Summertime romance and fashion are in the air with this amazing Blushy, Tulle Perfection in Kestrel Park featuring Friar Tux’s chic Charcoal Shawl Lapel Tuxedo by Michael Kors in Style Me Pretty. This wedding was a cool blend of whimsical details and a classic design, and we just love the way Friar Tux’s tuxedo creates a perfect modern balance to the bride’s avant-garde gown. Friar Tux’s suit and tuxedo collections are perfect for any style of wedding: from modern to trendy, colorful to monochromatic- and their feature on Claire Pettibone proves just that with this Checkmate in Long Sleeve Lace feature. To complement the extravagant elegance of an al-lace gown, the groom wore a modern slim fit suit from Friar Tux’s Michael Kors Performance Collection in the newest color of Steel Blue!. In case you haven’t heard, the fabric in the suits/tuxedos from the Michael Kors Performance Collection keeps grooms, wedding parties and best dressed guests cool and comfortable on hot days.
