For the Groom!Although wedding plans are traditionally managed by the bride, grooms are getting more involved with wedding planning than ever before, at least when it comes to photography and video. I often have the bride and groom come in for appointments together when making their selection for a photo album or a video. This interest on the part of groom’s nationwide should be welcomed and in some cases rewarded! Groom gifts will vary, but coming off a fresh AFC Championship for the Steelers, I know there are many grooms who would love a sports themed photograph of themselves with their favorite team...

For the Groom!We always get a kick out of the unique groom's cakes we see from our talented Texas cake bakers! While the wedding cake reflects the beauty of the bride and the entire day, the groom's cake is usually a fun reflection of the groom. We've seen so many amazing cakes that tailor to fit the groom's personality and personal interests. For example, if your groom is an avid golfer he might like this custom red golf cart from Treat Me Sweet! Or if he loves to play guitar perhaps he would like a replica of his own personal guitar like this one from Creme de la Creme? The sky is the limit with these in...

For the GroomThe groom often has a limited role in the final creative direction of the wedding - if any role at all. Whether due to work schedules, living in a different city during the planning process, or from lack of interest in peonies and fabric swatches, he may only show enthusiasm in the music or what specialty cocktails are being served. One place your future husband can make his mark and not muck-up your design is the “After Lounge”. I enjoy designing all aspects of a wedding, but I must admit it is refreshing and fun to create a lounge setting. Here you can dispense with conventional w...

For the GroomI recently worked with a couple where the bride wanted to surprise the groom with a nod to her future husband’s British heritage. We came up with a simple concept to add spice to the after-party. The ingredients were: 1000 red, navy and clear votive candles and a mirrored plexi-glass cover for the table-top. With a lot of patience and very steady hands, Colin & Mari replicated the Union Jack. Colorful in the daylight. A showstopper for the after-lounge! ...

Grooming for the groomFiled under: Grooms, Bridal BeautyMany brides go through intense and sometimes painful beauty routines to get ready for their weddings. Some of these rituals are relaxing, like getting a massage, or a pedicure (unless you have serious callouses and they bring out the big tools -- when it sounds like a dentist's drill, it's not so relaxing. Not that I know ...). But some of the things women go through are less than comforting, such as waxing (eyebrows, lips, bikini line), spray tanning (scary, scary, space-age booth telling you what to do), and spending two hours in the hairstylist's chair hold...
