I love to hear stuff like that. I love to know that people out there can come to SMP for some visual eye candy, for a little refuge of prettiness during their workday. And this next set of images fits the bill entirely. Jeremy Harwell is the fantastic photographer behind this ridiculously gorgeous fashion shoot and this unbelievably lovely 40’s inspired wedding. So of course, when he sent us his latest masterpiece, I swooned. Plus, anything with pink balloons as the centerpiece is A-OK in my book!

Thank you so much to Jeremy Harwell for sending this our way! Here is a last look at the vendors…

Vintage dresses from Stephans and Clothing Warehouse and shoes from J. Crew. Groom’s attire from Sid Mashburn & Stephans with shoes by Ralph Lauren. Jewelry from Mucklows Fine Jewelry and flowers are Virtu.

The photoshoot was done in Senoia, Georgia at a 130 year old fishing village. It was the place where Driving Miss Daisy and Fried Green Tomatoes were both shot so you know it was heavy on the gorgeousness. The cute, cute bride is wearing a vintage dress from Stephans and Clothing Warehouse and shoes from J. Crew. The adorable groom is wearing attire from Sid Mashburn & Stephans with shoes by Ralph Lauren. The great pearls are from Mucklows Fine Jewelry and the flowers are by Virtu.

An if you have fallen in love with this look…wait until you see the next one that Jeremy shot. It’s even better.

Now the MOST cost effective approach to tuxes is through rentals. Men’s Wearhouse has a good selection, great prices and generally a helpful staff. There are a ton of other well known brands that cater to wedding attire but they all vary regionally in terms of quality. It’s best to get a personal recommendation from a friend or family member. If you can get the name of someone to help you within the store, even better. The problem with rental companies is that sometimes the quality is a bit off and more annoyingly, you have to return them pretty quickly which isn’t always possible when you’re throwing a destination wedding. But in terms of bang for your buck, this is definitely the way to go.

If you are thinking about purchasing a tux for your groom…here are a few favs!

First Row: The first, by Men’s Wearhouse is a total classic. Designed by Calvin Klein this tux is a total classic, bow tie an all. The price is $519.99 Next up, a gorgeous tux that we found for $495 at Nordstrom. Love the easy going style and the quality construction. And lastly, another Men’s Wearhouse find. It’s a single button tux, non-vented, 100% wool. It’s sexy, classic and yet the long tie makes it a bit more contemporary…all for $319.99

Second Row: Our next row is a little bit pricier but still not totally extravagant. All found at Nordstrom, these strike the perfect balance between cost and quality. Ideal for the groom who wants something that will last him a while while maintaining its timeless look and feel.

Third Row: These are all priced between $1,000-$2,000. And here’s what you get for a more expensive suit…quality. A tux that your hubby can wear over and over and over. Fit. Buying a high priced suit usually comes with a lovely tailor on site to make sure that it’s total perfection. Timelessness. These styles simply won’t go in and out of fashion. Tuxes by Brooks Brothers, Neiman Marcus and Brooks Brothers.

OK. So that’s a bare bones look at tuxedos. And I’m an old fashioned girl, so a classic tux is SO up my ally. But for all of you girls that need a little “something-something” to jazz up the look…it’s all in the details. Great cuff links, a fun bow tie, cool shoes, graphic pocket squares.

Bow ties from Brooks Brothers, Shoes from Zappos, Cuff links from Vera Bradley

Although some might think that messing with the classic tux is a big fashion don’t…I’m not in that camp. I’m of the thought that you should make your look work for YOU. It should reflect your own unique personality, your own unique style. And there is nothing wrong with a great pair of converse sneaks underneath a classic tux. It’s the perfect marriage of style and substance.

So there you have it ladies. TONS of great options for dressing your boys. Whatever approach you decide, remember that just like in choosing your wedding gown and bridesmaids dresses, your groomsmen attire should fit cohesively within the look and style of your wedding. Always start with your venue and let the space dictate your fashion picks.

And speaking of fashion…we have an incredible spread for you coming up next!

First up, a classic suit.

The classic suit just might be the most lovely, most stress free way to dress your fiance. You can’t go wrong with something that is as timeless as a black, gray or navy suit. Pair it with some nice shoes and a pretty tie and there is no doubt he’ll look gorgeous.

Row 1: This suit, by Tommy Hilfiger at Macy’s is simple and tailored. Pair it with a gorgeous silver and black striped tie, also found at Macy’s and a pair of loafers from Zappos and you have a really gorgeous style. The total for all three pieces is $375.99 and all you have left is a white shirt and a pair of black socks!

Row 2: There is just something about a man in a gray suit that screams sophistication to me. This one, by Kenneth Cole that we found on Overstock (which actually has an awesome collection of namebrand suits at ridiculously low prices) is all gorgeousness. We paired it with a classic tie by Macy’s and shoes by Steve Madden that we found on Zappos. The total look is $309.93.

