How good did all the guys look in their Tom Ford tuxes at the Oscars? Gorgeously tailored, impeccably finished and luxe to the nth degree. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford the big bucks that come with a bespoke suit, including most guys on their wedding day. Unless, of course, they turn to Inditailored custom dress shirts. The online retailer offers the full sartorial treatment allowing your fiancé to choose the fit, colour, cuffs (French, 2 button barrel) and collar. Prices range from $90-$150 and there's even an option to monogram. All he has to do is plug in his measurements and he's got a custom shirt that will leave him feeling just dandy and won't make a dent to his wallet. Now that's tops!

Yes, yes, yes bridal designers Vera Wang and Monique Lhuillier are perennial faves but sometimes a bride wants to set her big day look apart. For those rare birds, may we introduce you to Anne Bowen's wedding gown collection. The New York-based designer crafts both classic and modern stunners and is a favourite of a coterie of A-listers like Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz. The asymmetrical open back style is particularly fetching and will tempt beach loving brides. The best part? Bowen's bridal collection is now available in Canada so book a time at her trunk show in Toronto this weekend.
Anne Bowen Bridal Trunk show at White Toronto, March 12th & 13th. Call 416-849-9196 to book an appointment.

Great news! Urban Outfitters Inc. — that purveyor of all things hipster chic — has decided to enter the bridal biz. The soon-to-be-launched e-commerce site will live under its Anthropologie label and will feature everything from gowns and accessories to a bridal registry for all your gifts. Wedding dresses will range from $1,000 to $5,000 and are said to have an "heirloom" sensibility about them. We think this is a fabulously affordable alternative to J.Crew's more preppy looks and can't wait to see what they dream up.

Congratulations go out to Coco Rocha and her long time boyfriend James Conran on their engagement.
The Canadian super-strutter made the announcement on her Oh So Coco site yesterday saying "I don't think I've ever been so happy
as I am right now. I can't wait to start the rest of my life with him."
Now the big question remains: will she don a custom JPG frock or a design of her own? Tell us what you think she should wear!
