Alyne... who is the face

designer from Canada who established herself as one of the world's most iconic luxury bridal brands.

behind the brand?

We recently had the opportunity to sit down with the highly acclaimed bridal gown designer behind brands like RIVINI and ALYNE, Rita Vinieris. Her gowns are gorgeous and we loved learning more about her...

Did you always know you wanted to be a fashion designer? Tell us your story...

"Oh, where do I begin! I didn’t always know I wanted to be in fashion. I had so many varied interests. From a young age I loved drawing, as my dad was a great artist and taught me how to draw amazing landscapes, buildings, horses, boats, portraits etc. My parents worked shift work, so my mornings were spent with my dad doing art and evenings were spent with my mom who was a seamstress who would sew things for the house, and I would help her in any way I could. She would show me how to do embroideries on her Singer machine and I would practice and embellish any reminisce I could get my hands on. Through high school I was encouraged, or should I say, I was directed by my parents to take only subjects that could lead me to professions such as doctor, lawyer, dentist, accountant. Sadly, I parted with the arts and focused on all the maths, sciences and computer studies. The thought of becoming an aerospace engineer or an architect intrigued me as it combined the science with design. The architecture dept was not accepting new applicants due to a saturation in the field the year I was applying to

universities, and aerospace engineering was too costly as I would have had to complete an engineering undergrad degree before specializing in aerospace. So, I thought fashion school was the way to go. When I brought up the idea of going into fashion to my parents, they strongly disagreed with it and could not understand how I could throw away my math and science grades. My father once again directed and persuaded me into studying business. A major in Economic at the University of Toronto was what followed, which I found quite boring. The only excitement was my calculus and computer programming courses.

Fashion design studies followed at the International Academy of Design, which was incredibly disappointing to my parents.

Needless to say, everything worked out and I couldn’t be happier with my choice to pursue fashion design." ****************************************** "My passion and love for designing will be with me till the end and it doesn’t stop once I leave work. This passion guides me in everything I do. I wish I could live forever, and every 25 years focus my creativity on a different arena, such as cooking, music, and architecture. Words cannot express the amount of pleasure I get out of designing iconic, fluid silhouettes for real women, allowing them to feel their most beautiful on their wedding day. Pulling inspiration from the world-at-large, my understated signature aesthetic is brought to life by combining couture level craftsmanship and low-key ornamentation for a feeling born of sublime luxury."

If you could have dinner with any 5 people who would they be and why? What would be served as the meal?

Karl Lagerfeld, Rick Owens, Gaggan, Drake and Zaha Hadid "These are all individuals that inspire me to design. Each one of them, with their unique and incredible creative talent have enriched society and the world through their perspective. Dinner would be a fusion of French, Indian and Mesopotamian flavors - with Tequila cocktails and flowing Champagne."

PROFILE

Grant McNamara GPS | Groom's Personal Stylist

GRANT MCNAMARA: DEDICATED TO HELPING THE DUDES...

Grant McNamara created GPS almost by accident. Three years ago, the Chicago-native was asked by a relative, an event/wedding planner, to help dress the groom for his big day. Though experienced in fashion and style, this was a first. It wouldn’t be his last.

Grant’s unmistakable style, trained eye, intuitive understanding of color, fabric and wear and an exquisite aesthetic helped the soon-to-be-husband look and feel his very best.

(GPS), a “wedding fashion navigator who helps them look perfect before, and on, wedding day with concierge and day-of styling services,” says Grant. “I consult with grooms ahead of the wedding to ensure their outfit is exactly as desired, everything is perfectly coordinated between the groomsmen, bridesmaids and family members. We are the only company dedicated to helping the groom and groomsmen before the wedding day.”

His work that day convinced him there was a market for dressing men on special occasions, and soon he made it a business: Groom's Personal Stylist

The business exploded, and so did his company. Grant expanded by styling men for every occasion, whether it be the office, home or social

occasions with a new service, “Gentlemen’s Personal Stylist,” which offers men “image consulting, personal development and education” in the art of developing their own style.” His clients have grown to include players from the Milwaukee Bucks, Chicago Bears and Blackeye goalie, Chris Crawford.

