Luckily (or unluckily?) somebody stepped up to fill in the void in Hello Kitty wedding menswear.

The romantic comedy Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is opening this week and is certainly not like a lot of romantic comedies out there. The story is about notorious bachelor Connor (Matthew McConaughey) and how he encounters the ghosts of three ex-girlfriends the day before his brother’s wedding. Costume designer Denise Wingate was in charge of picking out what everyone would wear to the movie, and her approach was very down-to-earth. Rather than having designers create custom dresses just for the film, she went around shopping like a real bride looking for great deals. The result is a mix of well known wedding dress designers like Amsale, and insider favorites Jenny Lee and Jenny Yoo.

Simply select the dress style, the dress color, and size, and you’re good to go.
