Inspiration for your road to the altar

Emily and Seth had a beautifully simple summer wedding, with a lighthearted vibe. The bridesmaids wore strapless navy dresses and the groomsmen matched with preppy striped ties. I love the parasol photos, and their cake looks effortless and yet so tasty! {All photos by the talented Salvatori Photography}

A lot of grooms are opposed to wearing big blooms on their suits (mine certainly was) so I love these boutonniere alternatives from The French Mouse. I found them in the midst of a browse through Etsy and thought they were so great, especially the first one pictured above. Check out the shop if you’re on the search for some unique boutonnieres, there are many more for the taking!

I can’t speak to the quality, but a friend sent me these ideas for groomsmen gifts last week and I think they are good ones. Personal but not pricey, you could combine them with a few of their favorite things and make a nice gift package. I think the boys are always so hard to buy for – what are you planning to get your groomsmen?
