I'm not knocking tuxes, but these sweater vests paired with bold red ties and gray pinstripe pants for the groomsmen are hip. Put the groom in a more standard all-black tux (with a bold, coordinating tie) and he'll really stand out from the rest. Photo:

Yes, your rehearsal dinner tone can match your wedding's, but why not mix things up? If you're doing formal indoors for the main event, throw a backyard bash for the rehearsal dinner. I love the country musicians, the rusted jars and sunflower centerpieces

You don't have to ask your guests to sign a book. Use a vinyl record instead -- (like maybe with your first dance song). Put it on a table at the reception, throw silver or gold pens out, and encourage your guests to give you their autographs. Photo:

I never bought into the whole "less is more" philosophy, but I'm finally starting to get it now that I've seen these centerpieces. They're much more striking than any overstuffed vase I've come across. Get more ideas in our centerpiece photo gallery !

This chiffon bridesmaid dress by Amsale popped from all the rest in an orange-spice color. Love the way the dress moves, the flower at the waist, and the universally flattering scoop neckline too. Would she wear it again? Maybe, maybe not. But hey, it’ll
