TODs Tip: Ties That Rock

Have an alterna-groom? Your guy may want to shine too on your big day, so let him do so with a very cool tie from Cyberoptix TieLab and grab one of their silkscreened ties in your colors. They have bow ties, kids ties, and even wedding packages. And as their slogan says, these ties don’t suck.

TODs Tip Of the Day: Standout Ties

Why do groom’s always have such boring ties? Maybe because no one really thinks about it. But there’s no reason not to wrap your groom in a cool necktie that lets his personality shine and brings in the theme/color scheme of your wedding. For spring weddings I love a diagonally striped pastel tie with at least 2 colors. For a fall wedding reflect those jewel tones with a peacock tie or something equally fun and vibrant!

TOD Says: Think outside the box with funky ties!

Fashion Fever — Glamming Up Your Groom

Fashion Fever by Elysha Beckerman

Ciao brides to be! In this Fashion Fever post we’re heating things up and glamming out your groom’s style to look as hot as yours!  We know this is the day you’ve been dreaming about since you were 5 and your imagination has always had a guy in a great tux next to you.  This means his accessories should be nothing short of timeless.

Entirely Ties When choosing groom’s wear incorporate the theme of your wedding without making it too matchy-matchy.  For example if your wedding theme is Eggplant and Marigold (Check out Jennifer Crone’s How To – Eggplant & Marigold Blog) incorporate shades of Eggplant with your tie choices for the groomsmen but have your groom wear a white or ivory tie accented by a Eggplant Calla Lillie boutonniere.  Check out Nordstrom’s tie selection, or if your fiancé is looking to splurge on some groomsmen gifts try Dolce & Gabbana tie’s at the Forzieri Shoppe.

Cufflinks worth Coveting Cufflinks can give any tuxedo an immediate personality. Cufflinks can be very decorative, traditional, and even humorous.  PR Girls recommend that the cufflink be photo worthy on your wedding day.  We’re hot for Tiffany & Co. cufflinks!  They might be slightly costly, but they’re classic and unforgettable.  If Tiffany isn’t your style try Etsy for more of a unique or funnky look.

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes Choosing the perfect pair of shoes is a big part of the wedding process.  They need to be comfortable, dance worthy, and stylish.  Here’s and idea: give your hubby a gift on your wedding day – great shoes to complete his trendy look.  Salvatore Ferragamo’s shoe options have something for any groom! If looking to save check out Calvin Klein;  they have great looking shoes for great prices!

Remember you want to enhance your groom’s look not change it!  You’re marrying him and his style so just improve his boyish taste!
