If You Must Wear A Watch

If you’re anything like me, you’re a stickler for time and always want to know what time it is; your wedding day won’t be any different.  Even though your wedding planner is keeping track of time and keeping everything on schedule.  Many of us are aware of Badgley Mischka fashion and see a lot of brides wearing their fabulous shoes on wedding day.  Did you know that they have watches too?

Men can get away with wearing a watch, anytime, anyplace, and for any event.  If you’re a bride and really need to wear a watch, I found some great options that will compliment just about any wedding dress and not appear so obvious.

Handkerchiefs~The Family Heirloom

Sometimes having a piece of the past helps us step into the future.  Often times that piece of the past is a handkerchief that’s been passed down by our loved ones.  We may choose to incorporate into our bouquet or attach it to the wedding dress, if you’re the bride or hold it in the breast pocket of the tuxedo, if you’re the groom.

It can hold some sense of comfort and security and bring a certain level of calmness when it’s our turn to walk down the aisle.  When a loved one has passed on or if mom carried it on her wedding day, to be able to carry on the tradition and add sentiment to your wedding day is an honor.  Besides, we are always looking to incorporate that “something old.”

I spent a lot of time with my grandmother as a child, teenager, and young adult; we were so close.  She was like a second mother to me.  She always carried a lace trimmed handkerchief with her at church on Sundays, to wipe away her tears.  Although, I’ve never been married, I’d like to carry one of her handkerchiefs with me on my wedding day and hopefully pass it down to my daughter as well.  Sometimes the presence of someone is all we need to move forward.

No one says that you have to wear white shoes on your wedding day.  Add some of your love of Rock & Roll and your flare with these shoes.

Maybe you also want a dress that's not so traditional and fits the theme.

A cake to top off the evening.

A Groom and His Sneakers

There is something about a man and his sneakers that he just have a hard time parting with; and his wedding day is no exception.  Of course we know that the wedding day is mostly about the bride but when the groom can influence any part of the decision making, his wedding day footwear is usually at the top of the list.

It's no secret that I love to see individual style and personality incorporated into every wedding or event that I do, and I do believe that the groom should have some say-so when it comes to choosing some of the details of his wedding day.  With a variety of options to choose from, sneakers are a fun way to incorporate his love of sneakers and a little of his style into his wedding day too.

From high tops, low tops, checkered patterned Vans, or old school Adidas; the options are endless but the most important thing is to be you.
