Whether you’re newly engaged or weeks away from your Big Day, there’s a lot to be thankful for this November (besides finding your dream man, of course). From Black Friday sales to fabulous trunk shows and specials, there’s so much going on for brides and couples, we’ve got enough events to fill two Bridal Buzzes. Here’s part one; look for part two next Monday.

Throughout November

Gentlemen, stand out on your Big Day in G. Alexander’s “007 Tux,” now available for sale at Charleston Tuxedo. Order the tux before November 1 to score 15 percent off; order it before December 1 to receive a 10 percent discount. Also, if you’re stumped on what to wear for the upcoming holiday parties, showers, or maybe even your rehearsal dinner, look no further than Barry Beaux’s holiday print bow ties—arriving in store this month.
