We like to think of ourselves as the experts on destination wedding trends (we’re pretty sure you agree!) including destination wedding fashion. With the fall season right around the corner we can’t wait another second to announce our fall wedding fashion trends for this season.

Fall fashions for destination weddings will always be completely different than regular fall weddings, mainly because it’s still hot and sunny.  For couples who have their heart set on a beach wedding when the leaves are falling at home, we’ve found some styles that will allow you to have both your cake and eat it too! Fall colors with a beach twist… why not?

Autumn Colored Shirts, Tan Colored Suits.

A lovely chocolate, warm burnt orange or spiced ginger hue makes for a handsome autumn groom. Pair those warm shades with an off-white, tan or champagne colored suit and it's like mixing summer and autumn together in a delicious combination. To keep it beach chic, lose the tie and cuff your jacket sleeves.  Autumn in the Caribbean is still sunny with a breeze light enough to make wearing a jacket outdoors comfortable. We think this look is very garden wedding friendly.

Plaids, Ginghams and Stripes.

All stripes are created equal in our books so feel free to mix and match your plaid and ginghams and off set with a solid colored vest to keep it beach casual. If nothing else, your wedding photos will be the most chic in all the land! If you’re a daring groom try a full thin stripped or gingham suit with a solid color shirt.

Make the "fall" for more debonair and stylish trends for men this season!

It’s August; summer is hurriedly coming to an end. While that may mean a slew of new fall and winter wedding trends, it also means time to incorporate your favorite summer trends into your wedding is winding down. One of the cutest spring/summer trends for 2012 were decorative mason jars incorporated into your table centerpieces. They’re cute and simple but add a homespun touch, plus they’re excellent flower and candle holders.

What You Need

Mason Jars

1 bottle of Mod Podge in Gloss

1 box of Food coloring

Water

3-4 Ramekins to mix colors in (one for each color). (Use ramekins you don’t mind getting dirty.)

1 bowl (Also use one that you can designate for arts and crafts).

Newspaper or paper bag

Wax paper

Cookie Sheet

Oven

Instructions

Step 1: Mix food coloring with a tablespoon or so of water into individual ramekins. You can do any color combination you like. (Get creative! If you’d like to make pink jars you will only need red food coloring and the Mod Podge because the Mod Podge is white. )

Step 2: Add about two to three tablespoons of Mod Podge into your mason jar.

Step 3: Pour one ramekin of color into the jar and stir mixture together by shaking car. Ensure your color is solid and no traces of Mod Podge are left.

Step 4: With a bowl underneath, carefully twist the jar around coating the whole inside with the Mod Podge and food coloring mixture. Pour the excess out into a bowl.

Step 5: Turn covered Mason jars upside down and set on newspaper or paper bag. Let dry upside down on the paper.Let them dry for about 30 minutes this way

Step 6: After 30-40 minutes Place the jars face down on top of wax paper covered cookie sheet and into an oven that is set on warm. Let dry upside down this way for about 10 minutes and then flip them over and let them dry another 20-30 minutes.

Step 7: You’ll know your jars are ready when, they look clear and the mixture should lose most of its streaks. If there are streaks left, continue to let it dry out in the oven.

When you’re done, you should have a gorgeous set of decorative mason jars for flowers or plants or illuminated with battery operated tea lights for your reception!

Warning: Jars are not safe to drink out of anymore at this point.
