We love stories of brides and grooms discovering new passions in the course of their wedding planning. We really really love those stories when they lead to impeccable, locally-made accessories that will bring an instant dose of style and personality to any wardrobe. When those accessories will also help your groom and groomsmen look worthy of a magazine editorial on your wedding day? … well, we are pretty much over the moon.
It’s for these reasons and many more that we think you should get to know Gold Coast Goods, a California company founded by mother/daughter duo Jan Kearns and Samantha Baker. Sam, a wardrobe stylist, and her mother Jan, a skilled seamstress, originally pooled their talents to create custom ties teeming with style for Sam’s wedding. Luckily for us, they decided to keep making ties after Sam and her wife said “I do!”
Gold Coast Goods’ ties, bowties, pocket squares and neckerchiefs are all designed and made in California and are deeply influenced by the state’s landscape and history. Expect beautiful craftsmanship, creative use of texture and pattern, an assortment of colors found in nature, and, of course, exquisite styling. Whether your wedding style is Rustic Americana, Black-tie Bohemian, or Modern Urban, Gold Coast Goods is here to insure that your wedding party is anything but cookie-cutter. And, if your wedding is all things bespoke, not to worry: Sam and Jan are pros at tailoring custom looks that bring your vision to life. You can even personalize ties with a monogram or your wedding date.
Here are some of our top tips to have your groom and groomsmen looking Gold Coast Good on your wedding day:
Play with Pattern
Whether floral, plaid, striped, or dotted, patterned neckwear is an unexpected and potent jolt of style. Embracing pattern adds a new textural element to your wedding party’s attire, which will have your groom and groomsmen looking like they were styled by a pro.
Keep Things in Context
What textures and colors are you already working with in your venue, flowers, and other decor? For your wedding day to feel cohesive, be sure to infuse these different aspects with complementary colors and textures. Don’t make design choices in a vacuum!
Dare to be Different
Mismatched bridesmaids dresses are a major trend right now, so why not extend that aesthetic to your groomsmen? By choosing a unifying element like color, your groom and groomsmen can safely mix patterns and styles to achieve a more personalized look.
