FOR THE GUYS
Understated is the look of choice for dapper gentlemen. For a classic look, stick with neutral colors or tone-on-tone designs.
Style Tip:
Monogramming is a classy way to add embroidery that guys love.
Want to make a subtle statement? Pick a light-stitching design in a theme that says something about the groom and his interests, like gears or games. Stitch it tone-on-tone on a tie for a classy embossed look that won’t distract on the day.

‘Til death do us partGothic and offbeat weddings can have a lot of drama and glamour. Just because it’s not traditional doesn’t mean it can’t be just as classy and beautiful. Take the classic ideas and turn them on their head. A tone-on-tone pillow in black instead of purple. A gothic choker in dark tones instead of white. Wall hangings and accents with a darker flair. Your day, your way, no matter what your style.
