Some Wedding Necessities That You’ll Regret Not Having on Your Wedding Day

You definitely want your wedding to be one of the most if not the most memorable day of your life. That’s why careful planning is very important. You wouldn’t want to forget anything and mess up the whole event. However, there’re so many different things to take care of so it’s easy and normal to forget something that may make a big difference. Worry not because here’s a checklist of different things that you might regret doing on your wedding day in retrospect.

1.) Not hiring a professional makeup artist and hair stylist for your wedding.

There’s no better time than your wedding day to pamper yourself and get your hair and makeup done by professionals. They definitely know the look that’ll make you be the star of the occasion.

2.) Not doing personal vows.

Your wedding day should celebrate how beautiful your relationship is and what makes it different from others.

3.) Not hiring a videographer.

The services of a videographer may be costly but a professional video of your wedding day will be something you’ll treasure for the rest of your life. You can relive the moments anytime you want and even show it to your children and grand children.

4.) Wearing uncomfortable shoes during the reception.

It’s a given that the bridal shoes should both be beautiful and comfortable. That goes with the shoes you wear during the reception (in case you change). For sure you’d be doing lots of dancing and greeting guests.

5.) Not telling your photographer all the moments that you want him to capture.

There’re must-have photos. Not having sweet and important moments captured will be extremely disappointing.

6.) Not feeding your guests on time.

Having great tasting food served on time is part of the big celebration. You wouldn’t want to be remembered as the person who had lousy food served late on her/his wedding day. Furthermore, you don’t want guests to be drunk or too hungry during essential parts of your reception.

7.) Not getting ready with your bridal party the morning of your wedding.

I know it’s usual for brides to get dressed alone but getting dressed up with your bridesmaids is always enjoyable. Plus, you shouldn’t miss the chance to have some girl time before the ceremony. If you looked up wedding dresses on your own, you should definitely spend time putting them on with your girls.

8.) Not looking thoroughly for the right wedding dress.

It doesn’t have to be expensive but it should definitely feel like the perfect dress for you. Try shopping online in websites such as JJ’s House (Jjshouse.com), the global leading online retailer for wedding gowns, special event dresses, wedding party dresses, and accessories.

What Should You Wear to a Modern Wedding?

Modern weddings are now much more unique. Rather than following a traditional path, many couples are now celebrating in their own way, creating a day that suits their relationship rather than a set of ‘rules’.

Just as the wedding ceremony is gradually changing to incorporate more modern ideas, what people choose to wear to weddings is also changing. Part of this comes down to the fact that more people are choosing outdoor locations but it is also a sign that we are approaching marriage in a more informal way. Couples are now much more likely to organise their wedding together as opposed to the bride and her family taking control.

As the ceremony becomes more personal, it is hardly surprising that people want to express something more than formality in what they wear!

The only problem with this is figuring out what you should wear.

Traditional Wedding

The traditional wedding is still the easiest to dress for, though if you are on a budget, it might be quite tight. Morning coats, jackets and silk ties with trousers are still the basic dress code. A pocket square may also help to make you a bit fancier without bumping the price up too high! If you are looking for a silk tie in a particular colour and don’t want to spend a fortune, Ties R Us is a good place to start.

For a formal wedding, it might actually be better to rent your suit rather than to buy. Though buying will give you the perfect fit, unless you are going to a lot of traditional weddings, the investment is probably not worth it. On the other hand, if you are not a standard size, you may find a rented suit uncomfortable and ill-fitting.

Finding a suit that fits is all about getting the measurements right. You don’t want to feel uncomfortable in a suit that is too tight to sit down in but equally you don’t want to be hitching your trousers up every few minutes! Use a measuring tape to measure yourself (or ask a partner!) before you go and try some different suits.

Different cuts will naturally suit different body shapes so don’t worry if you have taken all the right measurements and a suit still doesn’t work. Try a different cut and see which works best for your body shape.

Beach Wedding

Beach weddings are becoming more and more common and though the scenery might look amazing on photos, the sand can be a small to medium sized problem. Obviously, you won’t want to wear your best leather shoes on this kind of terrain but flip flops feel a little too casual given the circumstances. GQ recommends espadrilles as a viable alternative as they will cover your feet and look alright with a suit.

