I highly recommend GROOMS: A Professional Stylist"s Guide to Wedding Day Apparel for Every Budget. Donnell teaches the reader how to first identify their signature style, then goes on to teach the reader how to coordinate their wedding day attire by providing tips, tricks and do"s and don ts that the reader can reference for years to come. I especially love the tone of the book. It reads as if you are receiving style advice from a wise and transparent friend who also knows how to give it straight. GROOMS: A Professional Stylist"s Guide to Wedding Day Apparel for Every Budget is a fully illustrative, informative and necessary guide for the man on the way down the aisle. --Juliette McKay, EIC for The Coordinated Bride Wedding Blog

About the Author

Courtney and Donnell Baldwin are a married couple living in Midtown Manhattan. Following their wedding in 2012, both became interested in wardrobe styling for grooms after realizing the lack of attention to detail in the planning and execution of grooms wedding day attire. Mixing Donnell"s fifteen-year career in the fashion industry (primarily with Ralph Lauren and as a menswear stylist and styling editor) with Courtney"s fourteen-year experience as an engineer and owner"s representative in the construction industry, Mr. Baldwin Style was born. As a New York City based company, Mr. Baldwin Style focuses on wardrobe styling and image consulting for the modern groom and gentleman, as well as photo shoot production. Understanding that groom stylist is a new term and service, Courtney and Donnell penned GROOMS to provide soon-to-be-married couples with expert advice on grooms apparel from planning to flawless execution.
