3PO waving hello, parked next to a tiny guitar boutonniere (with picks!) that would have perfect for my husband at our wedding.

After I caught my breath, I chatted with the lovely couple who handmakes all of the designs and fell even more in love with their creations.…

Affordable Custom-Made Suits for Your Groom and Groomsmen

We spend a lot of time around here talking about wedding dresses, hair accessories, shoes… all the ways you can look glam and gorgeous on your wedding day. But your guy looking and feeling his best is just as key (since it doesn’t typically involve ruffles and tulle, it sometimes falls off of our radar). And I can’t imagine a better way for him to feel dapper and distinguished than by wearing a tailor-made suit, created specifically for him.

Enter Proper Suit, who has done the seemingly impossible. They’ve streamlined the custom-made suit process by taking the whole endeavor online and kept their pricing affordable by shipping directly from the factory where the suits are made (we’re talking $450…