So now your feet are covered, what is the suit situation? You don’t want to be sweating a lot while the happy couple say their vows so dressing lightly is key. Paler colours are usually a good idea, as well as a finer fabric for the hot weather. You might also like to make a bold shirt choice and forget about having a tie altogether. There is a natural holiday spirit in the beach wedding so enjoy yourself!

Once again, getting a good fit for your suit is crucial as the wind, sand and heat are all going to have an impact on your comfort. On the subject of weather, putting a light hat on such as a straw fedora could be a nice touch, handily shading your eyes from the sun and keeping the heat off the top of your head.

Winter Wedding

The winter wedding season is fast approaching and as couple hope for just a light, photogenic dusting of snow, you need to figure out how on earth you are going to dress for the occasion. There are two main problems to work through: first is what you are going to wear outside when it is cold and second, how you are going to layer appropriately so that you will be dressed for heated rooms inside.

The right coat is a good place to start. Choose something nice and thick such as wool and opt for a more tailored look. Going for a dark colour that matches your suit is a good idea and adding a complementary scarf will help to keep your neck nice and warm. Go for a thinner knit rather than a chucky ‘Grandma made this’ kind of look!

Your shoes are also important and you should make sure that they are waterproof. There is literally nothing worse than accidentally standing in a puddle on your way there and having to suffer and cold damp sock for the rest of the day. Thicker soles are a good idea too as you will have better grip if there is a frost.

Again, you might like to add a hat to your outfit and bring an umbrella too. Unfortunately, British weather doesn’t often play as nicely as it appears to in romantic films and your are more likely to get torrential rain than the perfect sprinkling of snow. Bring a large umbrella: you will be expected to share!

Two Rules to Remember

The modern wedding has come a long way from its traditional past and though figuring out rather elusive dress codes like “smart-casual” can be a bit of a minefield, there are still two set rules to remember.  

The first rules is that whatever you choose to wear, having a good fit is crucial. Weddings are long events these days and often come with multiple locations. This means that you need to be comfortable for the entire day and show off your best side to your friends and family.

And the second rule is simple: have fun with your clothes, show off a little bit of personality in your choices and enjoy the day. You are going to be photographed a lot so it is worth the investment to get something that makes you look great.

Suits of the future — how is technology influencing our tailoring

It is said that the suit that we all know and love today started in the early 1800s by a gentleman called Beau Brummell. He replaced long-tailed coats and silk stockings with the classic suit jacket accompanied by full-length trousers and it all went from there. But as we’re faced with new challenges (such as the lengthy daily commute) and as we strive to cut out time consuming activities (ironing a suit can be draining), what does the future look like for our tailoring? CT shirts, retailers of the morning suitmen’s casual shirts, investigate:

Past innovations

One of the latest in shirt technology is temperature adjusting materials. In many cases, this works by controlling the body heat of the wearer. Researchers across the US developed clothing that changes how much radiation escapes from the shirt and how easily air can circulate around the body. Although heat controlling technology in clothing is not new, it is only in recent years that it has made its way into wearable clothing when it was once reserved for those in space. This sort of technology not only improves comfort levels for the wearer but can potentially have knock on positive effects on the environment. Air conditioning (AC) accounts for an outstanding 13% of energy used in the US. If our shirts become temperature regulated then it is possible we will be in lower need of constant AC — reducing our carbon footprint so we all benefit!

Non-iron shirts are more than convenient. Enjoy an extra 10 minutes in bed as you pull your work shirt out of the dryer and put it on straight away — wrinkle free and no need to haul out the ironing board. The technology behind the non-iron shirt includes a process that strengthens the fabric, preventing the molecules from moving as much and increasing its resistance to creasing.

It’s important to be able to move freely in our suits. Especially when you’re sitting in the same place for a prolonged period of time, such as at the desk, on your way to work or at a fancy dinner. This is where the latest mechanical stretch technology comes in to play. This sort of technology works with the materials of the suit to improve its flexibility. Some suit jackets and shirts achieve this stretch through incorporating a small percentage of elastane in the fabric and this is enough to enhance the comfort of the garment.

