I love a tuxedo as next as the much person, but it is not the only option for wedding attire for a groom. Unless the wedding is to be very formal, in the spring and summer months, it can be so much more fresh and modern to lighten things up a bit. Enter the khaki suit: appropriate for an elegant daytime wedding yet perfectly in style for the season, it can be an excellent alternative to either a tuxedo or a traditional navy suit. These are some ideas on how to style khaki suits for the groom and his groomsmen.

One of the fantastic things about a khaki suit for a groom is that it is both classic and fresh at the same time. It also feels more celebratory than a business-like navy or charcoal suit, which is ideal for a wedding. Being a light colored neutral, you will also find that a khaki suit allows you to be as expressive as you want with the rest of the groom’s attire, including his shirt, tie, boutonierre or pocket square, and cufflinks.

A spring garden wedding is a wonderful place for a khaki suit. Instead of a basic white shirt, why not have the men in the wedding wear shirts in a pastel color? Pale blue is always handsome, or select a shirt color which coordinates with the wedding colors. Light yellow shirts are very springy and surprisingly neutral. A discreet pattern on the groom’s shirt, such as a tiny gingham check would be a marvelous addition.

A great idea for a tie for a garden wedding would be one with a small floral print, such as a Liberty floral. It would look fresh and springlike with a khaki suit and light colored shirt. If your groom will not go for a floral print, a small print in a motif which appeals to him could be nice, such as a green and white golf design. Keep the rest of the accessories simple, such as a classic pair of silver monogrammed cufflinks (these also make great groomsmen gifts). A cheerful daisy boutonierre would be a great finishing detail.

In the summer, khaki suits are perfect for nautical themed weddings. What could be more crisp and classic than khaki paired with navy and bright white? For a dash of color, mix in subtle accents of lime green or red. Starting with the shirts, pair the khaki suits with either a pure white or an elegant French blue. Embrace the nautical theme with anchor or sailboat cufflinks, which are not only terrific gifts for groomsmen, but also for the groom himself. Select a tie which either has diagonal stripes or a discreet nautical print. Motifs like anchors, ships’ wheels, knots, or whales are just a few appropriate tie motif ideas (check out places like Vineyard Vines for great looking options).

If your groom likes strong colors, another great look for a khaki suit is to pair it with a sherbet color for a casual summer wedding. Try a mango or pale lime shirt with a crisp finish, which would be ideal for a wedding with an orange or green theme. Another option is to stick with a basic white shirt, but let your groom have fun wearing a tie in his favorite color, whether it is a summery turquoise or a deep purple. When the wedding is informal, you may consider substituting a decorative pocket square for a more traditional boutonierre.

With so many ways to wear one, the khaki suit is really the go-to look for spring and summer grooms. Handsome but not stuffy, the khaki suit is the perfect compromise between wanting to look polished, yet summery. Best of all, unlike a tuxedo, the suit will become a versatile part of his wardrobe for the future.

Your wedding day, being the most special day of your life, will remain embedded in your heart forever. Which is why, you must not lose yourself in all the planning and organizing. Pamper yourself and make sure you do everything you can to look your splendid best on your big day! So, even though the wedding attire is given the prime focus, it is important to look into issues like the choice of hair and make-up, shoes that compliment the attire and other such seemingly trivial yet very important details.

Things to Look Out for When it Comes to Choosing Wedding Shoes:

Perfecting a look involves paying attention to detail. Glam up, on your special day, by choosing, shoes that compliment your wedding attire perfectly. Make sure to not only focus on the look of the shoe but to also pay attention to the material of the shoe, the size of the heel and yes, also the comfort factor.

- Material Used:

Shoes are made of so many different materials. Make sure that the shoes you zero in on, for your wedding day, are not made of any material that you are allergic to, since an allergy breakout is the last thing you would want on your wedding day. Check with the shopkeeper on details of the materials used both on the shoe as well as the embellishments on it. Embellishments like stones and crystals can get uncomfortable at times when it comes in contact with your skin so make sure that they are placed in such a way that won’t bother you.

- Size Matters!

An important issue that must be looked into, while selecting your wedding shoes, is the size of the heel. Remember your fiance and you must complement each other so don’t make a choice based on individual perspective, ignoring the bigger picture. Don’t go buying shoes that would sky rocket you to being heads taller than your fiance.

