Reader Question: Navy UniformsAll this week, A and I will be answering some of the emails we have received from our readers. First up is Loren, who asks: I would love any suggestions or guidance. My fiance is an officer in the Navy and would like to wear his choker whites (white uniform, top to bottom) to the wedding. He has 7 groomsmen, 4 of whom are also in the Navy. My fiance would like to have those in the Navy also wear their choker whites but we can’t decide what to put the other 3 in. We are having a garden wedding in late summer 2009 with a casual feel. Any suggestions? Ultra light khaki suits? Dark navy suits?...

Navy is the new Black(Amsale) Color this year…when i ask the brides coming in “what color they are thinking of for their bridesmaid dresses” I’m noticing that a large percentage are saying NAVY! Even though their color for their weddings may be pink or lavender or sunset tones…I love it! Navy looks softer than black. Even the groomsmen are wearing navy suits or tuxedos…so gorgeous! (Sometimes I laugh because I think of Steve Martin in Father of the Bride with his Navy ”Copied” Giorgio Armani Tuxedo) But it is very chic and looks great in the Pictures…Picture any color flower bouquet again...

Inspiration: Navy, Green, and WhiteNow that we're really into the summer months, a nautical wedding seems fitting. I’ve always loved this classic theme for its versatility -- it can be dressed up or down -- but for this post, I’ve gone the classic route with a traditional nautical look for the men and simple sophistication for the ladies. Rich navy pairs perfectly with a fresh green and white bouquet of stunning blooms, and I always find simple details irresistible, like escort cards tucked into a flat of grass, or cufflinks that go with the theme of the wedding. Are you having a themed summer wedding? If so, what are you u...

{Nautical Nuptials}: A Palette of Navy Blue, Yellow & Gold
{Navy Blue, Yellow & Gold}A nautical theme rich in unique symbolism, a lovely color palette and an amazing ceremony location is not all that this palette has....It's also got that preppy New England thing going on in it as well. And what's not to love about that right? In my design for Jeanni, I wanted to bring to life all that she was dreaming of, and then some. To pull this off, I combined the beauty of a waterfront ceremony, and the elegance of a nautical theme. And the result? A lovely wedding full of thoughtful details and charming touches. {continued...}{Click to Enlarge}Jeanni t...

French NavyI recieved a delightful little navy box in the mail a few weeks ago with the sweetest stationery inside. French Navy is a brand new Australian stationery range with clean designs and nod to the etiquette of yesteryear. The passion for the range comes from Miss French Navy’s background in advertising. Longing to find elegant stationery to reconnect with others through words, Miss French Navy created French Navy. With two distinct sides to the story- etiquette (etiquette tips are dotted throughout the French Navy website and blog) and stationery. Miss French Navy has brought them together in...