Future innovations

Wearable payment gadgets are something that researchers and corporations are spending a lot of time exploring. Of course, we already have the ability to pay contactless with a smart watch or phone but that’s just not enough! MasterCard paired with fashion designer Adam Selman to explore the idea of inserting a microchip into clothing, perhaps in the sleeve of a jacket or into a bag — allowing you to pay for items with even less effort. This concept could have some effect on our tailoring trends as cuff links and pockets could become payment devices!   

Forget buying multiple of the same suit in different colours, colour-changing fabrics are here to shake up the fashion industry. The research behind it is ever advancing and there are a few ongoing projects developing the idea. One of the projects, explored by scientists at the University of Michigan, is looking at incorporating tiny crystals that react differently depending on the wavelength of light. This affects the crystal’s formation and how they look in terms of colour to others. Other research, carried out in Montreal, is investigating how electricity from human movement can power electric fabric and change its colour. It appears that the research is a long way off from our high streets, but it is paving the way for colour-changing materials in the future.

The price of a high-quality, tailored suit can be quite high and many take pride in keeping it in good condition. It is then unsettling when a sleeve is caught on a door handle or on something sharp and the material is damaged. The latest technology in textiles is addressing this issue through the development of self-healing fabric. It works by coating regular fabric in a special solution that, when ripped, is able to melt back together at low temperatures. Other research has founded that E. coli bacteria has self-replicating properties and this is being explored in order to discover if it can be used to knit broken fabric back together.   

From past to future innovations, it’s clear to see that our wardrobes aren’t what they used to be. Many developments are being made in order to make our lives easier and further enhance our suits to meet our highly digital and busy lifestyles.

America’s Most Trendy AF Cities

Image source

Nothing makes a man feel more confident than stepping looking dapper AF. It’s what puts that little bounce in our stride. It’s what gives us the can-do positivity to conquer the world. It’s about stepping out, turning heads, enjoying double takes and getting recognition for the way you put yourself together. But if you want to take that up a notch, you’ll want to book in with https://www.mybekins.com/, pack up your fine threads and your bespoke belongings and take yourself to one of America’s coolest, most stylish cities and see how you fare against the most fashionable out there. If you want to be the be the most stylish, you’ve got to beat the most stylish, and that starts with being inspired by the most stylish.

So, without further ado, these are the most sartorially-savvy cities in the US. Some you’ll have expected, but others may come as a bit of a surprise.

  1. The City Of Angels

We all knew it was coming, right? And it’s true. There is perhaps no American city more on-trend than LA. Everywhere you look, there are new definitions of cool. There are infinite inspirations and innovations happening on the style front, with every single street being a veritable runway for showing off the sophistication of California cool. From the little boutiques to Melrose Avenue, it’s classic American cool.

  1. NYC, Baby

This is a contender for the most stylish city in the world, never mind America. It’s a place where fashion beats in every heart, every neighborhood, every borough nook and cranny, each one boasting its own vibe and flair. Fashion design schools, sky-high selfie backdrops and an infinite amount of stylish shops and high-end affairs – if you can turn heads in this place, your fashion is on point.

  1. Chi-town Style

This place boasts something for everyone and everyone knows how to make their own sense of cool stand out come rain or shine. It’s summertime cool and cold-weather fashion fixes. It’s throwbacks to the 80s and 90s at vintage stores like Kokorokoko and modern swagger that floats straight off the Midwest Fashion Week runways. It may be the Second City, but it’s first-rate when it comes to style.

  1. A-Plus For Atlanta

If you’re a sunshine-chaser – a gentleman that knows how to perfect his look when the rays start to dance – you need to test your mettle in one of America’s coolest summertime cities. It’s a place that screams style from every street corner. But if you want to get your hands on the latest trends, you need to head to the Little Five Points neighborhood. This place has the next big looks before anywhere else. If you want to check out our favourite vintage thread store, though, you need to hail a cab and get to Rag-O-Rama. One-offs are where style really stems from.

  1. Seattle Style

When it comes to standout shopping districts and vibrant boutiques, you’ll have a tough time finding somewhere more diverse and dapper than Seattle. From Ballard to Bellevue, this place knows how to dress sharp.
