Spats and gaiters for shmancy shoe coverage
Did you know that “spats” was originally a shortened version of “spatterdashes?” That is a neat word and a fun fashion detail that we sometimes see in our steampunk, Victorian, and fancier weddings. Check out some of our favorites.
An orchid tux, peeks of yellow, and lots of ink
Christina and Alex had an orchid-theme wedding with lots of orchids in the bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, and the cake. The groom even wore a custom-made tux with appliqued orchids all over it. Christina wore a ’50s-style cocktail dress and yellow heels that totally offset her amazing ink. Plus, her grandma was her maid of honor! D’aww.
Match your glasses to your gown
Tribesmaid Staciafuchsia rocks her purple-over-white gown and giant bouquet, but my favorite part is her matchy-matchy glasses! If you’ll be wearing your specs to the wedding, consider grabbing a special pair to really pull your outfit together.