The size and shape of the heel of a shoe often decides the comfort factor of it as well. Keep in mind that you will have to stand for a long time and walk around meeting guests, quite a bit on your wedding day. Pencil heels and extremely high heels are generally considered to be uncomfortable and difficult to walk in. Make sure that the shoes you opt for have an optimally sized and shaped heel that makes you look glamorous without compromising on the comfort factor.

- The Pocket Pinch:

By the time all your wedding planning materializes into the actual ceremony, you will see your bills magnifying unimaginably. Make sure to allocate your budget smartly on your wedding attire, shoes, hair and make-up. Look for a reliable and cost effective shop before you go wedding shoe hunting since some designer shoes these days could be even more expensive than your entire wedding attire! You can now even turn to the online shopping market for selecting competently priced wedding shoes.

Now that you know what to look out for while choosing your pair of wedding shoes, make sure nothing stops you from looking your glamorous best on your special day!

If you are like most brides and grooms, you want your wedding to be fun and unique. One of the big trends recently is to throw a wedding reception that feels more like a fabulous party or a family dinner than a traditional wedding reception. Check out these tips on how to have a fantastic cocktail party style wedding reception that your guests will truly enjoy.

When planning a cocktail party wedding reception, you really want to channel a 1950s/1960s retro vibe. Imagine the days when people truly knew how to dress; the men were debonair and dashing, the women polished and glamorous, and everyone enjoyed a good martini or a g&t. You can capture that sophisticated aura for your wedding reception by using drinks, attire, and decor inspired by the mid-century. (Not so much the food, though – the 50s was not a time known for its culinary adventures, and your guests deserve something better than creamed chicken or tuna noodle casserole!)

Start planning your cocktail reception by choosing a fab 1950s inspired gown. This will be a piece of cake, since the 50s were the biggest runway inspiration for bridal gown designers at the last bridal market. A strapless gown with a fitted waist and a flouncy skirt will look feminine and flattering. Tulle and organza are among the best fabrics for this style of wedding dress, and they are often accented with lace or embroidered embellishments. If you want a wedding gown with a sassy edge, choose tea length over the traditional floor length dress. Naturally, pearl bridal jewelry will be the perfect accessory for your retro cocktail party look. The great thing is that pearl bridal jewelry is so classic that the pieces you buy today will look absolutely appropriate with a vintage inspired gown, but will still look chic decades into the future.

Then there is the food and drink menu to be considered. Classic cocktails like gin and tonics, Manhattans, sloe gin fizzes, and whiskey sours will hit the right note. It’s always nice to have a few cocktails in fancy glasses, so to be sure to add martinis and Champagne cocktails to the bar menu. Put your own personal stamp on the reception with custom coasters and cocktail napkins to dress up the bar.

A wedding reception just wouldn’t be right without great food, and this is where a retro cocktail reception will deviate from the mid-century inspiration. Rather than a seated dinner, serve heavy hors d’oeuvres, which basically means that there will be enough appetizers that your guests will leave feeling satisfied. This is a trend which guests really like, because at most weddings, the appetizers are the most delicious part of the wedding anyway. Feature a wide variety of little bites, both passed and at stations to help your guests feel full (and to soak up the cocktails). When planning a reception with appetizers instead of a traditional menu, it is wise to plan it to start later, such as at 7 or 8pm, and to note on the invitation “Hors d’oeuvres reception (or cocktail reception) to follow”. This will alert your guests to eat dinner before the ceremony, if they are so inclined.

Of course every great party has great music, and the music of the ’50s and ’60s is perfect for a wedding. Hire a big band or a quartet which specializes in standards and swing, and set up a play list heavy on Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, as well as modern crooners like Harry Connick, Jr. and John Pizzarelli. The right music will really establish the mood of your reception, not to mention, get people dancing. With all of the elements in place, you can be sure that your cocktail party wedding reception will be a night to remember.

Every year spring feels like a breath of fresh air after a long winter. Just as a winter wedding should feel cozy and rich, a spring wedding should capture the essence of its season by feeling crisp and new. These are some ideas on how to plan a fresh spring wedding that will be just perfect.

