…And Other Tips For Personalizing Your Wedding!

He may be a well known planner to celebs, but now Colin Cowie has teamed up with Brides.com to share his secrets with all of us!

There’s tons of great inspiration to grab from this creative mind, but I absolutely love his ideas on how to personalize your day.  One of them suggests, “offering a series of signature cocktails named after each of the bridesmaids and groomsmen”…

 …What a fun way to not only honor, but also thank your bridal party for all they’ve done!  Fun, right?  I can just picture the talk between your guests over brunch the next day – saying, “I had too many Angelinas last night…” – ha!  Priceless.

Give Your Man This “Thing” To Wear Instead!

It’s your wedding.  Your man.  Your decision.  Depending on the style of your wedding, you may or may not want him to wear a tie.  However, if you truly feel it’s a must and he’s feeling he’s too cool to wear a tie come the big day, I’ve found the perfect answer!  He can’t argue this awesome “accessory“.  In fact, he’ll probably love it!

“This Is Not A Tie” ~ by Etsy seller Toybreaker:

“French: Ceci n’est pas une cravate. English translation: This is not a tie.” – Toybreaker

This, uh, “accessory” as we’re calling it, comes in other colors as well, so you can coordinate them with your wedding!  If your groomsmen are also crying about having to wear a tie (boys will be boys), let them in on the fun too.  Have them each sport one of these handsome pieces!

You know they’ll love it and so will you…when you get your way!  There.  Now everyone’s happy, see?  Find these styles and more by visiting the Toybreaker shop now.  Cheers!
