| Dressing in style |
|
| When a bride tries on the right dress she should feel confident, beautiful, elegant and, most of all, extraordinarily happy. |

| Accessories are important personal touches. But beware: They can make or break the dress. The right accent – drop earrings, perhaps, or beaded mules – will only enhance a lovely bridal gown. But too much accessorizing can ruin the image. |

| Today’s brides and grooms are making some unusual choices when it comes to their wedding parties: Asking the people who are closest to them to be in their wedding often means calling on friends of the opposite sex. Some brides eschew tradition to name a close male friend as a “bridesmaid” or “maid of honor”. |
| You can bet these fellows are not wearing gowns in any shape or form, but rather boutonnieres to match the color of the female bridesmaids’ dresses. Some couples do away with the bridal party altogether, asking family and close friends to participate in the ceremony instead. |
| The bottom line is that a wedding is an occasion for closeness and warmth. Choosing the people who mean the most to you is more important than selecting those who are the right gender. As for the Goldman, Sachs investment banker who walked down the aisle to the altar with his dog? These days, it seems, man’s best friend can also be man’s best man. |
