Preppy Wedding Centerpieces
The classic good looks of preppy style are a perennial favorite with brides. You can't go wrong with the charming colors and lines that characterize this timeless lifestyle. These are some great ideas for preppy centerpieces for your wedding reception.
When you think of preppy style, the first thing that comes to mind is pink and green. This is definitely an excellent option for the colors of your centerpieces. The pink and green can be the foundation of your flower choices, or you can use it for the vessels. Or maybe even both! There are many wonderful flowers available in shades of pink and green. Probably the preppiest combination would be green hydrangeas with pink peonies or garden roses. Another excellent option is pink ranunculus, which can even be found with a greenish center. It is a papery looking flower that combines marvelously with favorites like roses and peonies, or can also stand alone. For a more elaborate centerpiece, ask your florist about wiring a pearl into the center of some of the flowers to coordinate with your bridal jewelry.
Preppy Ties
Clever ideas for pink and green centerpiece vessels abound. You could do something as simple as tying a striped grosgrain ribbon around a cylindrical vase for an instant dash of preppy flair. For a more elegant wedding, seek out vases with a pink and green toile print (sometimes you find this design done on a galvanized bucket, which is an incredible combination of fancy and laid-back). Another idea would be to alternate pink vases and green vases filled to the brim with white flowers like roses or sweetpeas.

Certainly, every preppy woman adores the iconic look of the silver mint julep cup, and this would make a wonderful addition to a wedding centerpiece. There is just something so timeless about a bride in a white gown with pearl bridal jewelry that is perfect with the little silver cups. Instead of having one large centerpiece, place a mint julep cup at each place setting filled with wide open garden roses or peonies in shades of pink and white. To fill the middle of the table, think about a hurricane lantern with a large ivory pillar candle, or even a tiered stand of desserts. The hurricane lanterns are especially nice for outdoor weddings.
Another fantastic idea for preppy centerpieces is to arrange your flowers in monogrammed vessels. There are several ways in which this could be done. For a more subtle effect, tall glass vases with a wide mouth can be etched with a scrip monogram or initial. Fill with your favorite pink and green flowers. For a shabby chic beach wedding, what about handpainting beautiful tin pails with your monogram in a graceful design? It always looks great to add your own personal touch to store bought accessories.
Pink and green are not the only option for a preppy wedding centerpiece. The classic combination of Kelly green and navy could be a fun way to dress up your reception tables. Start with bouquets of white flowers, and place them in vases done in the green and navy palette. You can find beautiful handblown glass pieces that combine your favorite colors, especially if you are having a small wedding and only need a handful of vases. Or for an all-out preppy look, paint simple containers in diagonal Kelly green and navy stripes to look like a classic mens' tie. It would be a fresh and interesting addition to any preppy wedding, and would be a great way to showcase your style.

Custom Ties For Your Wedding
Everyone wants their weddings to be customized just for them. Often much attention is paid to the bride, her bridesmaids, and the reception, but the men are overlooked. A great way to give your wedding a great look is to have the groom and his attendants wear custom ties.
Custom ties can be either straight ties or bow ties. Bow ties are often considered to be more formal, but when they are done in a print and paired with a navy blazer, they can also be very preppy. Straight ties tend to look more modern and "city" than the more classic or old-school bow tie.
Preppy Ties
There are many great options for custom ties for your wedding. One bride I knew ordered extra fabric from her wedding gown, which was a gorgeous ivory silk piqué. She then had custom bow ties made for all of the men in the wedding party to wear. It was extremely elegant. If your gown designer does not permit you to order yardage, you can often order extra length on the bottom of the dress which can be hemmed off and used to make custom bow ties.

Another place that you could find your inspiration is in your family tartan. If you are of Scottish descent but do not want to go the kilt route for your wedding, you can still show your pride in your heritage. Custom tartan ties or bow ties will add a nice dash of Scottish flair to your wedding, whether your tartan is MacGregor, Blackwatch, or any of the other numerous varieties. A matching tartan sash, by the way, makes a great finishing touch for the bride.
Many brides and grooms met in college, so it is only natural that you might want to pay tribute to your alma mater during your wedding. In fact, you may need only to place a special order to get ties or sets of ties and cummberbunds featuring the colors and logo of your college or university. This is an especially great idea if most of your groomsmen were your fraternity brothers.
Speaking of clubs, it is also possible to order custom ties made with the logo and colors of your private yacht club, country club, or tennis club. This would be an appropriate choice if you are having the wedding at your club; again it would be even better if most of your groomsmen have an affiliation as well. There are companies that will make almost any type of custom tie for you. Two of them include Beaux Ties, out of Vermont, and Vineyard Vines, which is also known for its fun preppy ties.
Often the bride wants to find a way to make the groomsmen coordinate with her bridesmaids. One easy way to do this is to order extra yardage (or if need be an extra dress) to have ties custom made in the same fabric as the bridesmaid dresses. If the bridesmaids are wearing a basic color like red, it wouldn't be worth it to go to the additional expense and effort when you can find a close enough match in a readymade tie; this idea is perfect, however, when your bridesmaids are wearing a dress in a distinctive color or print.
Custom ties make great groomsmen gifts as well. In the cases where you have the ties made with a logo from a college or club that you share in common, the men will especially enjoy the gift. To make your groomsmen gifts even more special, include a set of monogrammed silver cufflinks for the perfect finishing touch. You will add style to your attendants, and a great custom flair to your wedding.

