I'm Amy, and I love to plan and design events! Weddings, parties, corporate events - whatever the occasion, I love to make it fabulous. Thanks for stopping by! It's nice to meet you!
Dapper. Dashing. Charming. Just a few ways to describe a well-dressed gentleman. Today's find is for the man in your life. So much of a wedding is about the bride and the ceremony and love. Let's not overlook that handsome guy who started the whole process with one simple question - "Will you marry me?"
Today I'm enchanted with the folks at Fine and Dandy. Here's how they describe their shop - "FineAndDandyShop.com caters to the guy who
enjoys dressing up. He doesn't believe in Casual Friday, nor thinks of
getting dressed each day as a chore. He has an appreciation for the
well dressed gentlemen of yesteryear and is inspired by their unabashed
use of accessories. This shop is for that modern man looking for the
finishing details to truly be fine and dandy." (sigh, I love a well dressed man.)
Need to add that special touch to your guys wedding suit? Look no further! Fine and Dandy is the place to shop. They offer so many accessories - pocket squares, ties, ascots (yes, ascots!), suspenders (that's right!), cufflinks and more. Looking for a gift? They also have money clips, tie bars, wallets, scarves, and flasks. And, the site is sprinkled with a little fashion history, too. As you shop for accessories, you can read about the origins of each fashion and how it has evolved.
Here are a few of my favorites:
Love the striped hatband and pop of color in the feather detail. Hats are so popular right now for casual dress, why not add one to the wedding style and have some fun with your photos?
And the ties! Lots of fun colors in the bowtie department. And some handsome vintage and classic looks for neckties. This pop of bright green is perfect for a summer wedding, don't you think?
Looking for an interesting pocket square in lieu of a boutonniere? They have some dandy styles to choose from! I love this one.
And, love the cufflinks! Don't think you need them? Just listen to what Fine & Dandy has to say, "Cufflinks show just a hint of personal style, peaking out from the
jacket sleeve. Whether a basic solid silver, novelty design, or silk
knot, cufflinks are the perfect way to add a little subtle punch to the
everyday suit, shirt, and tie."
These are my personal favorite. Classic, timeless. But, they have many styles to choose from, even a few novelty styles.
Still undecided on accessorizing your man? I think Charles Henry says it best on the Fine & Dandy inspiration page. Here he is recounting advice given by his grandfather, "Don't be afraid to show a little flair. It’s easy enough to match a shirt with a suit, but, as with anything that is repetitive, it’s easy to become boring after awhile. Accessories are meant to add some life and energy to an otherwise monotonous daily uniform. There are no rules. Mix and match. Wear what you love. And most importantly, don't be afraid to show a little flair."
