*Photos by John Larkin Photography Crista and Lauren met through a mutual friend at Smith College. They first spotted each other in the BBQ line during lunch and haven’t been able to get enough of each other ever since! Crista proposed to Lauren in the Versailles Gardens in Paris, France. They had their engagement shoot(…)
The million dollar question: What should I wear to a wedding? We get it all the time from brides and grooms to be, wedding party participants, and wedding guests. As I mentioned in “Queering Your Wedding Wardrobe,” the good news is that there has been a trend in menswear toward more casual, creative wedding attire,(…)
Here at dapperQ, we get hundreds of reader inquiries regarding wedding attire. While it’s easy for us to write about options, I personally prefer to give you real world visual examples of what other dapperQs are wearing to weddings. In my research, I came across a site that has quickly become by “go-to” referral source(…)
I was perusing my new favorite wedding site, A Bicycle Built for Two, which provides “real wedding inspiration for lesbians, queers, and everyone else,” when I came across the engagement photos of Ashley and Leanne. I nearly fell off my chair because: The images were so stunning; Becky, an Ohio based photographer, did an impeccable(…)
Something I’ve noticed about my sweetheart (pictured below) is she has worn a different dress to every wedding we’ve attended together, and something I’ve noticed about myself is I’ve worn the same suit to every wedding we’ve attended together. Most folks own one suit (unless the garment gods have blessed them with many suits), so(…)
Oh Facebook. Just when I think I’m about to deactivate my account, I see something incredibly dapperQ that draws me back in. Take for instance the wedding photos of Amber and Katherine Abbott I recently stumbled upon. My fiancé’s best friend had gone to their wedding in Sac Town, was tagged in a Facebook wedding(…)
Feature Image by Levi Stolove The Saturday of Memorial Day weekend unofficially marks the opening of wedding season, which lasts until September or October (debatable), with June being the “peak” month. Some of our readers and dapperQ staff, especially our contributor Titus Androgynous, feel like this inside about wedding season… BUT, the majority of our(…)
Our call for MapperQ posts has seen a powerful response. We already have enough D.C. recommendations to map out a shopping marathon. First, Calley got in touch and shared not one, but three great places to shop for dapper suits. Dapper, darling suits at Dash’s Upscale menswear shop with super-high quality italian suiting, got a(…)
Wedding season is once again upon us and invitations to the joyous occasions are flooding the postal system. I used to dread weddings. I liked the party and seeing family or friends. I enjoyed the food, the drinks, the dancing and generally sharing in the couple’s joy. Heck, I even surprised myself by crying at(…)
Memorial Day weekend heralds the advent of summer and, with it, a slew of oh-so-superbly gay weddings. Inspiration for those planning an outdoor ceremony can be found in the example of Shavon Gaddy-Dalrymple, 30, who wed Jory Dalrymple, 34, last Memorial Day weekend at Incarnation Camp in Deep River, CT. Shavon carried in to the ceremony an(…)
