Tan Suits For Your Man

As a bride, you will obviously think your new hubby and his groomsmen look amazing in anything they wear – but personally, I love tan suits for weddings! There aren’t a whole lot of things more attractive on a man than a well-tailored suit, but I think going with a less traditional color really makes a huge impact and will make your man look extra amazing on your big day. Tan suits are especially fabulous for beach and southern themed weddings. Paired with colors like light blue, light pink or coral make these suits absolutely perfect! Not to mention – how adorable is a little ring bearer in a tan ensemble?

Dylan Lauren Marries in Style

Dylan Lauren, the only daughter of designer and mogul Ralph Lauren, married hedge fund founder Paul Arrouet on June 11 in Bedford, NY. Dylan got every girl’s dream dress- a custom gown designed by her father. The dress was one-of-a-kind; ethereally beautiful with a nine-foot tiered train.

Dylan and Paul’s wedding was featured in the August 2011 issue of Vogue. According to Andre Leon Talley’s profile, Dylan wore a “handmade duchesse satin, silk tulle, georgette embroidered dress with a tiered train” Talley also included details of the wedding, such as high profile guests and the bridesmaids dresses-they wore Candy Bar logo colors with optional custom-made spanx. Dylan also had engraved chocolate place settings, centerpieces of hydrangeas, roses and lilies, and a Sylvia Weinstock cake featuring a rabbit motif. Pictures are sparce, so here are ways to recreate the wedding look! Look for a mermaid style dress with an intricate bottom. Dylan had a nine-foot train, but that might be a little too long for some brides. Detail at the train will make up for a lack of length. One-shouldered gowns are popular, but look for an off-the-shoulder detail. This turquoise dress comes from Nordstrom. The DIY Candy Bar Escort Cards come from Pearl Events.
