Fashion Monday: Boutonniere or Pocket Square?

Wedding Sugar

Many grooms and their brides wonder what proper decorum calls for when it comes to the gentlemen’s attire. Suit or tux? Match the bridesmaids or complement the bridesmaids? Most often though, we get questions about the boutonniere and the pocket square. Aside from the tie (and vest if you are incorporating one), the boutonniere is a great way to add personality, color and texture to the groomsmen’s outfit.

We checked with Glen Antoine Palmer of The Gentlemen’s Standard to help us out with this one when we asked if a man could wear both a boutonniere and pocket square. He feels there is absolutely no reason to have to choose between the two. “Of course! A stylish gentleman will always be equipped with a trusty & handsome pocket square. The wedding boutonniere is just an added flourish to the wedding ensemble.”

Glen also adds, “The wedding boutonniere is just an added flourish to the wedding ensemble. Since your boutonniere will surely complement your wedding colors, the gentleman must ensure that his pocket square is relatively tastefully understated.” Traditionally, the groom’s boutonniere should be composed of a single bloom plucked directly from the bridal bouquet. While that is an endearing sentiment, today, the boutonniere is a great form of expression of the wedding or groom’s personality. You’ve probably picked up on this with the influx of non-floral boutonnieres as well featuring pinwheels, buttons or fabric. This has to be one of the cutest and creative boutonniere sets I’ve seen (only because I am a mom to a little superhero)! I’m sure each guy picked his favorite:

How do you avoid overdoing it? Glen has a solution for that, too: “You don’t want too much competition going on to the point where it distracts the eye. Clean and subtle. Now is not the occasion to break out the wildly patterned pocket square. Instead, look for a pocket square that is neutral to its surroundings, yet adds a bit of discrete flavor into the mix.” Glen is very true to his word– he did both at his own wedding:

Still loving the classic glamour that has been raging this season, I came across Veluz. Veluz Reyes’ custom designs are nothing short of glorious. The intricate details that adorn her gowns– from bodices to trains, are absolutely divine. They are a true homage to the classic, timeless, yet glamorous bride.

Fashion Monday: Vintage Jewelry for Your Wedding

Wedding Sugar

Classic weddings are making a huge comeback this year. Last year, we saw the natural, rustic and whimsical trends dominate décor and accessories alike. With more classic and glamorous options becoming available, both décor and accessories are becoming more intricate, ornate and beautiful. These vintage pieces from Paula Montgomery are stunning– adding a bit of timeless nostalgia that will make for honored heirlooms for years to come.

Inspired by the bride’s grandmother’s bureau with her vintage silver comb and brush and the lace runner that decorated it, the peach and cream color-toned table is set with depression glass and lace-wrapped vases filled with peonies, ranunculas, spray roses, snapdragons, and hydrangeas. The bride stands out in her ultra-feminine gown with cap sleeves, lace-bodice, and full veil dazzling with vintage glamour. But the piece that stands out the most is her grandmother’s locket restrung into a statement piece that oozes with beauty and nostalgia. Paula Montgomery’s thought is that as every bride is one of a kind, so should be her best accessory.

Fashion Monday: Anne Barge Fall/Winter 2012

Wedding Sugar

I am truly adoring the fall and winter line from Anne Barge! It is truly a throwback to the Great Gatsby-esque glam of yesteryear. While vintage weddings are still hanging on, glamour is also still making a huge impact, so this is a great mélange of the two styles. Anne says that this season, “We were all about lace. Totally romantic, ethereal, and very classic Anne Barge this season. My inspiration for this collection comes from a historical take on texture.”

And there is definitely plenty here! The rich complexities of the garments, bias cuts, sweetheart necklines, layers and lots of details!
