I have to thank my friend Hans Gehrke from Chicago for his idea for this post.  He told me about this great site and product.  I just HAD to share.  These collegiate ties from Vineyard Vines www.vineyardvines.com  are just the right gift for the new student, the devoted alum or the sports fan.. Look no further!  These ties will make a huge statement as your favorite guy steps out.  What a win for you, the shopper, and for the lucky guy on your gift list!

Consider the college themed wedding too.  Wouldn’t it be great for the groomsmen to wear these and/or give them as a groomsmen’s gift?  The possibilities endless.

My assistant Kathleen, just discovered these great garters for a patriotic themed wedding.  They are created by Julianne Smith and have been seen on WE TV, The Today Show, Martha Stewart, Southern Weddings and more!

These could create a lot of fun and action for your Fourth of July or Patriotic themed wedding.  They are ready for delivery and begin at $42 each.  Go to http://www.etsy.com/shop/thegartergirl for more info.  If the Fourth isn’t your theme, there are lots of others to select from.

Happy Fourth, Kim
