CHOOSING CUFFLINKS FOR YOUR WEDDING
“BEST MAN, JUNE 28 2009.” That engraved set of cufflinks is a cute memento now. But in a week’s time it will be at the back of the drawer (or the charity shop). So how do you choose great cufflinks for the men in your wedding party?
1.Don’t personalise it
After attending a dozen stags and another dozen weddings, most guests have seen it all (including the groom’s underwear). We won’t keep that personalised paintballing t-shirt, we probably won’t eat the sugared almonds either, and we certainly won’t remember the handwritten place-setting. As a bride or groom, you’re spending time and money on these things. So think straight. Don’t put “Groom”, “Best Man”, or any other message onto your wedding gifts.
2. Make it classic
Instead, give gifts that are certified keepers. Men’s cufflinks are a popular choice for the groom’s party. It’s a piece of jewellery that every respectable male needs – but can hardly be bothered to pick out. It’s a gift that could be reused time and time again.
Men’s cufflinks featuring pin-ups, pink dice, or hilarious comedy cartoons are a good laugh in the store. But they won’t cut it against a sharp business suit or tux. Take a look at designer cufflinks, choosing classic shapes and simple settings for lasting appeal.
If you’re buying for men with a distinctive sense of style, look out for designer Ian Flaherty – his cutting-edge creations include a set inspired by the Gherkin in London, and cylindrical cufflinks with dazzling Swarovski crystals. For upmarket contemporary style, Denison Boston is the name to watch for. His diamond-set OVOPOD cufflinks and superdot cufflinks are already being mimicked – an original is worth the investment.
