Ring in the New Year with some Old World Charm!

In the world of fashion, trends are always changing. Yet some trends will remain forever timeless, like classic pearls. Why not plan a wedding that captures the beauty of the past? Consider vintage styles when deciding on your day's dress and accessories. A beautiful sheath gown paired with pearl earrings can give you an Audrey Hepburn charm that will leave your guests breathless. Little details like pearls on your 1940's style pumps will complete this class distinguish your vintage look.

Chances are you may enjoy festive cocktails as you ring in the new year in just a few days, so why not carry on the same celebratory cheer as you toast to your nuptials. A signature wedding cocktail serves many purposes for your wedding day. Not only does it showcase your style, but it can be a great alternative to an open bar. Personalize your drinks with fun straws or flags, or garnish them with DIY infused ice cubes. For added flair, pick a fun glass to match your wedding theme.

Beau Ties Ltd. of Vermont is the desired source for silk bow ties, neck ties, coordinates and dress shirts for men. The beloved accessories for men are offered in a variety of styles and add that extra class to any ensemble.

Picking a color scheme for your winter wedding can be a little overwhelming. If you're looking for something elegant, consider a navy and gold scheme for your big day. From the actual wedding invitations to your wedding cake, these colors look tasteful everywhere. Your bridesmaids navy dresses will pop next to their gold flowers as will your navy napkins atop golden plates. 

The understated elegance of vintage china provides a perfect pop of unexpected charm for the DIY-bride's wedding. Repurposing old tea cups can give new life to items you may already have around the house, or you can have fun hunting for these hidden gems. These eye-catching candles can be placed throughout your wedding venue, or given as favors to guests. Create your own tea cup candles in several easy steps:

Step One: Melt down wax in a double boiler. You can buy wax and dye it to match your color palette, or use bits of old candles you can't burn anymore.
