Signature Scent
For a groom looking to wear a new fragrance on his wedding day, look no further than K by Dolce&Gabbana – the newest eau de toilette from the famed Italian design house. The fresh blend of energetic citruses with fiery notes of juniper and spicy pimento, along with a warm, earthy base of sophisticated wood tones, creates a sensual scent that will help the memories of your nuptials stick in both of your minds forever. $94 (100ml bottle); sephora.com
Pack It Up
For couples who want to spend time exploring and going on adventures during their honeymoon, comfortable sneakers are an absolute must throughout the journey. Unfortunately, athletic shoes tend to take up a lot of valuable space in your luggage, especially if you want to include a dressy pair for a romantic dinner. The “Ecols” sneaker from The Packables™ Collection by Plae is the perfect solution for your travel needs. Diamond-filled soles inspired by bicycle treads provide the traction you need, and each pair comes with a compression bag, helping to squeeze the shoes flat without damaging the structure. Flexible and breathable for maximum comfort, the lightweight sneakers are also waterproof, making them ideal for tropical getaways. With a classic look, they’re both practical for a vacation and stylish enough for everyday wear. $99; plae.co