Think crisp, fresh, and simple for a spring wedding. Nothing too fussy or overdone is needed. A simple elegance should be the goal. Cheery colors such as yellow and grass green are amazing for the spring, and pair beautifully with neutrals such as pure white and navy blue to create that fresh feeling. There is a reason that the first spring collections in the fashion world, known as either resort or cruise, usually feature an abundance of those colors, and it is because they feel new and clean after the dark and rich colors that are in fashion for the winter months. Using this design for a wedding will make for a beautiful atmosphere that your guests are sure to enjoy.

A great place to begin is with the wedding invitations. White stationery with a spring motif embossed across the top would be lovely. Some ideas for the motifs include a watering can, a tiny bunch of flowers, or a dragonfly. A yellow detail on white paper would be subtle, or go a little brighter with a grass green accent. Navy lettering would be a great alternative to basic black ink – still relatively formal, but with a little personality. A striped envelope lining will tie it all together.

As for the bride and her bridesmaids, crisp fabrics such as silk mikado, shantung, or organza would be ideal for the dresses. A simple strapless gown in a silk white with tailored details would be stunning for the bride. Complete the look with a ribbon edged veil and pearl bridal jewelry. For the bridesmaids, striped dresses would be fantastic in faille or shantung. A toned down version would be an organza dress in a solid color with a contrasting band at the hem and neckline. The navy would be a great accent color on either a pale yellow, grass green, or white knee length bridesmaid dress in an A-line shape. Classic pearl bridal jewelry like a tin cup necklace would be a pretty finishing detail for the bridesmaids.

There are many wonderful flowers which would be gorgeous for a spring wedding. The freshest effect will be created by selecting wedding flowers with clean lines, such as tulips or mini daffodils. A small bouquet of yellow mini daffodils handtied with a green grosgrain ribbon would be just right for the bridesmaids. For the bride, a combination of white tulips, yellow mini daffodils, and a bit of greenery, such as spring green hosta leaves will look as fresh as a spring morning. Keep the size of the bouquets modest and the ribbons simple.

Keeping this same color palette throughout the rest of the wedding will create a harmonious look. White tablecloths banded with wide borders in one of the signature colors will make a crisp background for the tablescape. Or try something more whimsical, such as a woven ribbon table topper in grass green and pale yellow. It is a great way to add character to basic white linens for your reception. Striped napkins and centerpieces in clear or white vessels will be the perfect finishing additions to your fresh spring wedding.

Have you always been the type of woman who is more comfortable playing sports than shopping for shoes and handbags? You are not alone – there are plenty of women whose style is athletic and sporty rather than frilly and girly. When a sportier woman becomes engaged, it can be like being suddenly asked to take on a very unfamiliar role, that of the traditional gal who loves things like ribbon and lace and monogrammed napkins. The trick is to plan a wedding that feels like you and reflects your own style and interests. Here are some tips for tomboy brides to get you started on the right foot.

The biggest issue for many sporty women is the wedding gown. If you are unaccustomed to wearing dresses or even skirts, donning a floor length formal gown is likely to feel very much like putting on a costume. No matter how beautiful the gown, if you feel like a fake, you will not be happy. There are many styles of bridal gowns, though, that can feel very comfortable to a more athletic or tomboyish bride. The key is to shop for the one that makes you feel the best, rather than worrying about what your mother or guests would like to see in you in!

Stay away from strapless styles if you are not used to wearing tightly fitted or formal clothing. A tank style or halter gown will be just as beautiful, but you will not have to worry about keeping it in place all night. There are many wedding dresses which have clean and simple lines without a lot of frills or embellishments, which is often more pleasing to a bride who dislikes frou-frou styles. Simple wedding jewelry like a classic pair of pearl studs is a good option, or choose wedding jewelry which is a bit chunkier and more modern like a heavy silver necklace.

Your wedding decorations should feel like you, not some other bride. Do not feel like your wedding has to be traditional or lacy if that does not appeal to you. Clean and fresh may be more to your liking. Informal flowers like daisies are a nice option for the bridal bouquet, as they have that great fresh-picked feeling. Wildflowers are another great idea for the wedding flowers for a tomboy bride, thanks to their natural outdoorsy flavor.

It can be really fun to design your wedding with details which showcase your interests, so let your sporty side shine on your wedding day. Choose a motif which speaks of your favorite pursuits and carry it throughout the wedding. This can be especially nice if your fiance shares your interests. For instance, if you love to play tennis or sail, emboss the top of your wedding invitation with a small motif in the shape of a pair of crossed racquets or a sailboat. If you and your fiance bonded over football, instead of a groom’s cake shaped like a football, have a bride’s cake in the shape of a football. Let the traditional cake be the groom’s cake, or simply have the special cake with a sheet cake in the the kitchen for additional slices.

