Here Comes the Men

When planning all the details for your wedding day don't ever leave out your groom and his men!! Let your grooms true style show. There is nothing more refreshing then seeing the groomsmen and groom rockin' anything but the typical black rented tux.

It is becoming more common for them to don a vest and bow tie or get custom made suits. Whatever your man chooses it will be a great way to incorporate a bit of his personality.

Top it Off

Grooms that aren't afraid to be themselves has to be one of my favorite things. Brides, encourage your grooms to wear what they feel comfortable in. Think outside of the black rented tux and top it off with a hat.

Slip This On

Grooms are often forgotten when it comes to fashion for the wedding day. A lot of people just throw on a rented tux and call it good. But I beg of you, please let your groom show his style even if its only with his shoes.

Tie Me Up

Bow ties are a personal favorite of mine. Something about their boyishly eclectic charm gets me every time. I've begged my man to wear one to one of the seven {count 'em: SEVEN} weddings we're attending this season, but he just won't do it...

If your guy is a bit more flexible, check out Forage Bow Ties! They'll be making their debut at San Francisco's Curiosity Shoppe at the end of the month!