Row 3: Navy equals handsome in my opinion. My husband wears a navy suit more than his black one because there is just something so yummy about the look. Particularly for a wedding. This one, by Calvin Klein at Macy’s, is perfection and paired with a tie we found at Macy’s and shoes that we discovered at Payless (yup, payless people) is the definition of hotness. The total for all three pieces is $417.19. A little pricier than the first two options but a steal nonetheless.

* * *

Next up, some options for the more the casual groom. There is something really great about a casual groom…the confidence, the effortlessness, the personality tucked into the details. Here are some super budget finds for the more laid back groom.

Row 1: The first look is PERFECT for the beach, the lake, anywhere that laidback chic is a must. A basic pair of khaki pants from Old Navy, a white button down from the Gap and leather flip flops by American Eagle…all super simple, all super hot. You can dress this look up a touch by having the boys tuck in their shirts and put on a great belt. Total cost for this look is $108.50

Row 2: This camel suit from J. Crew is total perfection. It’s casual while still being really special, really fashion forward. Pair it with some Steve Madden Mocs from Macy’s and a simple, old school tie and you have a look that is a little bit vintage, a little bit school teacher. Totally and completely handsome. Total is $356.50

Row 3: Here’s a tip for you ladies. If you are looking for a suit that is off the beaten path…searsucker, madras, linen…check out Haspel. They have been making suits for decades and they have it down to a science. They aren’t the most luxurious suits you’ve ever seen, but they have fun fabrics and really fun prices. This one, a white linen suit is perfect for a day wedding, a garden affair, a beachside celebration. With shoes by Kenneth Cole and a subtle, striped shirt by J. Crew, the look is totally delicious. You can even pair it with some flip flops for a casual affair. The entire looks costs 258.49.

Coming up next, we have our Classic Tuxedo Picks!

Sometimes those boys can use an extra hand when trying to pick out looks for the wedding weekend. That’s where we come in. Today, we have put together some looks to make sure those men don’t fall victim to a fashion faux pas on your special weekend. This next collection is all about some day-after the wedding fashion, perfect for an elegant brunch or a casual gathering.

Credits: Zappos, Village Hat Shop, Bonobos, Banana Republic, Nordstrom, Nordstrom, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, World of Watches

Row I: It’s a daring look for some, but most guys look great in a well-fitted vest like this one by Theory. A more relaxed occasion calls for a more relaxed watch. This timepiece by Triumph has a beautifully chic crocodile band and equally striking slate toned face. What better way to show up in style to a fancy brunch than wearing an eye-catching tie? Burberry’s are my choice for those waiting to make a statement.

Row II: Go beyond a basic button down, and go for something a little edgy. I like this shirt by Robert Graham, which sneaks in exciting patterns along the cuffs. Bill Adler makes very cool belts for those with a bit more of an eclectic style. Pair this belt with jeans and a crisp slate gray shirt to achieve style perfection. In a great pattern and a great shade of brown, it’s no wonder this pant by Banana Republic is a customer favorite. Wear them with a bold shirt, or a classic polo and your groom will be brunch ready.

Row III: I am loving the mod look of these pants I found at Bonobos. The subtle plaid pattern is perfect for a casual or elegant brunch. Complete the revived vintage look with a classic straw fedora, like this one from the Village Hat Shop. If you go in this fashion direction, just remember to kindly remove your hat once socializing with your guests. An ingenious shirt goes a long way in the fashion world and in my mind, this one by Scotch and Soda takes the cake by blending a classic shirt with updated elements, like these super cool elbow patches.

Coming up next…some budget fashions for your boys!

On today’s Round Up we are sharing some tips and some cool fashion finds for that special guy in your life to keep him handsome all weekend long. Next up are some key items to keeping your man looking perfectly tailored on the day of the wedding. From ultra-traditional to laid-back chic, we’ve got your guy covered from head to toe.

Credits: Ben Silver, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Barneys New York, J. Crew, Shirts My Way, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Jos. A. Bank

Row I: I know, a tux is a no brainier as an option for wedding day attire, but instead of renting one, have your groom-to-be consider investing in one of his own. Jos. A. Bank has great suit and tux specials and will make sure his choice is perfectly tailored and impossibly handsome on the big day. Regardless of if you man rents his tux or purchases one of his own, a pair of really nice cuff links is a great fashion accessory. This pair by John Hardy is for sure a splurge, but totally worth investing in for the ultimate in special occasions. Another great accessory is a well-crafted tie. For a sophisticated alternative to the traditional bow-tie, this silk tie by David Donahue is a good-looking option.