Your wedding will be the most enjoyable for everyone if it feels like you. When you are a tomboy, there is no reason to try to hide your sporty side on the wedding day. You want to plan a wedding about which your guests will say, “Oh yes, this looks exactly like the woman we know and love!”.

A wedding is a wonderful excuse to indulge your love of all things graceful and beautiful. What could capture those ideals better than the art of ballet? These are some of the loveliest ballet inspired wedding details to get you started.

One of the first steps in planning any wedding is to decide on a color scheme. Pale ballet pink is a wonderful color for a wedding. Pair it with a soft ivory for a delicate and feminine effect. If you wish to add a bit more elegance, dainty silver accents will be perfect with the ballet pink. The words to keep in mind are ethereal, graceful, and feminine.

The lighter-than-air ballet pink color palette is gorgeous for many of the wedding details. It is a flattering color that is very easy for bridesmaids to wear. The soft color is especially lovely in floaty chiffon fabrics. To bring a touch of the ballet style to your bridesmaid dresses, choose fluttery chiffon gowns which have dainty bodices with tiny straps and perhaps even a wrapped detail across the middle of the dress. Bridesmaid jewelry in pale pink crystals or pearls will bring the look together beautifully. Such pretty bridesmaid jewelry makes a fantastic gift idea for attendants.

Then there is the bride herself. If you love the ballet, you are in luck this season, because there is a plethora of tulle in the bridal collections. Nothing says “ballerina” more than a floaty tulle skirt. A satin bodice will really help to emphasize the ballet reference, or select a gown which is created entirely from tulle. It is not necessary to wear ballet slippers on your feet, but a flat shoe with ribbon which wraps around the ankle would be sweet. Naturally, the bride’s hair should be in a bun, but keep it soft and natural instead of pulling it tightly as ballerinas typically do.

You can really have fun with your flower girl when planning a ballet inspired wedding. This is a chance to be a little more direct with your theme without having it be too much. Little girls look absolutely adorable in tutus, so feel free to run with that idea. If there is one thing that young girls love, it is twirly skirts, so she is sure to love wearing a tutu style flower girl dress. Accent your flower girl’s hair with a velvet flower wreath in the palest of pinks.

Ballet pink is an easy color to find in wedding flowers. Romantic and feminine floral arrangements will be ideal for bouquets and centerpieces. Cascading butterfly orchids and cherry blossoms are the style of flowers which will really suit the inspiration. Wrap bouquets with wide pink or ivory satin ribbon in a criss-cross pattern for the perfect finishing touch.

A neat way to further explore a ballet wedding theme is with music. There are many famous songs from ballets, most of which happen to be very romantic. Work with your band or musicians to select a ballet song as an alternative to a traditional processional song for the wedding ceremony, and perhaps another one for an elegant first dance song. It is this sort of attention to detail which will really help to make your wedding memorable and special.

There are so many fun ways that you can use pattern to make your wedding more festive. Rather than safe (and potentially boring) solids, why not introduce a cheery pattern to your wedding attire and decor? These are some suggestions on how to perk up your wedding with polka dots.

Let’s start with the bridal gown, because that is where it all begins. An all white wedding dress need not mean a solid white fabric. For a summer wedding, a gorgeous look would be a white-on-white polka dot fabric with the dots embroidered on a sheer organza fabric. Small dots would have the classic Swiss dot effect, and larger dots would be more whimsical; either would still have a nice subtlety, thanks to the all white color palette. These embroidered polka dot fabrics would be a wonderful choice for a strapless gown in the 1950s party dress silhouettes that are so popular right now.

Another fun idea for polka dots is to select dotted bridesmaid dresses. For a classic nautically inspired effect, a white or ivory dot on a navy dress is crisp and fresh; perfect for a seaside wedding. The timeless look of pearl bridesmaid jewelry would complete the look beautifully. If your style is more retro, choose a red fabric with medium sized white dots, which have a touch of whimsy. A great cut for this dress would be a strapless style with a red fabric belt. Chunky pearl bridesmaid jewelry adds the right style to this bridesmaid ensemble.

