A Charleston Bride

The ACB Guide to Style: For Grooms

Ok, so one of the questions we get most here at A Charleston Bride isn’t where to find the bride a dress- but where to find clothes for the groom! Men’s formal wear can be tough, so we’ve put together a list of our favorite spots here in Charleston to find the best suits, bow ties, and the rest of spring’s hottest men’s formal fashion.

High Cotton Ties
This place is the place to go for southern attire. They carry 100% cotton bow ties and cummerbunds of all colors and prints. A colorful bow tie at a spring wedding is a fun way to give the groom a pop of color without taking focus away from how great he looks in his suit (and next to his bride). Here are a few of our favorites:

Ben Silver
We are absolutely crazy about these black and white dot accessories from Ben Silver. From pocket squares to braces, Ben Silver does the dot right- not too cheesy, not over-done, but just right.

Jos. A. Bank

Found on King Street in Charleston, Jos. A. Bank has the perfect the suit for your soon-to-be-hubby. Rather than having your man stand beside you at the alter in a rented tux, send him to Jos. A. Bank to buy his own, personalized suit. He can pick the color, vest, and cut all to his liking. For spring weddings, we are seeing quite a lot of grooms in khaki suits and fun-colored ties. We are really digging this trend! It’s great to see a groom’s personality shine through on his wedding day with a little bit of color rather than your typical black-and-white tuxedo. And these summer weight suits are great for our South Carolina warm, spring weather.

Once upon a time…

A girl married a boy at a marvelously magical affair. Held at the William Aiken House in downtown Charleston, Laurie and Jeff joined hands and said “I do” in a beautiful ceremony, amidst a garden of hanging lanterns and white roses. They danced beneath a tent of royal blue and dined on deliciously rich wedding cake before riding away towards their happily ever after in a black taxi car. We are so lucky to be in a business that makes fairytales come to life.
