Wedding Tip Tuesday: Pocket Squares {Houston Wedding Photographer}

This summer is just whizzing by isn’t it?  I am so very behind on my Wedding Tip Tuesdays – so today I’m going to roll out a few. There’s so much going on behind the scenes that I get dizzy just thinking about it. But in the coming weeks my blogging will increase and there will be so much eye candy that you can’t stand it! Promise!

I think at each wedding I’ve been to – I’ve seen the pocket square stuffed and folded in every which way imaginable. It’s pretty funny seeing a group of grown men coaching themselves on how to fold the pocket square. It’s a competition to see who does it better. It always amazes me that in the run up to the wedding, people forget about the guys and leave them in the wilderness that is pinning the boutonniere and folding pocket squares. Between the nervous laughs, the “are you readys” and the ahem, obligatory shot – these guys are trying to carefully do an oragami crane with the pocket square. But as always Martha Stewart comes the the rescue. Here’s a picture diagram of just how to go about it. She even boldly suggests forgoing flowers on the lapel all together if you opt for a fancy print or silk fabric pocketsquare that coordinates with your wedding. As always, read more on her fabulous tips on marthastewartweddings.com.

evie - Oooh! I love this tip! This is bad, I know, but I have never even thought about how to fold something like this. It would have ended up just stuffed in the pocket. LOL
