How A Suit Maketh The Man

written by admin

Have you ever attended a wedding where a random man from the audience has got married instead of the Groom? Yes it could well sound like an episode of Eastenders. There are rules often unspoken but presumed to be widely known that you don’t dress like the couple getting married. Women shouldn’t really wear white otherwise “Congratulations” can go awry and men most certainly should not be dressed in the Groom’s colours.

That’s not to say you need to dress down, you cannot understate Men’s Fashion. Certainly the focal point of the event should be those getting married. I don’t know any man that likes to go to Weddings – well perhaps the one where he’s the Groom, you know just to get it over and done with. Functions are absolutely a women’s thing that we get dragged along to. If you’re single it’s also a chance to meet new people and sweep a woman off her feet and hopefully you’ll be gracious enough to see her again.

wedding-mens-suits-951368

Should you be dressing to impress? Yes if you look through any wedding photos there is always someone that hasn’t quite made it to the tailors on time to get fitted out properly. You know the sort, a college type that thinks a leg should end at a toe, or the Bow Bells geezer wearing a Policeman’s type snap on bow tie believing it to be the best way to look smart quickly, oh and just in case Phil shows up and there’s a brawl.

Well made suits are subtle in their design and effect but noticeable when in amongst a gathering of similarly dressed penguins. Whether your choice is a Morning suit / Grey, a Stroller, Conventional, Tails, Tuxedo or Smoking Jacket each will either be made for a certain event or happening or be dual purpose i.e. you’ve afford £2000 and yes you can wear it again at a different event of a completely different nature.

Not many of us get to buy a new suit simply because someone is getting married, however a Groom seeking out a suit will be best to do so with Best Man and any entourage in mind, ensuring all are complimentary to the Bride and Bridesmaids. A wedding planner can assist with a choice of colours as can tailor made suits. Getting the suits from the same Suit shop will ensure all suits match the dress code and that any hiccups can be addressed in a timely fashion.

suit-sophistication

Talking of time. Weddings are obviously complicated but if it’s before 6, after 6, in the morning. If it’s hot, cold, outside, inside, always be sure to plan a dress code that is suited to the weather and time of day. Be sure to read any invitation and if in doubt call to make sure. Just in case it is semi-Penguin formal and not half informal plus plus. The suit is not who you are but it is who you will be seen to be on the day so visit a tailor and smarten up.

Wild West Wedding Photoshoot

written by admin

One of the key wedding themes for the 2013 season is rural-luxe, such contrast to the sparkling glamorous themes that are also trending. Free-spirited, outdoorsy couples just love the understated look, nature-inspired, with the wind through their hair!

The Wild West inspired this breathtakingly gorgeous wedding photoshoot held at Hill Top Farm, North Yorkshire, close to Masham. Its rural location, complete with saloon bar and corale make it the perfect setting for our cowgirl’s and cowboy’s wedding.

The creative team, led by wedding planner and stylist, Nikki, photographer, Annemarie King and wedding and events florist, Christine Wright of Horti-couture with wedding dress designer and retailer, Andrea Bambridge. The rugged beauty of the prairies, the saloon-style venue and on trend colour theme, with the most gorgeous and flatteringly feminine shade of coral, inspired the team.

The attention to detail of this shoot and the clever use of the coral with contrasting navy blue, woven throughout the table settings, as well as the hessian, flowers, dress, saddle cloth and accessories allows the theme to flow, be easy-on-the-eye, and yet be uniquely inspiring at the same time.

Note how the Wild West theme is given an English twist with the beer glasses and the subtle use of union jacks that befits its Yorkshire setting and the clever place names visible through the clear glass dining plates.

The bride and groom models are the epitome of country-chic and the day-to-night look is achieved with the removal of the checked shirt to reveal a strapless bridal gown, with rag-twisted plaits, Navajo waistband and chunky tribal jewellery, topped off with more coral lipstick!

Wedding Dress Trends: Art Deco

written by admin

The dress is one of the most important parts of your special day. Not only for the bride, but for the groom who can’t wait to see the love of his life looking radiant, her parents seeing their little girl dressed as a princess and the guests who have speculated about the kind of dress the bride has chosen.

With ever changing trends and fashions from season to season, here are the Ideal Bride Magazines key trends for the 2013 wedding season. Find a trend that suits you and your theme.

Roaring Twenties Inspiration

Wedding dress designers have responded to the recent rise in vintage and Gatsby inspired weddings, with the inclusion of fabulous art deco inspired dresses in their collections. Art deco represents elegance, glamour, functionality and modernity.

Geometric curves and motifs are key details in an art deco inspired wedding dress. Capturing all that was great about the roaring twenties, an art deco style wedding dress will almost certainly be teamed with a vintage headdress.

Dresses For Your Body Shape

written by admin

A banana body shape has a strong, angular frame and suits styles that soften and show off a toned figure. Complimentary wedding dress styles include; Column, sheath, draping, gathering and ruffle. If you are a beautiful banana Bride then avoid ball gown styles, as they can make you look unbalanced if you are boyish on top.

Soft Bridal Wedding Inspiration

written by admin

Sometimes you just need heaps and heaps of pink and loveliness to stare at, like this bridal inspiration shoot by JOJO Photography and Film. Alchemy Styled pulled out all of the stops and drew up a shoot with all shades of pink imaginable, from the softest blush to the sweetest cotton candy pink, and further down to the deep magenta shades. Sumptuous blooms and botanicals were strewn all over the place by rose bredl, only adding to the whole femininity of the shoot. Pairing the pinks with a cool tone of gray paper goods gave it such a classic feel. This is certainly one shoot that left us wanting more of it!

From the photographer, Jennifer of JOJO Photography and Film: I created these images in collaboration with some amazingly talented female creatives in Columbus, Ohio. The shoot was planned to specifically feature the new Bohindi Bride line of accessories. The look was made to be soft and free, as well as bohemian but glamourous.

Go light! Most opt for a dark-colored ink when it comes to calligraphy, especially on lighter paper like this gray one used here. A stark white ink can give your wedding paper goods a neat dash of sophistication and can also bring your guests a unique wedding idea they may have never seen before. Plus, white ink is so chic on paper!