Polka dots can be used in many ways throughout the wedding decorations. They would be wonderful for tablecloths to dress up a plain space. The color combination that you select will help to create the feeling that you want. Black and white polka dotted tablecloths are both chic and vintage, especially when paired with pink flowers in the centerpieces. For a cheerful spring wedding reception, a pale yellow and white polka dot fabric would be a great way to perk up the tables. Fresh green, yellow, and white flowers in white vintage hobnail vases and pitchers will bring it all together. Or go for a very stylish color palette of pink and brown. The polka dots will help make this sophisticated color pair more upbeat and relaxed.

When you have a great wedding design going, naturally you will want to extend it to your wedding cake. Polka dots are fabulous for a cake, and in fact if you want only one polka dot detail, this could be the place to introduce it. Small white on white Swiss dots are a classic style for a wedding cake. They look simply sweet with “pearl” borders along each tier. If ultra girly is your goal, top the cake with a large frosting bow with streamers that cascade down the tiers of the Swiss dot cake. A light flavor like lemon would be perfect for this confection.

You can also go bold and funky with a polka dot wedding cake. Use large dots in a variety of sizes and colors in a flat fondant. Ask your baker to scatter the dots randomly over a smooth fondant cake with round tiers. The look will be eye-popping, very mod and hip. One of the best color combinations for this effect is turquoise, lime, and mocha on a white cake.

There are many more wonderful ways to make your wedding cheery with polka dots. From the invitations to the ribbons on the bouquets, you can have fun using either a little or a lot of this upbeat pattern. One thing is for certain: a polka dot design wedding is one which is going to be very happy and a lot of fun for everyone.

Sure, we all know that the bride is destined to be the star of the day at a wedding, but what about the groom? Let’s not overlook him! More and more men these days agree: what they wear matters too, and believe it or not, many grooms have opinions on their wedding attire. Here is a look on the trends in wedding attire for grooms.

One big trend for formal weddings is for the groom to wear a tuxedo with a straight tie rather than a bow tie. You only have to look to Hollywood to see this trend in action on the red carpet. Check out how dashing Hollywood’s leading men look in their tuxedos with straight black ties at the Academy Awards. This is a trend that has come into its own in mens’ wedding fashion, as well. A lot of guys think that the bow tie is just too dorky or old-fashioned, while the straight tie feels much more hip and modern.

Bring that around full circle, because there is also in fact a revival of bow ties on younger men these days (huh?), just not with formal tuxedos. Grooms and groomsmen are wearing bow ties in fun prints for preppy weddings. To see how to interpret this wedding trend in a way that is preppy-chic, not old fuddy-duddy, flip through any Vineyard Vines catalog. There you will see how a bow tie with a nautical motif or even in with the logo of your alma mater can be very cool when worn with a khakis, a navy blazer, and a pastel shirt (pink, if you dare; light blue or yellow, if you dare not).

The hip city loft wedding trend is going strong, and the attire that would suit a groom in a country club or hotel ballroom simply will not work in such an aggressively hip setting. The answer: a custom suit (or at least a custom tailored one). The cut of the suit should be more Hedi Slimane than Brooks Brothers. Anything Italian is good. A British cut suit can also work well if the groom has the “geek chic” thing going on, but it has to be worn with an air of irony and slightly mussed hair.

Even more traditional grooms are taking more of an interest in what they wear for their weddings. They may not go for custom suits or Hollywood inspired fashion, but that doesn’t mean that they are willing to leave the entire decision in the bride’s hands either. These are the grooms who will wear a classic tuxedo for the evening or a navy blue suit for a daytime wedding, but they use their accessories to put a personal stamp on the outfit (yes, technically, men do wear accessories!). It could be as subtle as a patterned pair of dress socks instead of basic black, or adding a dash of color to a suit with an interesting pocket square. Many brides will also give their fiances gifts of wedding jewelry which can be worn to add personality to their attire. Popular wedding jewelry gifts for grooms include silver cufflinks and pocketwatches.

So you see, it is in fact possible for a groom to show some style on his wedding day. He is probably in no danger of upstaging the bride (let’s hope not!), but he can still put together a look that has character and personality. And brides, just think of how handsome your stylish groom will look in the wedding photos!

Bridget Mora writes for Silverland Jewelry about weddings, style, and etiquette. Gifts of wedding jewelry such as silver cufflinks are great for the groom and his groomsmen.