Fashion Generation Gap
People make efforts to improve their standing in the community by wearing designer names. Clothing inspiration can come from a variety of sources. There are many times where I have seen a youngster wear something more grown up because it has been inspired by a tv personality. Like the hype created during Wimbledon fortnight, when every youngster has the ambition to be the next champion player so they put on the tennis whites
Magazine images influence people, for example, when Kanye West dressed in vintage preppy wear, we want to emulate him, by purchasing designer checked shirts, preppy jacket, and skinny tie. The music culture has had a huge influence on fashion.
Preppy Ties
The theory should apply to the fashion designs on the catwalks, as the styles are so unique but often too inaccessible. The designs often provoke discussion and debate, and contrary to the music world, the styles of singers is far more relevant than catwalk models rarely who are seen as fashion idols. Designers are credited with their creations though rarely in magazine centrefolds.

Looking on television we can see many people getting into the habit of wearing the clothing worn by celebrities, it is interesting that these styles are influencing younger fashion followers. Idolising a tv personality is easier now as online retail websites provide like for like clothing and give back some vintage to street styles. Some clothing labels have maintained a particular fashion look throughout the years dependent on the look coming back in fashion. They know fashions are re-ignited every ten years. Imagine in the next decade, more kids currently at school will be dressing in blazers and Hampton chinos with some brogues.
The fashion world credits preppy fashions with having started brighter colours and bolder clothing. How often do we read about a music star seen wearing a casual shirt, and preppy sweater, the magazines are keen to pinpoint the design label and thereby credit them, not the model who first wore the outfit. The re-emergence of the casual shirt and loafer shoe wearing man is an established look and but don't be fooled that Kanye West started it!

Interview Shoes - The RIGHT Styles For Men and Women
Interview attire advice often focuses on suit colors and cuts for men and whether to wear a skirt or slacks for women and the color of either. Other articles of interview attire are even more important. A case in point is shoes. For both men and women, wearing the right style and type of shoes can often serve as the most important and most visible item of interview attire.
For Men
Preppy Ties
For men there are four types of shoes that are acceptable for interviews. There are from most to least formal: the black oxford shoe, the black brogue shoe, the black tassel loafer and finally the black dress penny loafer. Each of these shoes has a distinct style and message. Regardless of which style of shoe is worn, they should be well maintained - meaning not scuffed or worn at the heel and highly polished.

