KEEPING THE PANTS ON...AND UP

Head out of the gutter, hive! We're talking suspenders here.

I know, not as exciting. I wasn't excited either...until I saw pictures like these:

(these guys crack me up.)

(love the shade and suspender combo!)

Having our groomsmen sport suspenders wasn't my idea. Mr. Latte must've been feeling left out and neglected while listening to me go on and on about the bridesmaids' dresses, shoes and hair accessories. After reading Miss Peep Toe and Miss Stiletto's cute Chuck ideas, I was going to suggest doing something similar when he busted out with this suspender idea. Brilliant!

We decided that he would wear dark pink suspenders and the groomsmen would wear them in light pink. Our ring boys will also get in on the fun, and we're thinking of having them wear dark pink like Mr. Latte's or maybe even moss green or chocolate brown to round out our wedding colors.

We're also going to get each person a matching pair of colored socks for fun pictures like these:

(love the argyle look!)

(how FUN does this look???)

You won't believe how difficult it's been to find pink men's suspenders! I've searched high and low in stores (department stores, men's specialty stores, TJ Maxx, Marshall's) and online with little success. :(

Anyone else fancying up the groomsmen with suspenders and/or colored socks? Any suggestions on where to go suspender-shopping?
