Why Wedding Cufflinks Matter

• Finish the look: Cufflinks bring structure and shine to a formal shirt.
• Tell a story: Engraving initials, a date, or a motif makes them personal.
• Photograph beautifully: A subtle gleam at the wrist elevates close-up shots.

How to Choose the Right Pair

1) Match Your Metal

Align your cufflinks with your watch, belt buckle, and tie clip for a cohesive look.

• Silver-tone / Sterling Silver: Crisp and modern; pairs with navy, charcoal, and black suits.
• Gold-tone: Warm and traditional; great with midnight blue or black tie.
• Rose gold: Contemporary and refined; complements warmer complexions and tan suits.

2) Choose a Wedding-Ready Motif

Keep it timeless for the ceremony, expressive for the evening.

• Classic shapes: Ovals, bars, knots, or polished discs.
• Subtle texture: Engine-turned patterns, brushed metal, or mother-of-pearl.
• Themed options: Consider a nod to shared interests for the reception.

3) Coordinate Colour Accents

Pick up tones from the tie, pocket square, or boutonnière. Navy, burgundy, and soft pastels are wedding favourites. If your palette is bold, keep the cufflinks understated to balance the look.

4) Personalise It

Engraving initials, the wedding date, or a short message turns wedding cufflinks into heirlooms. Keep fonts clean for readability.
