Thoughts on Groom’s Attire - To Tuxedo or Not To Tuxedo….
It really is easy, the more formal the wedding in time and location, the more formal the attire to be worn.
We tend to a bit of bending the rules to suit the comfort level and desires of the bride and groom. The time of your ceremony does not necessarily have to dictate the attire.

The definition of an “agent provocateur” is a person employed by the police to work undercover and provoke another person to commit an illicit act. How cheeky! Knowing this, what a wonderfully unique and thought-provoking moniker it is for a lingerie line. Pink Galoshes is not implying that the wearing of this lingerie will result in illegal activities, but it is still part of the thrill and allure of it. The hidden beauty of what is underneath, that is all that matters.
Sensuality redefined. This renowned UK lingerie shop has made quite a splash in the United States. Founded by Joseph Corre and Serena Rees, Agent Provocateur hoped to introduce a line of lingerie that avoided the rational British prudery that deems anything sexy as sleazy. With this goal in mind, a high-quality line able to enchant wearers and their partners was born. From sophisticated lace bras to
