What’s new in the world of weddings, plus ideas to spark your imagination.

AND FOR THE BOYS

News for the groom – fave suiting options, plus must-have extras.

Crane Brothers’ Autumn Winter ’17 collection has hit shelves. Each piece is immaculately tailored, and, as usual, features unique attention to detail, including traditional English weaving techniques in cloths – think Donegal and Bedford twill, plus other classic tweeds.

Deadly Ponies’ new man collection features rich ink bovine leather, tightly coiled shearling and brass highlights. It includes a duffel bag and a weekender – groom’s gift, sorted!

Topman has launched a ‘Muscle Fit’ suit, as well as accompanying shirts to cater to a more muscular build – perfect for Kiwi guys who don’t gravitate towards slim-fit suiting.

IN WHAT HAS TO BE OUR FAVOURITE DECORATING INITIATIVE TO SURFACE IN RECENT TIMES, ILLUSTRATED CAKES CONTINUE TO REIGN SUPREME. PULL THE LOOK OFF BY KEEPING THE IMAGE LARGE ENOUGH TO BE CLEAR FROM FAR AWAY. EXPERT ADVICE: When you pick up your bouquet, be sure to check with your florist which side’s the front. It could make all the difference in photos.
