Brackish Bow Tie: The Perfect Bow Tie

A bow tie is a bow tie right? Usually…unless it’s a Brackish bow tie. Then it’s a work of art, a piece of natural beauty, and part of an entrepreneurial story that began with a wedding.

As my own entrepreneurial journey was sparked by my wedding (well the name-change nightmare right afterwards) I had to share this amazing company with you, right in time for the holiday giving season.

Ben Ross was the groom who wouldn’t settle for a traditional groomsmen gift. He wanted something special and couldn’t find just the right gifts, so he made them. Literally…he handmade turkey feather bow ties for the guys who stood up with him at his wedding. They were gorgeous and unique.

Five years later, Ben and one of those groomsmen started Brackish and now make a line of hand-crafted feather bow ties. The operation has expanded to 50 artisans in South Carolina and the collection is stunning. So, if the man in your life wears bow ties (or you think he needs a statement piece for your wedding or work), I highly recommend a bow tie from Brackish.

Happy shopping nearlyweds and newlyweds!

A Men’s Website For Wedding Planning and Beyond..

Isn’t it about time for a men’s website for wedding planning? Weddings are and forever will be identified as “the bride’s big day.” And why shouldn’t they be? Most women have been dreaming of putting on the white dress, walking down the aisle and having that first kiss since they were little girls. However, while we can’t say that men fantasize about the big day nearly as much, they do care. A lot.

Two years ago, two brothers and their soon-to-be brother in law asked themselves an important question: why isn’t there a comprehensive online wedding planning resource for guys? Surely there was a need for this type of resource as most men don’t know the first thing about wedding planning.

That idea ultimately became TheManRegistry.com
What can grooms (and brides) do at TheManRegistry.com?
1. Supplement their standard wedding registries with gifts from a groom registry complete with over 3,000 unique man-gifts.
2. Shop the web’s top groomsmen gifts shop for ideas on how to say “thanks” to the Best Man and groomsmen.
3. Research local wedding guides, how-to articles and read a groom blog with daily tips and ideas on how to get the most out of the wedding planning experience.

Even if you’re a newlywed, The Man Registry has something for you. You can create a gift registry for your birthday, Christmas or even Father’s Day. Or, if you’ve got a guy to shop for, The Man Registry has ideas on gifts for every type of guy.

What are your thoughts on a men’s website for wedding planning? Is it smart, necessary, or not so much? We’d love to hear from you in a comment.
