Happy Mother’s Day!!!

A Mother’s Love

A Mother’s love is something that no one can explain,

It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain,

It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may

For nothing can destroy it or take that love away…

It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking,

And it never fails or falters even though the heart is breaking…

It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns,

And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems…

It is far beyond defining, it defies all explanation,

And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation…

A many splendored miracle man cannot understand

And another wondrous evidence of God’s tender guiding hand.

- Helen Steiner Rice

Everyone loves a handsome groom and just as the bride puts much time & work into her appearance on the big day, the groom has his work cut out for him as well! Here are a few tips and tricks for the gentleman that wants to make the most out of his wedding day appearance.

• Stand out amongst the groomsmen, the wedding party should complement the bride and groom.
• Remember the colour scheme for the entire wedding, to ensure that the suit is a good match.
• Ensure that the suit jacket has enough space to give you a full range of movement, with all of the hugging & dancing, you will need it.
• Keep the shirt collar no more or less than one finger-width apart for a perfect fit. The cuffs on a shirt should reach to the wrist on a button-cuff and 1/2 and inch over the wrist on a french-cuff.
• Wear a full back vest, especially for warm season weddings, as they will help to disguise perspiration & have gentlemen looking good when the jacket is removed.
• Pant length should stop 1/4 of the way down the shoe.

You’ve been chosen to be the best man… now what? You know that planning the bachelor party is one duty, but what else is expected of the best man at a wedding? Below are a few suggestions of duties, discuss with the couple which ones may be best for you.

Clothing Stylist – It is the best man’s job to attend suit trials with the groom & groomsmen, playing a role in the selection of what will be worn on the wedding day.

Cash Converter – Distribution of payments (to the officiant or musicians, for example) as well as attendance at the rehearsal, knowing groom’s details for the wedding day, are each the duty of the best man.

Stand By – During the ceremony, it is customary that the best man stand beside the groom at the alter, guarding the ring until the time calls.

Manage the Maid – The best man’s duty is to escort the maid of honour down the aisle, as well as inviting the mother’s of the bride & groom for a dance during the reception.

Say a Speech – The best man is often he who has known the groom the longest or who know’s the groom the best, therefore it is his responsibility to “wow” the crowd with a great speech about the new couple.

Class up the Car – The groom is responsible for decorating the vehicle that will carry the newly weds away from the reception.

Groom Attendant – Dressing. Driving. Witnessing… regardless of what the groom may need, it is the best man’s duty to ensure it is done.

Pink is that colour that can be infused into bridal & interpreted in so many ways! Fortunately its trending this season, giving brides everywhere the opportunity to be pretty in pink, any tone or shade!

Often complemented by beige, burnt orange & green; bridal pinks can also be seen paired with black, white & other pinks. The important part (of course) are the feelings we convey by the tone that colour sets, but regardless of your choice pink is a promise of romance, femininity & beauty.

Below are a few inspirational images for the bride that may consider playing pink on the big day!
