The Band

after searching and searching, i finally found the perfect band for the wedding! it was really important to ken and i to have a band that we loved, considering how much music plays an important role in both our lives. it seemed every band we contacted was either too tacky, too expensive, or just not our style. We really wanted a particular kind of jazz that was popular in the early 1900's, a type of music that we have both bonded over. At last, we found this: http://www.nightbloomingjazzmen.com/. Totally affordable, totally adorable. I cannot wait to hear them live.

“The majority of men who wear bow ties do so because the majority of men do not.”

Isn't that a great quote? I am still trying to get Ken to wear a bow tie. There are so many amazing ones out there at places like j.crew, american apparel, and urban outfitters. (I would get 40% with my employee discount!) Even etsy has some really interest, vintage bow ties that would be a great fashion statement at the wedding. Mom and I might just resort to trying to make our own. At luminaclothing.com, they will custom amake bow-ties for you, which is something to consider. There are also some great ones at brooks brothers and ben silver. Maybe we can still get some for all the little boys.
