Chain Garters

I have to be honest. I hate garters. I think they're kind of tacky and ugly, and the whole "deflowering" idea it represents kind of creeps me out. I mean, obviously your family and friends know that you're gonna have sex on your wedding night, but you don't need to flaunt it in front of everyone, right?

These chain garters, however, are so bad ass that you should wear one just for fun and a little surprise for the two of you later on.

You can get em from the crafty sisters at Litter SF.

Homegirl just came out with some bomb ass dresses.

You can buy them here.

The Waistcoat vs the Vest

A lil street etiquette for ya. This is how you wear a waistcoat and vest. Folks nowadays are always wearing their clothes too big and baggy. A vest can be worn a little looser (see left), but a waistcoat must fit around your torso (see right). It looks great with a tie and really makes a great layering piece.

Do you prefer a waistcoat or a vest?

Paintbrush Tattoos

I am really jealous of New Yorkers right now. Amanda Wachob, an artist at Daredevil Tattoo uses a completely different technique of Tattooing that makes her work look like true painted works of art. I love the solid, bold colors she uses.

Hot, Unstuffy Groomsmen Styling

Damn, I love a good n' messy/casual/dressy style. If your man has stylish friends that are incredibly good looking, maybe ya'll could pull some styling like this off. I'm digging the second one to the right. Imagine him buttoned up, with a little corsage. So hot.

On the other hand, they kinda look like an older Jonas Brothers boy band so PROCEED WITH CAUTION!

Sequined Bridesmaids

I have to admit, I'm a huge fan of bling. Now, I'm not talkin about the rhinestone, David Tutera, "I want white diamonds everywhere" nonsense. I'm talkin about sequins. They are so much more fun, and they don't take themselves too seriously. That is why I love them at weddings.

These bridesmaids look like they are ready to party.

Here's some pretty inexpensive ones ova herr:

Urban Outfitters $68

Wet Seal $6.95

Why not let the bride get in on the action?

On Sale at Topshop for $30

Pretty pretty

Something Electric Blue

I was seriously out of my chair, when K at Blog Goggles showed me Natalie Hormilla's (ex-editor of Fashionista.com) electric-blue wedding dress. It was made by Karolina Zmarlak, and inspired by Lanvin, Spring 08.

This dress is fire!

Mr. Hare

Damn, these shoes are fine. Mr. Hare's got a passion for strictly men's footwear (darnit). All the grooms out there should pick up some of these badboys. Or these, of course.

1940s Style done right

I have seen a lot of vintage wedding styles lately, and a lot of them, seem a little too much. But, I absolutely loved this bride's style. Her bridesmaids look perfection- sweet and sassy. This how you do it folks!

See more of this stylish wedding here.

RED DOLL

Good Laud, what cute lil dresses. They are all made by Tatyana Merenyuk who is incredibly talented. Get em while they're hot.

And I thought Louboutin's were only for girls...

Shame on me.

(I have been informed that Christian Louboutin has only made women's footwear. But these would make a dashing pair of men's shoes, don't you think? According to What He Wears, Louboutin will have a line for men this Fall.)

DIY: Flower girl

I love everything about this picture. Wouldn't this dress make a beautiful wedding dress? You could probably make something similar on your own by taking a plain strapless dress and attaching some fabric flowers like these with a needle and thread.