Working with both existing wardrobes and new custom clothes “guys learn about themselves, their personal brands, the gap between how they currently represent themselves and where they want to be, steps to close that gap and how to do it themselves,” Grant says. “It’s a journey of style development, sophistication and fun.”

“We look at the entire picture, and that creates a better, more thorough offering,” Grant continues. Body type, skin tone, profession and aspirations all factor into the process, as well as educating men about the intricacies about style.“ A key piece of GPS is the bespoke experience: creating new clothes for men to add to their existing wardrobe.”

My niche is geared more towards guys that really care about improving their look/image/style,” he says.“ I have a few guys where we made them suits and they were on their way. Totally fine. But the guys that get the most value out of it are the ones that care a little more.”

The process is very involved and personal -- Grant works with men on choosing color, fabrics and cuts, making sure every part of the wardrobe reflects not just their life and personality, but their aspirations.“Style is fun, it is intimate, it is unique. It’s important because it allows people to better understand themselves and how they want to share that with the world,” Grant says.

“Style is fun, it is intimate, it is unique. It’s important because it allows people to better understand themselves and how they want to share that with the world”

GPS -- both services -- has quickly gained a following with men in Chicago as well as the country. “Our clients span all industries, professions and personal styles,” Grant says. ‘They share common values and actions. They are driven.

They care. They value quality. They want whatever they’re doing or on to be successful. They want to show respect for themselves and those around them. They understand what their appearance can do for their confidence, careers, families, intimacy, brand image. Our clients are people that love individuality, being able to stand out and have the confidence to wear whatever they’re comfortable in.”

And helping them find that confidence is Grant, whose own style is constantly evolving. “ It reflects what I’m working on, what I want to portray to the world and what I’m feeling,” he says. “I don’t like being boxed into a certain style.

THE STYLE SECTION

I think clothiers that wear a suit and tie everyday are boring and don’t have real style. Just because you wear a nice-fitting suit everyday doesn’t mean you’re stylish. It means you wear nice-fitting suits.

Style to me is more than the clothes you wear; it’s about how and why you wear them. It’s how you make those nice-fitting suits unique and you.”

He would know. A former model, Grant was exposed to the fashion industry early and threw himself into the details. “I ate it up,” he admits. “I started reading more on style, especially European style. I spent time with my tailor watching them do alterations. I went to fabric stores and spoke with reps from mills to better understand fabrics and draping.” The experience helped him create a look of his own. “It wasn’t until managing that first custom clothier that I started to really understand my own style,

how I wanted to dress and feel, and that I wanted to help others feel that way too.”Out of that came GPS, a brand “guys could look at and say, ‘Man, he just gets it. That’s who I want helping me.’ It’s knowing who you are, being yourself, and creating something that helps you reach goals. Those goals may be personal, professional, romantic. It doesn’t matter what it is exactly. Style can help anyone become the person they want to be.”

Having appeared more than a dozen times on the cover and in spreads of national and local wedding magazines, Grant McNamara gets wedding fashion better than most guys. He's been in, and produced, dozens more photoshoots for fashion, style and weddings. He's dressed athletes and celebrities, but nothing is more exciting to him than helping each guy out on their wedding day. Weddings have always been something special for Grant, and he loves helping each groom look and feel their best. He believes that the groom deserves (almost) the same attention — and attention-to-detail — that the bride receives.

Grant knows grooms and their groomsmen care about looking good, but don't always know how. That's why he became the GPS. After years of experience running a custom clothing company and working with hundreds of clients, Grant knows how to make you dapper. With his connections in the wedding, fashion and grooming industries, you don't have to look further than Grant for advice and suggestions.Your GPS is ready to make the biggest day of your life feel like, well, the biggest day of your life.

