This wedding season is all about mixing modern style with timeless charm—and Friar Tux is here for it. Kicking things off, Friar Tux recently graced the cover of Temecula Lifestyle Magazine with a romantic wedding editorial full of elevated inspiration. Next up was a stunning feature in California Wedding Day, where modern and classic details came together flawlessly at The Charleston. The groom wore a sleek Black Peak Lapel Tuxedo from the Michael Kors Performance Collection, proving just how timeless a classic tuxedo can be. That same dapper style appeared again in a dreamy Carats & Cake moment, where ultra-regency met modern minimalism in a truly romantic scene. Finally, Loverly featured a modern summer styled shoot at Monserate Winery, showcasing how to merge classic elements with seasonal charm. The groom wore Friar Tux’s Brown Notch Lapel Suit, which popped beautifully against the rustic winery backdrop.
