The Dapper Groom

Okay grooms...listen (read) up. Let's talk wardrobe. I have heard that tuxes are not the most comfortable thing to wear...and let's be honest, neither are bridesmaid dresses. Anyways, did you know that the latest trend in grooms wear is to get rid of the tux! Yes, you can thank me later (and I prefer chocolate over flowers). It's true, most people are opting to just go with a normal suit and to have their groomsmen follow suit (haha...it's been a long day, bare with me on the puns).
There are so many ways you can spice up a nice normal suit to make it wedding day acceptable! For example:

Get a fun/nice tie...and you may want it to match the color or theme of the wedding...

Or forget the jacket and just go with a vest...totally acceptable for an outdoor wedding

Bow ties! Dapper at it's finest!

 

Khaki suites seem  to be all the new rage...along with the fedora hat, which is always a nice touch!

So grooms, next time you start to get anxiety over a tuxedo...just remember, there are other options out there! Have fun with it!





Groom's Corner ?!?!



Think of it as being an equal opportunity employer…this phrase is what should be included when a man is debating with his fiancé on whether to have or not to have a “groom’s corner.”


According to the Knot, the man’s corner is one of the hot trends of 2011. To clarify, this is an area that has been left aside in the reception hall where all things “men” are allowed. There could be a playstation, a Wii, poker table, cigars, and other stereotypical “man” things. Maybe even a little golfing will makes it’s way in there.

So is this a good idea? Many people will over think this question and come up with an over analytical hypothesis on how it is bias and stereotypical, and how it will separate the crowd. Let’s be real, it’s FUN!!! In fact, I bet the females will love it just as much, if not more than the guys will. If the fiance’s are competitive, maybe there should be a “brides corner” with massages (maybe a male masseuse), cosmo’s, gossip magazines, and mani and pedi’s. Two can play this game

Want to add a little extra flare to your groomsmen?

Here are some ideas to make them fashionable, yet stand out from traditional groomsmen attire…

Got to love the sweater vest!

A little color to their tux!

Suspendors and the best man in a different colored shirt...

This may be going overboard (even the priest has a mask!)

Any other ideas out there?
