Simply PERFECT!

The Language of Tuxedos

No matter how good the tuxedo looks on a hanger, just like the bride and bridesmaids, the groom and his attendants should select their formalwear based on style and comfort.  There also 6 keys points I'd like to bring to your attention about tuxedos and how "sexy" they can look on a man:

1. When you are getting fitted for your tux, it should fit comfortably at the neck and shoulders.  So make sure to sit and stand at the fitting as well as button and unbutton the jacket.
2. About 1/4 to 1/2 of the shirt's cuff should show below the jacket sleeve.
3. Same as the jacket, the pants should fit comfortably and button easily.  Make sure to sit in the pants during your fitting.
4. If wearing a vest, the buttons should line up with your jacket front and should button comfortably across the chest.
5. Consider renting shoes from the formalwear location, make sure to try the shoes on later in the day, like after work in case your feet have a tendency to swell.  It's better to have loose shoes than tight-fitting shoes.
6. Don't use clip-on ties!  If you are purchasing or renting a tie, make sure to try it on so that it fits sung around the collar.

Tulle Rules!

Tulle has made its comeback, but in my opinion it never left.  You'll still see tulle used in veils, wedding gowns and ceremony aisle draping, but I've found some fun and playful ways to add tulle to your wedding day and not break the bank.  Let me know what you think.

Perfectly Fit Wedding Gown

You will spend hours looking for the most perfect wedding gown to showcase your personal style and personality for the most exciting day of your life.  But once you have found your dream gown, there are alterations to consider.

When it comes to tailoring, make sure you budget at least $200-$500 for proper alterations and bustling.  And I'd suggest you allow the bridal salon's tailor to handle the fitting.  Once you remove the gown from the premises, it's yours to keep, and any "mishaps" from a non-professional tailor could have you looking for another gown.  Consider the brief timeline below for the perfect fit:

• First Fitting - should occur approximately 3 months before the wedding.  Please bring your wedding day shoes and undergarments to this fitting so that the tailor can accurately pin the seems and hem.
• Second Fitting - should occur approximately 1 month before the wedding.  If you have been dieting, make this the time goal date for your targeted weight because this is the last time the tailor can make any major alterations to your gown.
• Third (Final) Fitting - should occur one week before the BIG DAY.  This is the visit for those last minute tweeks and final gown pressing.

...I Found It, You Pin It...Friday!

When thinking of "something blue" for wedding day, brides tend to gravitate towards the wedding shoes, a garter and jewelry.  Or the newest "something blue" trend of nail polish on all the nails or just the ring finger.  But when I stumbled upon this absolutely stunning jeweled clutch, my mouth dropped!!!  Holding this in your hand next to a gorgeous wedding gown = WOW FACTOR at it's finest!!!  It's a STUNNING accessory!
