Weddings for the Country Club Set

Do you love tennis, the country club, pink and green, and Izod shirts? Infuse your preppy wedding with panache with this fresh wedding style.


ATTIRE:
Groom and groomsmen: Khaki pants and navy jackets

Bride: a strapless dress with a ball gown skirt made of tulle - perhaps have your monogram incorporated into the embroidery on the bodice. Think classic designers including Vera Wang, Amsale, and Carolina Herrera.

Bridesmaids: Lilly Pulitzer dresses, Vanessa Fox

FLOWERS: Have abundant spring flowers including peonies and roses. Use small topiary to hold the place cards. Ask your waiters to wear ties that match the flowers and decorations.

CAKE: Incorporate your joint monogram (or, if you will have the same last name after the wedding, the initial of your new last name) into the cake. You’ll want to monogram your napkins to match, naturally.

SETTING: Outside at your parents summer house, or at a yacht club, or a river house. Think summery and preppy.

SPECIAL TOUCH: Release butterflies as you exit the place of worship.
