Every man looks great in a tuxedo, but certain wedding locations call for a look that’s a little more laidback. Destination weddings continue to grow in popularity, and many couples plan their ceremonies to suit the location. If your ideal reception is a fiesta in Mexico or a clambake in Nantucket, then a crisp linen pant or classic boat shoes will keep the groom comfortable without sacrificing style.

1. BOSS Black Cloude Oxfords, 2. Perry Ellis Cotton Linen Suit Jacket, 3. Tommy Bahama Beachy Breezer Camp Shirt, 4. Tommy Bahama Linen on the Beach Pants, 5. SeaVees Sloop Moc, 6. John Varvatos Star U.S.A. Slim-fit Striped Shirt, 7. Würkin Stiffs 2.5" Power Collar Stays, 8. Vineyard Vines Shells Printed Tie, 9. Stacy Adams Cuff Links

Choose a tailored, pastel button up or brilliantly-hued camp shirt to set the tone for the rest of the bridal party. Seashell printed ties are a fun choice, but iridescent cuff links are subtle reminder of the ocean depths and are better suited to a more formal affair.

Whether a groom opts for classic oxfords or a contemporary linen jacket, a destination wedding is the ideal venue for unique colors, fabrics, patterns, and accessories that showcase his personal style.

Every DIY bride knows that it’s all in the details, right down to your wedding-day beauty regimen. Your wedding will be one of the most photographed events of your life, so getting ready for those close-up moments is definitely worth the extra effort!

Here are some tips for putting your best face forward on the big day:

Practice makes perfect: Just like if you were to go to a makeup artist, it’s important to do a “trial run” for your day-of makeup look. You want to make sure everything looks natural and flawless, and that your makeup can withstand the entire day!

Skin Prep: To get the perfect canvas, great skincare is key. Treat yourself to weekly at-home facials prior to the wedding. Stress can cause flair ups, so make sure to take extra good care of your skin during the hectic planning phase- exfoliate daily, eat a nutrient-rich diet of fruits and veggies, get plenty of sleep, and drink LOTS of water!

More is NOT more! : Keep your makeup simple and natural. You want to enhance your natural beauty, not mask it behind layers of makeup. The key is to look like you, but better.

Don’t overdo the powder or you’ll risk looking lackluster. With a big powder brush, lightly dust  a sheer finishing powder to seal your foundation.

A few strategic strokes of highlighter/luminizer in the inner corners of your eyes, brow bone and along the cheekbones goes a long way in making you look fresh and glowing. Don’t go shimmer-crazy or you could end up looking like a disco ball in your photos!

Designed for the sophisticated, modern bride with a nod to traditional style, the David Tutera® Shoe Collection features a variety of bridal shoes and sandals complement every bridal personality and style.

David’s designs give each bride the opportunity to feel like the belle of the ball, not just on her wedding day but in every day fashion.

Each shoe in the collection has been adorned with a little “something blue”—a genuine Swarovski® Crystal embedded into the shoe’s fine leather sole. Produced with the highest quality satins, jeweled and feathered embellishments, the David Tutera Shoe Collection will inspire every woman to step out in style and confidence.

While big, elaborate wedding gowns are awe-inspiring walking down the aisle, the reception dress, also known as the “cut-the-cake” dress, gives the bride a chance to let her hair down a bit. Going for a shorter, more relaxed dress will not only be more comfortable for the reception meet and greets, it’ll make it easier to have some fun with your guests on the dance floor! It is a celebration after all!

Springtime weddings are the best time to indulge in one of the prettiest color palettes out there—pastels! There’s just something totally alluring and sweet about these soft hues when done throughout your wedding motif.

Can’t quite decide which pastel shade to commit to? Another great trend in bridal is mixing up colors for a rainbow effect! Have each of your ladies wear her own shade of pastel that speaks to her personal taste and style.

Should you walk down the aisle without something blue? The tradition dates back to the Victorian England, but blue has been a symbol of faithfulness, purity, and loyalty since the days of ancient Rome. Sapphire earrings or a baby blue garter are a sweet and simple way to honor tradition, but bright cobalt nail polish isn’t as rebellious as your Great Aunt Muriel thinks! Before the nineteenth century, blue wedding dresses were far more common than white  gowns. Today, a soft blue dress makes a great "cut the cake" dress option!

Some brides choose to add a blue ribbon to their bouquets or add a blue monogram to their gowns. Unlike some bridal traditions, this is one custom that encourages creativity. Do you prefer teal to indigo? Adore azure, but can’t abide royal blue? Choose navy blue peep-toes or cobalt pumps to complement a more traditional gown.
