Get Groomsmen Tailoring Done Early
To ensure your groomsmen get the sleek look every wedding party strives for, have their outfits tailored to fit, or even better - customized and made for them. Ill-fitting suits and pant hems falling down at the altar don’t need to happen.
Put your groom’s party in the hands of professionals who know the ins and outs of creating the perfect customized suit. Made-to-order suits make sure everyone looks sharp and dressed to impress. Even the most casual wedding can benefit from the work of a customized suit vendor.

Tip for picking your Napa wedding dress
A wedding in Napa has a specific vibe and that vibe is not Gone With the Wind. The bride’s dress and those of her party should be kept close to the body and sleek, not just for style but for transport.
Extravaganzas of puffy tulle are unwieldy and difficult to pack, so choose a dress with classic lines and bridesmaid’s dresses that tell the same story. Everything will be so much easier to pack if you keep the puffiness to a minimum.

Napa wedding weekend looks
A wedding in Napa is not complete without wine tasting and you’ll definitely be spending some time enjoying the local tastes. So, pack clothing that looks great, while embracing you with soft comfort.
Choose travel-happy luxury wear in tactile fabrics that caress. When working on your Napa wedding weekend look, think stylish yet laid back such as high-end soft hoodies, pants, shorts, leggings, and youthfully cut shirts. Look like a local in California casual style while you’re out there enjoying Napa!

Don’t forget about groomsmen's shoes
Make sure the groom’s party has their wedding shoes squared away early. The best way to do this is to order them, and then have one person responsible for bringing them to the destination.
Avoid the horror of a pair of tattered tennis shoes destroying the wedding vibe! Order your groomsmen’s footwear early, appointing a trusted shoe wrangler to get them to your wedding in Napa. Then, all you need to do is distribute them on the big day!
