Men: Be Well-Groomed

In order to stay "in the know" for my clients, I spend quite a bit of time each week perusing through the wedding blogosphere. I would hardly call that "work" though. Once I start on my blog roll, I am happily sucked into the beautiful world of weddings for hours! There is so much eye candy out there to keep us inspired, from ombre dresses to castle cakes and everything in between. I am still discovering new blogs everyday to add to my blog roll, and one of my recent favorite is the Well-Groomed blog by Darren, targeted specifically to men to help them be stylish gentlemen on the wedding day.

I love the Q & A sessions that Darren conducts on his blog, providing really valuable and practical tips for grooms. Not sure what color loafers to match a navy suit? What about finding that perfect tie to go with your vest-less tux? Keep up with Darren's stylish tips to help you become a well-groomed man on the most important day of your life.

We Love SoleMates!

When we find something we love, we just can't seem to stop talking about it! SoleMates is the best invention for ladies since Spanx, and we want every bride to know about them.

Many of our brides love the idea of an outdoor wedding, but are often concerned about ruining their heels in the grass or gravel. I'm sure their guests may share the same concern as well. After all, ladies love their stilettos at weddings! SoleMates is an ingenious invention which helps to increase the surface area of the heel, protecting them from sinking into soft surfaces or getting trapped in cracks on the ground.

This would make a really thoughtful gift for bridesmaids to help protect their heels, and if you want to go the extra mile to wow your guests, have a basket of SoleMates at your outdoor ceremony as a gift to the ladies in heels!

Bluestem Brasserie: An Ideal Location for your Rehearsal Dinner

When my good friend Stacie Hallinan from the Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco told me about her newest neighbor, Bluestem Brasserie, I jumped online right away to check them out.

Bluestem Brasserie is on Yerba Buena Lane, overlooking Market Street, and is brand new to the San Francisco restaurant scene. On June 23, 2011, it opened its doors, introducing their slick and urban space designed by Lundberg Design (who also designed The Slanted Door and The Moss Room at the De Young Museum).

I made reservations to check them out right away. It was a rather quiet afternoon on a Friday, and I chose to sit in their casual lounge area, where I could people-watch through their large windows. I ordered their lamb burger, which has already gotten a lot of fabulous reviews online. It turned out to be the very best lamb burger I ever had--incredibly juicy and flavorful, on a delicious foccacia roll. After lunch, I gave myself a self guided tour, and had the good fortune of meeting Adam Jed, one of the co-founders of Bluestem Brasserie. Adam walked me through their private event space upstairs, which includes both an indoor and outdoor area, allowing a nice flow between the two areas.

If you are seeking a hip, stylish city space for your rehearsal dinner, I think Bluestem Brasserie would be a great choice. Enjoy these photos taken by the talented Angie Silvy!