The black leather oxford shoe. This is the classic tie shoe. It has either a plain to or a non-perforated cap toe. This is the dressiest of men's shoes and are popular with investment bankers, government officials and other's who must portray formality and consistency.
The black leather brogue shoe. Often described as the wing tip, this is slightly less formal than the oxford. It may be cap toed or have the wing shaped toe decoration both of which are perforated. Acceptable with suits, the brogue has been a favorite of businessmen for decades although it fell out of favor during the "casual Friday" dress down era of the 1990s.
The black leather tassel loafer. The tassel loafer has been around for decades. Once classified as Ivey League or preppy, it is now a business staple. It is a loafer with stitching around the toe and a pair of leather tassels. The shoe is not as formal as either the oxford or the brogue but is acceptable with business suits in all but the most formal and tradition bound professions.
The black leather penny loafer. This is not a casual loafer with the big "beef roll" and the rough hand stitching around the toe. The penny loafer for dress is more refined in cut and stitching. It looks like and is a dress shoe. The least formal of the business shoe styles, it is sleek and clean and works with suits for all but the most formal occasions.
What kinds of men's shoes to avoid for interviews? First, the heavy soled and big toed lace and slip-on shoes popular with younger men should be avoided. Even if they say they are dress shoes, they say all the wrong things about one. Secondly, avoid casual shoes such as weekend loafers or other very casual shoes with leather, rubber or plastics soles. Finally, avoid trendy shoes. If attracted to a pair of shoes that would look great on the dance floor at a club or at a wild party, keep them for those events. Do no wear them to an interview. Trendy is not an interview look unless you are a fashion designer or in the arts.
The right kinds of shoes are available at stores and on-line. The most popular traditional interview shoes are sold by: Church's Shoes (English design, very traditional), Alden (American and very traditional), Allen-Edmonds, Cole-Haan and Johnson & Murphy. Stores that carry the right kinds of shoes for interviews include: Brooks Brothers, Joseph A. Bank and Nordstrom.
For Women
While there are infinitely more styles of women's shoes available than men's, the styles that are appropriate for interviews are even more limited. The rules about the condition of shoes for women are the same as for men. The shoes must be in top condition and well maintained if not new. While all the colors for men included black and black, there are more possibilities fro women. While black and navy are safe bets 95% of the time. Other colors are OK but must complement the suit or outfit and should match the purse or handbag too. Avoid light colored shoes for interview and never wear white shoes to an interview unless it is for a nursing position. If brown, dark shades are best. Avoid suede and never wear shoes that have metallic sparkle, glitter or sequins for an interview (or for business ever).
The styles of shoes that are appropriate for women to wear for interviews fall into four categories: classic leather pump with a heel, the leather sling back style with a heel, the classic leather Mary Jane style shoe with a heel, the flat or ballet style shoe in leather. All should be leather. All should be well maintained and worn with neutral colored stockings or pantyhose regardless of the season or temperature (or knee highs if work with slacks).
The leather pump. Heel heights and shapes vary. This is the traditional shoe for women in business. Solid color.
The leather sling back style with a heel. Again heel heights and shapes very. This shoe while very traditional has an adjustable strap rather than a closed back. The shoe is classic and in good taste but with a bit more style and is considered a bit more dressy than the plain leather pump.
The classic leather Mary Jane shoe. This is not the flat soled cloth model or even the funky thick soled model worn by teens. It is basically a leather pump in style and cut with a thin strap ending in an adjustable buckle across the instep. Better with skirts than with slacks.
The flat or ballet style shoe in leather. This kind of shoe if made of fine leather and in a traditional cut is classic, flattering and is worn by women of all heights. But it is favored by very tall and strangely enough, very short women. It may be plain or decorated with a discrete bit of gold metal or grosgrain bow at the toe. The casual ballet slipper style in fabric, needlepoint or less dressy leather should be saved for wear with jeans or khakis.
What shoes are not appropriate for women to wear to interviews? Frankly, everything else unless the interview is not for business, non-profits or one of the professions. Anything in unnatural colors or with sparkles or anything novel just will not do. Flip flops are a no always. As are sandals. Big, clunky shoes are for teenagers or weekends. Loafers are for khakis and weekends. Tie shoes are not appropriate for women in business unless running an art gallery or a church order. Finally, strappy, very high heeled shoes should be left for weekends and never for work. Forget what they say in "Sex and the City".
Women's interview shoes are available at many women's stores, shoe stores and department stores. The list is really too long to do justice here. Some of the more traditional sources are: Cole Haan, Talbots, Nordstrom, Lord and Taylor and Brooks Brothers plus the some of the designers who offer quality shoes in more classic styles.
Shoes speak volumes about a person. This is never truer than in an interview environment. Make sure the shoes that you wear say all the right things. While they will not guarantee a job, the will not be an obstacle if the points outlined above are observed.
Interview Shoes - The RIGHT Styles For Men and WomenPreppy Boho: A Dual Look that Caters to Two Conflicting Tastes
Are you a good girl with a dreamy, mysterious side and a love for art and music? Do you have the need to fit in but stand out? If you're like many women, you have a fragmented personality with conflicting ideas and tastes. But don't let this prevent you from forming a signature style! One of the most popular looks that's equally stylish and rebellious is called Preppy Boho; it combines elements from upper-crust Old Money fashion and flower child spiritedness and spontaneity. Here are some ways in which you can achieve this enviously chic combination with finesse:
*Splurge on scarves!
Preppy Ties
Nothing pumps some flower power into an outfit like a scarf. Wear it in your hair like a headband or tie it over your scrunchie. Wrap it around your neck for a more poetic look or use it as a belt. Consider buying scarves with quaint Vintage designs in pastel or jewel-like colors, or buy bright ones. Paisley and floral designs are most flattering, but experiment with other patterns too if you wish. Solid-colored scarves work great with patterned blouses.
Preppy Boho: A Dual Look that Caters to Two Conflicting Tastes
*Stock up on polo shirts in earth tones and rich wines.
Polo shirts are the ultimate preppy staple, but the trademark Boho color scheme tones down the country club air. Search for polos in beige, burgundy, camel, forest green, burnt orange, brick red, mustard yellow, pale gray, violet, pine green, magenta, and fuchsia. Pair your polo with a pair of distressed jeans, cute leather sandals, a paisley scarf in your hair, and a subtle pearl necklace.
*Look for pretty bangles in feminine colors that you can stack on your arms when wearing short-sleeved or sleeves tops.
The more bangles, the better, but balance your outfit out with minimal jewelry everywhere else. Try wearing a bunch of bangles with a ¾ sleeve blouse, a plain plaid skirt, girlish Mary Janes, and colorful tights or a funky headband.
*Buy the best tiered prairie skirts in soft cottons or luxurious velvet.
Pair shorter ones with polos or cashmere sweaters, and longer ones with dreamy camisoles. Try a lacy camisole with a skirt that falls mid-calf, pearl earrings, a pearl necklace, and discreet metallic-colored sandals in gold or silver. Top it off with a scarf or headband.
*Find chic sunglasses in round John Lennon styles or glamorous aviator cuts.
For extra shine, consider applying tiny rhinestones to the sides. Sunglasses can be worn over your eyes (as expected!), or just up on top of your hair for a vacation in Malibu look. Try a polo with a patterned prairie skirt, cute sandals, a couple of bangles on each wrist, and a pair of sunglasses.
*Shop for loud earrings---they punch up any outfit.
You can buy large Gypsy hoops in metallics---silver, gold, copper---or wood, either plain-colored or dyed. Also look for chandelier earrings with encrusted gems or bunches of beads.
*Clogs are Boho staples, but they can be preppied up depending on the shape and material.
High-heels clogs with encrusted gems or intricate beading are perfect for nights out, while plain leather clogs are great for casual days. Look for clogs made of denim or with velour shells for a more unique design. Try pairing clogs with jeans, a polo, a scarf used as a belt, sunglasses, and chandelier earrings.
The Preppy Boho look allows you to remain faithful to the classics in your wardrobe while expressing your more romantic side. If you have a slight preference for one look over the other, then shop for the right details to accentuate that side of your personality.

