Navy suit, gingham shirt, slim tie, and vans: advice for grooms on how to find their style

Ok, so I guess today we’re just all about fashion. That’s ok, right? Especially when it involves the amazing fashion of groom Anthony Barlich, one of the founders of Chicago’s Hitch & Sparrow. Anthony rocked a navy suit, silver tie, and gingham shirt, with striped socks and grey Vans. (Topped off by Warby Parker glasses.) Darren from Well Groomed recently did a twopart post series interviewing Anthony about his fashion and guidance for grooms looking to find their own vision in a sea of anonymous suits.

Glam wedding-friendly styles for undercut hair

The undercut (or half-hawk, made popular by stars like Skrillex, among others) is a style that can be casual and punk, or in this case, glammed up and wedding-friendly. Earlier this week we featured a wedding with just such a style with short, platinum curls that totally fulfilled all our blinged-out, fairy princess wedding dreams all while being totally chic and edgy. You too can have this combination! Feast your eyes on the inspiration.

A painting-worthy two-tone wedding gown from Wedding Dress Fantasy

When Tova, the designer behind [vendor-heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/wedding-dress-fantasy"]Wedding Dress Fantasy[/vendor-heart], uploaded this photo to her Real Brides album on Facebook, she commented that this photo was “soooo romantic, it almost looks like a painting.” And I have to agree. This photo is the perfect compliment to the that picture perfect two-tone wedding dress in gold and green.

Lilac dream dress + bridesmaids in suits

I’m shoving Megan out of the way for a moment here — she’s been ogling dresses by Tova at [vendor-heart link="http://vendors.offbeatwed.com/listing/wedding-dress-fantasy"]Wedding Dress Fantasy[/vendor-heart] for the past few weeks, and it’s time for me to get my turn here. Ok first: how much how Jes Wolfe’s lilac dress coordinates with her husband’s dark purple velvet jacket? I’m dying.

But wait there’s so much more — wait until you see what the bride had hiding under her skirt, and the suits her bridesmaids wore!