Row II: Let’s face it, it’s much harder for a man to find clothes that are a perfect fit. Shirts My Way has this problem solved by allowing the customer to design and custom order their special shirt—ensuring a perfectly tailored fit right out of the box. Guys that are looking for a updated traditional look, should definitely go the suit route. I love this suit by J. Crew, that has a classic silhouette, but a bit more refined for the modern man. Ok, this watch by TX is beyond hip, but for those not wanting to splurge on the pricey timepiece, use this for inspiration. A classic chronograph watch in sleek stainless steel will not only make your hubby-to-be feel like James Bond, but look like him too.

Row III: Adding a unique pocket square to a classic suit or blazer is a great way to turn up the fashion volume. I love this playful print and fresh hue in this pocket square by Paul Smith. A light colored, relaxed fit pant is a great option for beach side weddings. A pair of chinos has a flat front, like these from Canterbury of New Zealand, which is a flattering option. Up the ante on the casual groom’s look with a bold bow tie! Ben Silver has several unique and traditional bow ties by the dozens in a variety of hues.

More on the way!

Today’s Round Up is geared to finding just the right gift to show appreciation to the ladies that will be standing by your side on your big day. Now, depending on the size of your bridal party, this may or may not be a difficult challenge. Nonetheless, being a recent bride myself, I know it always helps to have a few ideas for gifts in your back pocket. For the bride that wants to add a little fashion flair to their wedding party, the next collection of items are all about fun, stylish gifts that your maids can wear on the big day and everyday after.

Row One: J. Crew’s skinny corsage headband is an adorable addition to any bridesmaids dress, but is also a great item to wear with jeans and a tee. Every bridesmaid needs a cute pair of flip-flops to wear on the dance floor or to bum around town-I love the metallic slims shown here. Your maids will make a statement day-of and year-round with Anthropologie’s corsage that can be worn as a brooch or in your hair. How cute would this be pinned to a satin ribbon?!

Row Two: This bracelet looks fabulous on it’s own or nestled between several others. Your maids will get a lot of mileage out of this golden treasure. Cute clutches for bridesmaids are getting easier to come by thanks to this Etsy designer. In a variety of patterns, you can match each clutch to your friend’s personality. Vintage brooches are such a fabulous gift for any occasion, but pretty ones like this Etsy find can double as the statement piece on a bridesmaids dress.

Row Three: I am totally smitten with this shoe clip by b. poetic. Not only does this shoe clip take an ordinary shoe to extraordinary, but it’s a great accessory that can be worn over and over. Echo’s burnout wrap offers a welcomed spin on the often gifted pashmina. Sold in a variety of colors, this wrap will be a staple in any wardrobe. Summerblossom’s hair pins are not only adorable for adding a little pizzazz to your attendants hair do, but are a great gift that your ladies will be happy to accept.

More fun bridesmaid gifts coming up!

It’s time for our weekly round-up that our fabulous editor, Carrie, put together especially for SMP readers. This week, we are tackling bridesmaids gifts…gits that are as thoughtful as they are chic, as wearable as they are completely and totally special.

* * *

During our Bridesmaids Jewelry Round Up, one of our savvy readers was looking for a bridesmaid’s gift that was a little more personal than the often-anticipated earrings or necklace. I loved this question, particularly because it speaks so appropriately to the role we ask these ladies to play. Naturally, determined to find some good gift inspiration, I began to scour the web for all things, personal, practical and bit playful in the world of bridal party gifts. This first set is all about a modern take on the classic monogram, which is a brilliant choice if you want your memento to be perfectly customized to each of your maids.

Row One: A touch of gold and delicate silver, gives Anne Kiel’s gilded necklace just the right amount of modern sophistication. It is no secret that the silhouette has made a huge comeback, and the pendent by Le Papier Studio is a clever way to capture your maids personal style. The monogrammed envelope necklace, found on Etsy, makes it easy to tell your ladies how much they mean to you-not to mention the tiny letter inside the envelope is absolutely adorable.

Row Two: By far the sweetest little mirror I have ever seen, Anthropologie’s pocket mirror is a lovely memento to any bridesmaids gift. This delicate coffee mug will remind your ladies of your special day, everyday, and can double as a place-setting for the bridesmaids luncheon. Fill it with coffee beans and tuck a starbucks giftcard inside for even more charm. West Elm’s keepsake boxes are ideal for displaying a classic monogram and a great item to store jewels from the wedding day.

Row Three: I love monogrammed vintage hankies and it just so happens they are the best thing to have in hand while the bride and groom say their “I do’s.” I am so excited to have found this Etsy shop full of colorful renditions customized on vintage china. This gift is truly one-of-a-kind. Everyone can use a nice set of personalized stationary. Hello! Lucky has several delightful themes in a spectrum of bold colors.

So much more coming up in just a bit!

