The Ivy League Look

Ivy League style and Preppy chic are hitting the wedding scene in a big way! Think Fair Isle sweaters, Vineyard Vines ties, Tommy Hilfiger blazers or Ralph Lauren and channel your inner Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl. Incorporate The "Ivy League Look" in details like plaids,stripes and geometrics in bold bright colours of Navy with Green, Yellow or Fuchsia. A Hamptons or even Cape Cod nautical feel would be a perfect remix of retro, preppy sensibility.

The Men's Den

With many aspects of a wedding heavily favoured around the bride, todays blog is all about the groom and his groomsmen.

Cigar Bars are an absolute favourite of ours, they add a unique, classy old fashioned flair to a wedding reception and are a little something for the lads!

Bring in a cigar roller to work throughout the reception making cigars for your guests or bring in a few cigar humidors displaying a variety of different cigars, almost like you would a lolly buffet.

Add some old books and a bowl of custom made matchbooks and cigars with your names and wedding date on them along with a bottle or two of brandy or scotch with some old fashion glasses and flasks.

If you want to go all out why not create a men's lounge or even have an attendant there to assist guests in selecting and preparing the cigars.
