No more boring grooms!
2026 groom style is less about following tradition and more about refining presence — tailored fits, quiet confidence, and details that feel personal instead of performative 🕊️

A destination wedding feels most meaningful when the place becomes part of the story — and planner @lupitatiradowp brought that idea to life beautifully for this celebration in Oaxaca.
Set against the rich cultural backdrop of Oaxaca City, Lupita’s vision blended modern Mexican design, Oaxacan heritage, local artistry, and thoughtful guest experience — from the Ethnobotanical Garden setting to a traditional Calenda, mezcal tasting, handwoven lamps, artisan ceramics, and a reception layered with texture and meaning.
A few of our favorite planner takeaways from Lupita’s design:
- Choose a destination with built-in guest experience.
- Let the venue do some of the design work.
- Build the design from the location, not a generic theme.

Summer 2026 is feeling a little sweeter, a little brighter, and a lot more playful.
Think Lilac and Garden Green, Cotton Candy, Cabbage, Lemon, Bubble Gum, Tangerine and Cerulean colors that feel fresh, unexpected, and just a bit nostalgic.
We’re seeing palettes that mix soft pastels with punchy citrus, grounded by greens that keep everything feeling elevated not overly saccharine.
It’s less about matching and more about mood, layered, personal, and a little bit joyful.
Which combo are you saving first 🍋🌸✨
@jacquemus brought his grandmother Liline to the Met Gala, and suddenly we’re thinking about every mother and grandmother of the groom who deserves her own fashion moment. Matching in crisp white, carrying the kind of elegance that can’t be styled overnight, they made the case for family as the ultimate muse.
Madonna at the 2026 Met Gala: a surrealist bride for the fashion-as-art age. In Saint Laurent, with a ship-shaped headpiece and attendants carrying her sweeping veil-like cape, the look felt less like an arrival and more like a procession. ✨
The strongest looks of the 2026 Met Gala didn’t simply follow the theme…they expanded it. Sculptural, surreal, romantic, and exacting, they turned the carpet into a study in form, fantasy, and self-expression. From Beyoncé and Nicole Kidman to Venus Williams, Rihanna, and Margot Robbie, these were the looks that understood fashion not as decoration, but as composition.

NYC is for lovers 💘 Every corner feels like a movie scene, every crosswalk holds a quiet moment, and even the busiest streets slow down just enough for something real. Captured by @rachelartimephoto , this is the kind of joy that turns an ordinary afternoon into something unforgettable.
