Pink, Red & Black in the Country - Option 3 - by Providence Classic

Suit for $398.00; 9tailors shirts in Black Windowpane and Snow for $60.00; Express Silk Tie for $39.90; A. Testoni Shoes for $499.00; Lanvin Leather Sneakers for $675.00; FOX Racing Belt for $17.99; Michael Kors Watch for $225.00

Amanda and her Carhart-loving man are getting married in Addison, Vermont next summer. This is a relaxed, outdoor affair with touches of cute personality (like those buck & doe wedding cake toppers!). With Amanda's dress on the more formal side, the groom's got to match, but still fit in with the casual scenery. I chose a stone-grey suit that complements the tone of her dress, but isn't too fancy. The windowpane shirt in black is a subtle reference to the plaid New Englanders know and love, and a simple black tie adds a touch of formality. Staying in the neutral zone keeps it all a little more masculine, and allows room for the boutonnieres to play up the colors of the flowers and bridesmaid dresses. 

This groom loves FOX Racing gear and I threw him a bone with the black belt, which totally goes with the color scheme and gives a wink to his edgier side. Black men's oxfords work for a classic route, but if he really wants to make the outfit his own, why not wear black leather sneakers? I love when grooms add their own twist. It's so much more memorable and adorably endearing!Lastly, no cuff links for this groom. His shirt doesn't need 'em - and the silver watch is both functional and good-looking. 

I couldn't decide what boutonniere to add - with this backdrop, you can do any color combination! I opted instead for a peony bloom bouquet for Amanda that showcases deep pinks and light blushes. For the boutonniere, adding in a berry, leaf or fern reminiscent of the Addison area (along with a bloom from the bride's bouquet) would top it all off. Voila!

Hope you liked this one! xoxo, Abbey of Providence Classic

Pink, Red & Black in the Country - Option 2

Our next bride, Amanda, will be having her wedding in the beautiful state of Vermont. I love summer weddings in Vermont. So charming!

What will the groom, Thomas, wear to this low-key, casual affair? Check it out. The key design element was the numbered back drop. I bet you can't guess what they are! They're actually numbered coasters from Heather Lins Home! I'm totally loving its rustic quality. These would be perfect as framed table numbers (hmm...hint, hint.).

Using the background as inspiration, I decided to warm up Amanda's wedding palette (pink, red and black) with browns and other neutrals. The watch, belt and boots are a great example of this - mostly black with a bit of brown. The pieces are a bit rugged, yet clean at the same time. And, check out the unique buckle on the belt! It's totally amazing. I chose a black vest and pants option without a suit jacket. The vest alone gives off a casual, yet polished look. The red tie has a bit of a pink pattern, which is totally in line with the bride's wedding colors. Then, a pink pocket square to give the vest a hint of color. Finally, the whole look is topped off with a straw fedora!

I hope this inspires your country affair!

Pink, Red, & Black in the Country

Pink, Red, & Black Groom by makikoharris on Polyvore.com

Although this is a relaxed country wedding, I made sure to keep in mind the pink, red, and black wedding palette that Amanda and Thomas chose. To keep the look relaxed, opt for a dark suit over a tux, such as this classic two button style by Hugo Boss. Bring out the theme colors in small accents- such as pink blooms on the boutonniere or a colored silk tie. I would suggest not to add accent color to all accessories, which might be a bit overkill. At most, add color to two locations, such as the tie and boutonniere, the tie and cufflinks, the pocket square and tie, etc. In this set, I have decided to put color in the boutonniere and the tie, which is why I chose the black and silver cufflinks.

This look, although classic, gets quite playful when the bright wedding theme colors are added. It will be sure to complement both your bridesmaids and groomsmen, as well as your beautiful gown. I hope you got some good ideas! - Makiko

Groom Style Tip: Don’t Sweat It; It’s Your Wedding Day!

Summer is right around the corner and for those of you with an outdoor venue, we’ve got some cool tips for you!

Grooms:

Don’t think that a bride is the only one who can get away from the hot summer weather. You might not be able to opt for a shorter dress, but you can choose the fabric of your suit. The best way to stay cool under the sun is to go for a lightweight approach. Instead of the traditional heavy wool suit, try a nice linen suit. This light fabric allows the suit to be more breathable so you can endure the summer heat.

Brides:

As mentioned above, short dresses are an alternative for long heavy gowns, but if you like length and drama, you can always go for a sleek silk dress! Not only is this material extremely light, but it’s also super soft and smooth and definitely great for movement and comfort! If you’re not fond of silk, there are also other fabrics such as chiffon and charmeuse that have the same lightweight and comfort effect as silk!

Look how airy this dress is! It will flow beautifully down the aisle.

How will you stay cool? Let us know, leave a comment!

The Elegant, Modern Groom by Providence Classic

D&G Suit - $995.00; 9tailors shirts in Snow and Stripes - $60.00; Steve Madden Shoes - $99.95; Salvatore Ferragamo Belt - $270.00; TW Steel Watch - $525.00; Tiny Dot Bow Tie; Apt 9 Textured Tie - $30.00; Roulette Cufflinks - $29.99; John Varvatos Cufflinks - $330.00; Anemone Boutonniere.

Our bride Kimberly is marrying her love in Atlanta, Georgia in the spring. The look of her wedding is modern elegant romance, without being too formal. I chose this black D&G suit as the perfect example of classic with a contemporary touch. Think Josh Duhamel when he married that lady who will remain nameless due to my jealousy. H.O.T!

Kimberly's man can go traditional - white shirt with slim black bow tie or a little more mod with a textured slim white tie - or add a little flavor. The striped shirt, which comes off as solid from a distance, can be paired with the white tie or, for a fashion forward guy (and Kimberly's man seems on-trend, wearing Diesel and True Religion), go ahead and mix prints! Wear it with the bow tie, my personal favorite.

I love accessories. And somehow I always pick the expensive ones! But these Steve Madden shoes - with a fabulous thin toe, a must with slimmer pant legs - are a steal at $99.95. A reversible belt will find use long after the wedding day while roulette or gun cuff links add a shot of personality (this ain't no boring groom!). A rose gold and black watch is so handsome - and the mixture of metals is more interesting than wearing silver or gold from head to toe.

I, too, chose a single white flower for the boutonniere - an anemone, classic southern elegance.

Hope you liked today's style - stay tuned for next week's!
