Gentlemens Lounge

Weddings are typically all about the bride and planning the day they have dreamed about since they were a little girl. But now, more than ever, we are seeing grooms becoming involved in the planning and adding their style and personality into the celebration.

While cupcake and dessert bars have enjoyed huge popularity, it's now time for the boys to make their presence felt and welcome the trend of a Cigar and Cognac Bar. Not only do they look fantastic but they are also great for the element of interactive entertainment, and just think of the fabulous photos you'll get of your groom and his mates.




Setting up your cigar bar can be as simple or as elaborate as you like. Think about whether you want a
classy, old-fashioned feel or a contemporary chic vibe. Consider customizing the lighters and matches, using attractive ashtrays and designing special cigar bands with your names and wedding date on them. Your accompanying drink station can be stocked with cognac, scotch, brandy and rum, all spirits which traditionally match cigars perfectly.

If you are looking to hire someone to create your sophisticated man-cave... white + white weddings in Brisbane and The Style Co in Melbourne have created some amazing cigar and cognac bars. I highly recommend them.

It's A Boy Thing

More often then not, the boys take a sideline when it comes to weddings... but this doesn't have to be the case. I love the idea of having your photographer take some casual shots of your groom and his mates either the night before, or the morning of the wedding. I adore this image below of the guys sitting in the pool, and the one of them chilling on the deck chairs... Soooo hot !!! Here's another thought... if your guy is an avid surfer, or into cars or bikes, why not get some candid shots of the boys just being boys. Let's not forget girls, that this is the biggest day of your fiances life as well !! And surely it's a day you don't want him to forget! So, make sure you capture every bit of his excitement in his day too!!

And The Groom Wore Grey

While i was obsessing over weddings in Italy recently, i noticed something... most of the time the groom wore a grey suit! I never really liked the idea of straying from a traditional black suit, but you just have to look at these photos to see how outstanding the men look. My new obsession is definitely grooms in fashionable grey suits. Ohhh and just imagine how perfect it would look against the backdrop of the Amalfi Coast!! Hhhhhmmmm ... dreamy !!!

Duck Duck Duck... Egg Blue

Easter has me thinking, and in love with Duck Egg Blue all over again. So today i am re-posting my duck egg blue inspiration board.

Duck egg blue, Robin's egg blue, pale blue, ice blue, french blue. The contrast of a subtle soft blue against wedding white is so romantic and simply stunning.
