Puppy Wedding Day Attire

I'm a sucker for any wedding that includes a dog.  After seeing all of these keepsake images of
a bride with her dog(s), I kinda regret not having my little pup, Huckleberry, around the day of
our wedding.  It was probably for the best since he might not be the best behaved dog (he's a jumper AND a licker).  I know some people think it's strange to dress up dogs but don't tell me you don't like it when they sport their formal attire. 


I do love seeing a Lowcountry pooch in a bowtie!

Thanks to Charleston bride-to-be Jen, I found this awesome Etsy Shop, Silly Buddy.  Based out of Chicago, Silly Buddy provides a wide array of collars, leashes and bowties!  Check out the website to see sweet Buddy himself model the large variety of sizes, colors and patterns. 

How precious is Buddy? Such a stud.

Bow Ties: The Cordial Churchman

In June 2009, with the encouragement of her husband, Southern transplant,

Ellie Laveer made her first bow tie and luckily for all of our Southern men, she hasn't stopped. 

Since then, her creations have graced numerous blogs, calling them perfect "bow ties for newbies" and vets alike, many weddings throughout the Southeast and abroad (we love them down here in the Lowcountry), and were even featured in Southern Weddings.

The Cordial Churchman  offers a wide range of styles and fabrics.  They come in butterfly, diamond point, straight bow ties, and narrow and fat butterfly ties. TCC can even convert an old necktie to into a bow tie complete with sliders to make it fully functional.  You can even request your ties be reversible.

Take a peek at a few of our Lowcountry favorites...

Madras, Gingham, Seersucker...There's a little something for everyone!

Okay, best part...need to order your ties in mass quantity, say, for a wedding?  Well, The Cordial Churchman can make custom ties for groom and his groomsmen.  You can choose from their plethora of fabrics or send in your own selection.  Check out these dapper dudes...

The Cordial Churchman even makes ties for the little guys, too...so don't forget the ring bearers!

How cute is this little gentleman?  What a stud!
