The Well-Dressed Man

A wedding is the perfect excuse for your man to find the perfect suit, that he can hopefully wear over and over again. Bonobos is a great brand of men's clothing, and they happen to have a pretty awesome collection of suits as well. 

Here are some tips on finding the perfect fit from the team at Bonobos:

• Fit starts with the shoulders: The jacket should grab your shoulders snuggly but not be overly tight. If the shoulders fit, pretty much anything else can be adjusted.
• Length matters: To determine the appropriate length, you should be able to cup the bottom of the suit with your arms by your side.
• Show some shirt: A flexible but general rule of thumb is to have a quarter-inch of your shirt cuff showing. If you’re wearing a heavier cuff, like a French cuff, you may want to show a little more.

Classic Engagement Session by Chris Cornwell Photography

I officially have a huge photographer crush! Going through these photos was so hard as every photo just happened to be better than the last! The composition and lighting lead to a stunning collection of engagement photos for this couple. Also, I'm pretty sure I want a horse now, these horses are positively stunning.

Rustic Glam Engagement Session

I'm totally obsessed with this engagement session by Lanie Louise Photography. These locations are just to die for, not to mention, I'm totally loving her outfits.

Currently Coveting - Hayley Paige Dori

While I was checking out the new Haute Bride bridal salon in Los Gatos, a little something caught my eye.  And this might just be the dress that makes me do it all over again. 

The Hayley Paige Dori is basically the perfect take on a traditional ballroom style dress with a modern twist. That slight purple tone is stunning, the bodice and those large ruffles. It is just perfection.

Vintage Inspired Shoot by 1985Luke Photography

This girly vintage-inspired shoot is a beauty. So many fun details and some beautiful floral arrangements that will have you giddy by the end of this post! 

From the photographer: This styled shoot was born out of two girly-girls' (my wife BreAnne & makeup artist Priscilla Wright) desires to create an incredibly feminine shoot.

Set in Anderson County Park in Morgan Hill, CA, we collaborated with Bay Area vendors to style this project, drawing inspiration from the English, teatime, & Equestrian traditions! The result, with equestrian touches, color scheme of pinks, & the amazing fashion, made us feel as though we had stepped into My Fair Lady to capture our make-believe-bride being wed at the famous English races! 

Los Gatos Florist, LaniElizabeth, arranged blush & white garden roses, tulips, & magnolia leaves in bouquets, teacups, & even inside a vintage trophy cup! Streams of black & ivory ribbons hung from the bride's bouquet finished with a pink prize ribbon from the Manchester Junior horse show! They also brought vintage books, pink teacups, clocks, & an antique silver teapot (with real tea for us to shoot!)

Nostalgic Engagement Shoot by Hunter Ryan Photography

This engagement session blends together love with nostalgic times including an old time sweets shop and a really awesome red truck! Throw in a sequin dress and I'm game all day long! 

Q. How did you two meet? Jennifer: We met through friends at the Edison Restaurant. I was sitting with my girlfriend and her husband when her new neighbor's joined our table. Her new neighbors happened to be Dylan's father and girlfriend and his uncle Bob was also in town. When Dylan finished playing golf he came over a sat at our table and asked for my number. We went out on a date a few days later and have been together ever since. 

Q. How did he propose? Dylan: I asked her to go for a walk in Yosemite and she was hesitant but eventually gave in...i got to a point where we could see the sunset and asked her to come up on this side hill so we could get a better view. Then I got down on one knee and asked her. Jennifer: We had been hiking all day and had just finished an amazing family dinner of homemade tacos and all the fixings when he asked me to go for a walk to watch the sunset. After climbing up this hill and watching the sunset Dylan got down on one knee. Each time I wiped away my happy tears I was rubbing hot sauce from the tacos into my eyes ha. 

Q. What are some of your favorite things to do together? Dylan: We love to socialize in controlled environments. Jennifer is becoming a great golfer so the golf course is a favorite place. We love to spend time with Jennifer's daughter Isabella. We love the beach and traveling. Jennifer: We love to cook dinner at our house and socialize with our friends. We also love good music and try to go to outdoor concerts and other live shows. Dylan loves to golf and I took up the sport so we like to golf together (I’m still learning) as well as play on a male and female golf leagues at the Fort Myers Country Club. We love taking Bella to the beach, traveling and trying new things.
