    Atlanta brides, there is an amazing event coming up called {Tie the NOT}. I know what you're thinking, "what is this?" Well, it is quite possibly one of the most genius events we had ever heard of in the bridal business.  This event is a new twist on the old school bridal shows. First and foremost, those in attendance will be guests to five "NOT" weddings during the evening. These weddings will be 'mock' weddings that cover a wide range of bridal styles. Think rustic, elegant, chic, modern and more. Guests will get to be a part of the ceremony and reception for each. We can onl...

    Hermes (maker of gorgeous silk scarves and ties, leather goods, and stunning fine china) is launching a custom tie service at its Madison Avenue men's store this fall. The bespoke program is called "My Message," and after you choose a tie from five different silk patterns and an assortment of colors, a ribbon is printed with a personalized note and attached to the back. I think it's the perfect gift for the groomsmen and fathers -- something they can wear on the wedding day and will cherish for years to come! For more information, call 212-308-3585....

    I love guys in a traditional suit, with their black jackets, crisp shirts, and black bow ties. For many weddings this works perfectly with their scheme and overall look, but not all weddings can pull off the traditional. While looking in my wonderful Southern Weddings magazine I can across a fabulous Etsy vendor for some amazingly snazzy and modern ties for your guys! This is site for younger boys ties, however, they can make custom ties for men in the same patterns beginning at $29! Here are some examples from TheBelleandTheBeau etsy shop: These would be adorable as your ring bearer's t...

    Beau Tie. How cute is that? Beau. Not bow, but beau. I just had to force you to enjoy that with me. So…these little cuties are meant to be a brooch…and I’m a huge fan of the idea. BUT…I don’t know. Call me crazy but I’d like to see one of these perched on the lapel of a groom (perhaps wearing a tux, no?). Maybe a smaller version…with a small flower involved. I’m not sure, but I’m just saying I’m into it. Perpetual Three came up with this super cute idea (and the super cute name) and has these beau ties available in her shop here! ...
