Grooms getting ready are just as gorgeous as brides

We see a LOT of wedding photos of brides getting ready on their wedding days. The “hanging dress” shot. The “doing make-up” shot. You know what we see way less of? Gorgeous grooms (like Andy here) getting ready. The turquoise details, the impeccably parted hair, the inked arms, the lighting coming in through the window… this is just one of those photos that becomes an instant family heirloom. Personally, I’d love to see more wedding photography celebrating everyone’s pre-wedding preparations…

I’m craving this skull cravat pin

This skull cravat pin totally transforms a black on black on black shirt/tie/vest combo into something more personal, more edgy, and somehow at once more fancy. You can snag a set of three similar skulls here and outfit anyone with a tie!

Imagine the above outfit with a jacket overtop, the harness just peeking through. …Turned on yet?

Your groom should feel like a fancy princess too!

While shopping for his outfit, my future husband goes straight for the shoes that cost twice as much as my dress did. Like an evil-but-sensible Bridezilla, I say no to the beautiful shoes. Then my bridesmaid pointed out that if it was the bride saying “I want to spend X amount on shoes because they’re perfect and wonderful, and they’ll make me feel just like a princess.” Then everyone, including the groom, would be telling the bride to JUST BUY THEM!
