MADDY K WEDDINGS | Montreal Wedding Planner

It seems as though the boys always get left out when it comes to the glamorous side of the wedding rituals… taking backseat to the blushing bride and her gorgeous shoes, gowns and jewels…

Not anymore ladies!  Today’s gentlemen are refined, sophisticated and in the know when it comes to their couture – ready to indulge and splurge on the perfectly tailored suit and all the accessory trimmings to match!

Here at Maddy K, the planning doesn’t stop at the lovely ladies – we know what our men want too!

Harry Rosen has been a longtime favorite (if only because we love the Tom Ford range their carry)… suits to flatter and compliment any venue, theme and ritual.  Getting hitched on the beach?  Why not get fitted for a luxe linen suit?  Black-tie affair?  Go all out in true contemporary/classic style.

Men are learning (most probably from their wives-to-be) the value of ditching the renting regime for a suiting practice that’s a whole new level of refined.  Building a beautiful wardrobe with threads to suit any occasion is the new chic.

On a bit of a budget but not interested in skimping on trends and style?

Waxman’s is a great one-stop shop for first class rentals and made-to-measure fittings!  A family business since the 20′s that has ever since been passed down and admired for it’s reputable service and quality – it has become one of Montreal’s most notorious tailoring houses.

Maddy’s favorite menswear picks for 2011?

Grey suits will be tearing up bridal trends (the perfect compliment to yellow and fuchsia pink – two major colors of the upcoming season), and of course you can never go wrong with a classic tux topped with an English tie!

Interested in the historic aspect of the tux?  Waxman’s have you covered…

“Officially, the tuxedo was born on October 10, 1886, the day wealthy American heir Griswold Lorillard walked into New York City’s very posh Tuxedo Club sporting a single-breasted jacket without tails. His new take on white tie caused both a scandal and a sensation. From that day forward, the tuxedo became the stuff of legends, and it has since turned into a must for any grand occasion. In memory of its birthplace, North Americans still call it the tuxedo.”

(Of course you can hit up their site for the facts on the international variations to come after…)

Hope your week is going beautifully!
