2024 Stylist Cover! Elevated Cottagecore Gold

Venue: The Concord’s Nest Ranch
Photography + Design: Miranda Rose Photography
Groom Style: Tan Notch Lapel Suit with a dusty sage long tie

Hello everyone!  It is with great excitement and pride that we unveil the amazing wedding photoshoot that inspired the cover of Friar Tux's 50th-anniversary edition of the Stylist Magazine. As a beacon of timeless elegance and unparalleled style, Friar Tux has been at the forefront of the formalwear industry for half a century, setting the standard for sartorial excellence. This milestone edition of Stylist Magazine celebrates not only the rich history and enduring legacy of Friar Tux but also showcases the latest trends and innovations in formal fashion.

This wedding inspo photographed and designed by the uber talented Miranda Rose Photography, took our breath away when we first saw it. We immediately knew it would be the perfect cover for our golden anniversary edition of the Stylist.  Located at The Concord’s Nest Ranch in San Diego, it is a stunning backdrop for any style of I-do’s.  The ceremony space was nestled against tall oak trees, a glowing arch of golden-toned florals created an almost-halo effect around the couple.  We love the use of benches instead of the traditional chairs for a more cozy-casual feel.

The reception space was decorated with an elevated-boho look on wooden tables with a dusty blush runner running along the middle.  Woven charger plates added some fun décor to the moment.  We are personally obsessed with the candle lights adorning the tabletops to give off the most magical glow into the night.

The bride wore a stunning modern white ballgown with a high neckline, long sleeves, and a keyhole back detail.  Her look is elevated and glamourous, while still keeping simple and chic just like the rest of the wedding.  We love her use of accessories to take her look to another level – a long cathedral veil and a fun top hat (which made our Parent Trap loving hearts swoon).  The groom kept with the neutral-whimsical feel of the wedding by wearing a Tan Notch Lapel Suit. We wanted to add a small pop of color, so we paired his look with a dusty sage matte tie and a white and black polka dot pocket square.