Crystal Stark is a household name in Tucson, Arizona. Not only is she an incredibly talented vocalist and a former American Idol alumni, she's also incredibly kind and has the two cutest red headed sons. Her and William (aka Mr. Bill) had the most romantic and sweet elopement at the Hilton El Conquistador in August. The highlight of the event was when Crystal and her sons (Canyon and Cole) sang a surprise song to William after the ceremony.

"I have lots of favorite moments of the day. But I would have to say a top one was looking out at the venue from my bridal suite seeing everything come together and seeing the guests arrive.

Along with that, was the special ceremony that our Pastor did a wonderful job with, the feast of food from a local tapas bar, and dancing the night away with the beautiful city view on the Pickleball court. I truly felt like a princess and like I was in a fairytale that day. My wedding blew my expectations out of the water. It was the most dreamy, best day ever" More from Hannah and Daniel's wedding can be seen here

The weather was beautiful for the week leading up to their wedding day. But the morning of the 30th brought rain and nearly freezing temperatures. Their wedding was supposed to be outdoors, an impossibility now. But the bride and groom and their vendor team decided that it would have to be indoors, and it would have to be amazing and amazing it was.

It’s not every day that a wedding planner gets married. But when she did, she and her groom were uniquely equipped to incorporate the personal elements that are most important to them: art, good food and music, nature, friends, family and love. Carmel Valley was chosen because of its surrounding California hills and trees and relative proximity to the ocean. The bride, with an affinity to both the ocean and trees, hand-selected her own blue-green engagement sapphire as a representation of these two elements.

Sarita & Jeddy tied the knot with class & style with their gorgeous winter wedding at The Cliffs Resort in Pismo Beach, California. While most weddings I capture at this location carry a more vibrant, summer beach flare to them, Sarita & Jeddy brought such a timeless, elegant vibe to their big day, with classic formal attire and even a rare vintage car photoshoot! I'm so happy with the cooler winter tones that came out in these images, with such a beautiful and gracious couple in front of the lens. Quite a way to end 2020's wedding season!

This moody purple hued wedding was so fun to plan at one of our favorite venues.

The bride is a traveling nurse working on the front lines to help fight COVID and we were so honored to be a part of Taylor and Daniel’s day. They worked tirelessly to make sure every guideline was followed and all of their friends and family could celebrate responsibly in the middle of a pandemic. They did it with grace, and the day was such a hit. The DJ, Million Dolla Man, is one of our absolute favorites to work with — not a single booty was left in a seat - he knows how to keep the party moving! The florals were absolutely incredible, and this venue is such a dream. I wish everyday was like this one!

Known as the ’Rich Coast’, Costa Rica is a land of mist-shrouded cloud forests, rivers, wild beaches, exotic wildlife and majestic volcanoes. Costa Rica straddles the heart of Central America and is touched by both the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean. The jewel of Central America is at the forefront of eco and adventure tourism and is home to endangered sea turtles, hundreds of species of birds, mischievous monkeys and jungle cats.

AN UNEXPECTED CULINARY JOURNEY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RAINFOREST The Tented Camp has access to all of the restaurants of sister hotels: Nayara Springs and Nayara Gardens. They are Relais & Chateaux properties and place rich taste and authentic flavors at the heart of everything they do. The five restaurants they have are distinct in look and feel—from an intimate tapas bar to a lively outdoor terrace, to a colorful “pulperia” that serves a fusion of Asian and Peruvian dishes.

Chefs apply fine dining techniques to local ingredients and seasonal produce to delight you with a menu of sophisticated and delicious flavors.

SUSTAINABLE LUXURY WITH A "PURE VIDA" VIBE..

..

Each spacious tent was built on stilts to maximize the stunning vistas and leave a minimal footprint. The experience is secluded and romantic for couples, or fun and educational for the whole family.

Inspired in the African safaris but conceived in the tropical Costa Rican rainforest, the tents are a mix of sustainable luxury with a “Pura Vida” vibe. If a soothing soak is a staple in your self-care routine, prepare to swoon over the tub; or if an outdoor shower with the stars is your thing, you will have a lifetime experience. A great place to reset and recharge, far from civilization and close to nature, and with great sleep helped by the calming sounds of the rainforest.
