The vibes were vibing hard with these fun publications featuring Friar Tux. First, this WestWynd Farm to Table Sustainable Wedding on Magnolia Rouge. This wedding feature was filled with dreamy organic details, romantic views, and chic styling – with the groom in a Gold Velvet Shawl Lapel Tuxedo. The next publication on California Wedding Day was about This Season’s Most Delicate Colors Inspire Three Styled Wedding Designs. Friar Tux was featured three times in timeless and elegant wedding designs with the grooms wearing black tuxedos from the Michael Kors Performance Tuxedo Collection to keep with the classic feels. Lastly, Friar Tux was featured on Santa Barbara Wedding for the Summer Soiree events hosted by Santa Barbara Wedding Style. Where vendors showed off their amazing work and a groom model donned a Tan Notch Lapel Suit to complement the design and venue.
