A
BRIDE & GROOM’S WEDDING WEEKEND WARDROBE
REHEARSAL DINNER
HIS: At a Las Vegas boutique about a year ago, we found sparkly black-on-black damask print pants that we thought would be perfect for the Rehearsal Dinner. Paired with a silk white-on-white damask print button up and iridescent hologram loafers, the look would be complete! But then, as we were shopping for something else, we came across the solarized flower cigarette pant by Alexander McQueen and everything changed! Paired with a white and cream, subtly sparkly, damask polo and a textured white sport jacket – the McQueen pant outfit was the winning option. White Italian loafers finished the look
HERS: Like Brandon, I initially had a different outfit for the Rehearsal Dinner that would’ve matched his first outfit. A cream and white midi dress in a cut velvet damask with metallic threading. An amazing pair of champagne hexagon-heeled platforms by Balmain and complimenting Deepa Gurnani earrings were the best part! Instead, I found the lace dress I envisioned all along and paired it with leopard-print Louboutin satin pumps and Ben-Amun drop earrings.
CEREMONY
HIS: Since we wanted a romantic black-tie aesthetic, we chose a vintage style white and black tuxedo. The suit was custom made in Italian fabrics with a secret embroidered note on the inside jacket. To continue the regal vibe, Brandon chose the embroidered Dolce & Gabanna tuxedo slipper as his shoe. He wore his grandfathers cufflinks and a velvet bowtie to match.
HERS: My Aunt and mom replaced the light blue gemstone in the Deepa Gurnani earrings, added extra jewels and filigree to the front of the crown and attached secret lucky charms on the back – an Owl, Poodle, Clover, Cherub & Horseshoe

THE SECOND DRESS:
The most important thing about the second dress was that it could fit in our getaway car – Brandon’s teeny tiny 1980 Corvette! I wanted to still be bridal but not so formal or regal. It needed to be comfortable enough to dance in and breathable enough to last the rest of the night. For all of these reasons, I chose the Mac Duggal Ruffle Tiered Cut-Out Chiffon Gown and paired it with Michael Kors white braided strap sandals, pink crystal earrings & an Our Lady of Guadelupe diamond necklace.
