Francesca Loves: Bow Ties

Whether it be for the Main Man, his Groomsmen buddies or the little man carrying the rings, Bow Ties are making a come-back into the wedding scene in a big way. Bow ties are versatile and can be worn at very formal weddings and those that are more casual. They are a great way to add a pop of colour or pattern to the male ensemble or to add the finishing touch to a sleek tuxedo. Here are some bow tie ideas I really love!

Hello August!

I am so excited that it is August. We have so many fabulous things happening this month. We will be re-vamping the website, launching my gorgeous style guide, which is filled with  little musings on modern day manners. Good manners never go out of style! My favourite wedding tunes, and traditions I love. Plus lots more eye candy for you. 
Our first Boutique Wedding Market is booked and getting organised for March 26th 2011 at the gorgeous St Kilda Town Hall in Melbourne. It may have taken me a year to get her, but she is the most perfect place for our favourite wedding suppliers to show off and sell their wares.   Applications will be opening soon for this event. I will fill you in on all the details shortly. 

So join me in a glass of bubbly, or a strawberry milk whatever takes your fancy, and lets chink glasses to August, the start of fabulous things for Portobello Bride.