Men's Ties - Casual to Classic
Men's ties evolve with the dynamic fashion trends. In the past, men wore long ties with broader ends. It was soon outdated and was modishly replaced by the thinner and shorter ones. Technology also plays a vital role in the men's ties trends. There are now quite a number of designs, thousands of colors and prints, various styles to choose from, that men simply have to think of a design they want and it is easily available.
A lot of men take very careful considerations when choosing a tie, just like how a woman would choose her jewelries and accessories. Men's ties may just be a strip of cloth for some, but many men consider it just like a badge of their taste. So they are very careful in their choices of size, shape, color and the material of the tie. Most men find it acceptable to wear their ties just above their waistline, and the shape should not be too broad or too thin. But most recently, thin men's ties are gaining back its popularity in the fashion industry, where celebrities and politicians are mostly seen wearing thin ties.
Preppy Ties
This kind of men's ties is called skinny ties and are mostly used in a casual manner, or if used in a formal event, worn very conservatively. Most lean men prefer wearing skinny ties because it gives them a more streamlined look. Preppy and college boys also prefer wearing thin men's ties, and most of them wear this kind of ties to parties and events, often with different designs and patterns. The best selling color of any kind of tie, more so with skinny ties, is black. Of course being the most classic and versatile color, it can easily be matched to any suit or attire combination.
Men's Ties - Casual to Classic
There are also men's ties with embedded designs, monograms and regimental colors. These are popular in schools and country clubs. They are a bit wider at the bottom and sometimes resplendent with a variety of colors. If you are looking for the right preppy tie for you, then there are numerous websites that offer catalogues where you can choose your preferences from. These websites allow you to mix and match, and compare ties until you find what you're looking for.
When shopping for men's ties, it is important to choose the best materials available to you. Silk is the most preferred by many, and also Irish Poplin. These fabrics are really durable, and if cost is not an issue, then it is highly recommended to choose these materials to bring out your excellent taste.
The first thing of course to put in mind when choosing men's ties is when and where and with what are you going to wear it. Your tie is the main accent of your attire, and should reflect your personality and your taste. You can choose to be unique and eclectic; you can also choose to be simple and safe. No matter what your choices are, though, always remember your tie says a lot of things about you.