There are some tried and true companies that carry unbelievably gorgeous, traditional flower girl dresses, but instead of going straight to the source, I thought it best to do a little digging to bring to you guys a collection of eclectic looks for the bride that wants a bit more of an avant-garde flair. The next set has a little bit of everything, some indie designers with European panache, a few eco-chic, and a sneak peak of Crewcuts newest additions for the little ladies.

Row One: The fabric in this frock by Neige is beyond gorgeous and is perfect paired with a cozy cardigan. And oh my goodness, the little gems adorning the Tartine et Chocolat dress is so ideal for adding a little glam without being over-the-top. How wonderful is the pleating in Neige’s peacock hued dress? This flower girl dress would be perfect if your maids are also wearing jeweled tones.

Row Two: Ok, this is my all time favorite dress here today. Dagmar Daley toole with linen in the most perfect way-I can’t think of a better way to add a touch of whimsy to your bridal party. Eco-chic designer Whitten Grey created one precious dress that could easily be worn at a casual day-time affair. Il Gufo’s perfectly tailored silhouette and intricate details conjures up images of little clouds. Each one is completely heavenly and absolutely wearable beyond the big day.

Row Three: J. Crew ‘s drop waist flower girl dress is too perfect for a rustic wedding, but if your look is more romantic than rustic, J. Crew has the solution in crushed silk. Ses Petits Mains is oh, so Parisian and just the thing for an understated but charming look. J’aime!

Today we have some style-for-thought for your cherished little flower girls. We have been on the search for the perfect dress to match the look of your perfectly styled wedding party. This next round-up features a mix of our usual stops for swoon worthy frocks and few couture little pieces all perfect for complimenting the modern-chic bridal party.

Row One: I was so excited to come across this cute little frock from Lilly Pulitzer -perfectly feminine and just adorable as a flower girl dress. I couldn’t resist the layers of frills in J. Crew’s little frock – so cute! For a more tailored look with a lot of charm, Chloe brings on the couture in subtle tones ideal for little flower girls.

Row Two: Mariella Ferrari’s two toned dress is a beautiful choice if you are craving a little tradition for your girl. For the more grown up flower girl, Un Deux Trois has the ideal shift that will for sure be worn again well after her debut. And the Florence Eiseman dress is all about the to-die-for fabric and subtle detailing around the bodice-perfectly timeless.

Row Three: This dress by Us Angels could also work for your Jr. Bridesmaids. The look is fresh and modern without being too trendy. I am so in love with the mod look of Us Angels gold brocade dress. What a great addition to a vintage styled bridal party. Last, but certainly not least is my personal fav of Priscilla Of Boston’s flower girl dresses. I am loving the drop waist that is showing up in several flower girl styles these days and Priscilla’s design is a perfect rendition.

More in just a bit!

A few weeks back, our Bridesmaid Dress Round-Up featured several gorgeous gowns for your favorite maids. During that feature we had some great feedback from you guys for future Round-Ups on SMP. Well, today we are answering one of those requests, which we are sure many of you have struggled with at least once or twice. We are conquering the ever-so-tough flower girl dress. Since this little item of clothing can vary vastly for your tiniest member of your bridal party and can be a pricey purchase, I decided to scour the web for classic, contemporary, and eclectic looks that are at a variety of price points to help provide a bit of inspiration.

So let’s get started with our first round of classically styled flower girl frocks…

Row One: Jenny Yoo’s Annabella Dress might just be the perfect marriage of traditional and modern design resulting in one precious flower girl dress. Not only is the hue of Annie Girl’s Clarissa Dress perfect, but the silhouette is simply divine. Dessy’s basic flower girl dress is the perfect blank canvas to adorn with broaches, flowers, or a monogrammed sash. All classic, all adorable.

Row Two: The very classic, very simple Sweet Kids dress is anything but standard with its layers of texture enhancing the timeless shape. Shelley George’s Peanut Butter Dress is a perfect choice for a demure look. Annie Girl brings the concept of dress up to life with her ingenious little site. Here, brides can pick and choose the perfect sash and flower resulting in your ideal flower girl dress.

Row Three: Watters adds a touch of sweetness to the classic flower girl silhouette-perfect for any upscale daytime affair. Not just for the bridesmaids, Simple Silhouettes has adorable dresses for the younger gals too in vibrant colors and designs-I just love this one. The Briar Patch has a precious tutu inspired gown for more whimsical weddings. So many cute classic styles, how can one ever choose?

We’ve got plenty more adorable dresses to come…so stay tuned!

Check out Heather Berry’s simple pearl drop necklace  ($20), Banana Republic’s Crystal Ball necklace ($49.50), and Hilary Koster’s lace inspired silver necklace ($45).

Row Two: A layered necklace is always striking, especially if you want your bridesmaids to turn up the glam factor.

For a more subdued look, check out Elaine Haydon’s ($42) cluster of pearls. Looking for something a bit more demure, Anthropologie’s Mercury Rising Necklace ($38).
