Weddings are all about the detail, and often a great deal of thought goes into the men’s attire on the big day. One thing that is often overlooked until the last minute is selecting cufflinks for the Groom and his entourage. Making the right choices can sometimes be tricky, but this article helps ensure that you can make informed decisions about what could work best at your wedding.
The Best Man will take a large proportion of the responsibilities on the day, although the Ushers or Groomsmen will help take some of the pressure from him. Many couples want to show their appreciation to these guys for their help in these roles. Cufflinks are a great way to do this which is why it is not unusual for the Bride and Groom to supply a gift of matching cufflinks to all the men. This also includes the Fathers, any Brothers, and sometimes the Page Boys too.
There are many different styles of wedding cufflinks available, however the main factor which will affect the selection should be the colours chosen for the men to wear. Usually the suits along with any waistcoats, cravats, or ties will have been arranged long before anyone has thought of buying cufflinks. This actually works well, as it narrows down the selection process considerably. Let’s say the men are all going to be wearing lilac ties, any colour that goes well with this would look great, so this can be an exact colour match, or neutral colours such as silver, white, ivory, black, or even some of the pastel colours that don’t cause a clash. It is also a good idea to check store returns policy to ensure you can get an exchange or a refund if the cufflinks aren’t quite the colour that you needed when you actually compare everything later.
Like most things in life, cost is an important consideration but especially when budgeting for a wedding. Ideally you should already have a part of your budget set aside for this cost. Big savings can be made online when purchasing from a specialist retailer and you should consider this if you intend to buy multiple pairs. Think about how many pairs you need to buy, and consider how much you are willing to spend on each pair. Remember to be realistic, if you pay too little you may be disappointed with the quality.
There are many different styles of cufflinks that would be suitable for a wedding. Square cufflinks are the most widely available and come in crystal, enamel, silver, gold, as well as pre-designated wedding role cufflinks. The latter are a great choice as they come in a selection of colours and are relatively inexpensive. Crystal cufflinks make a great choice for modern weddings. They come in a variety of colours and offer a sophisticated detail to the gentleman’s attire.
Another consideration is buying engraved cufflinks that can be personalised with the recipients name, initials, the wedding date, or even a brief message. Alternatively you could just buy engravable boxes to present the cufflinks with your message engraved on the lid. This can make a heart warming gift, particularly for the fathers, for whom the day can be quite an emotional one.
It’s important to remember, like every other aspect of your wedding that it’s all about the bride and groom, so don’t worry too much about what other people want or would prefer to wear. They will probably be grateful of getting a gift to remember their role on your big day. Unlike suits and ties, which are usually hired for the day, their wedding cufflinks will be a gift they can keep and cherish for years to come.
