You see, he refuses to advertise his collections. He relies primarily on word of mouth and non-traditional marketing. Such as when he first opened his first stores in the late 1980s, he used to provide a laundry service for every shirt purchased. He also gives away Paxo stuffing for Christmas, chocolate bunny hotpot for Easter, and world-cup football cards. Every single piece of article he produces has his very own personality stamped upon it. That is why the slogan “No Ordinary Designer Label” has caught on very quickly with his brand.

Ted Baker is one of the fastest-growing lifestyle brands in the UK and has expanded to the USA, Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, Thailand, Kuala Lumpur, Indonesia, and Australia.

And speaking of Canali and grooms, we’re loving the Canali Spring/Summer 2012 Collection – the colors are so fresh and vibrant!

For the silk and wool pieces, there’s spearmint green, aubergine, turquoise, cornflower blue, tangerine, disco red, and muted pink. The linens and cottons are mostly in eggshell-white and pearly grey. These clearly aren’t primary colors but nuances of light and shadow combinations, which we think is a nice change.

Canali is a third-generation clothing store founded by brothers Giovanni and Giacomo in 1934. It specialises in fine meanswear and has also expanded to a sportswear line and an accessories collection of shirts, belts, ties, and shoes. All of these are designed and tailored in Italy.

These pieces would be perfect for a garden wedding, a beach wedding, or an intimate wedding.

This collection highlights the waist and shoulders and has a more streamlined feel.

Canali is guided by a vision of men’s elegance and embraces fine styling and flawless tailoring. Theirs is a constant evolution of design and the most luxurious natural fabrics and yarns, with the belief that innovation is key.

Canali products are available at fine menswear and department stores worldwide. For more groom wedding inspiration, browse their collections at Canali.

The company is run by a team of two; Katrin is the fabric-hoarder, while Matthew is the guy that makes magic. Both share a love of neckties, cotton, and fabric prints. These are all-cotton fabrics and proudly handcrafted in Cape Town, South Africa. Good Heavens continuously searches for both new and vintage fabric to update their limited-edition range.

Perfectly dressed-down yet high in style, these ties come in solid colors with touches of vintage elegance.

These definitely pop out with their bold designs but are still classy enough to wear to a wedding.

These Good Heavens neckties are not just for wearing once. They’re statement pieces that can be worn again and again. Plus in the future when your hubby needs a little pick-me-up in the morning, his bold Good Heavens necktie could be just the thing!

Grooms are getting in on the wedding ring action too.

What’s hot in ring trends for men? Men are going for the unique, sleek and stylish rings made of Mokume-Gane, steel and titanium. Even though, Mokume-Gane goes back to 17^th century Japan, the traditional wood and grain effect has endured. I love that similar to the grains in actual wood, Mokume-Gane is also highly unique. This type of ring is definitely ideal for the rugged and outdoorsy man.

If you think the wood grain is not modern enough, why not go for titanium, steel, platinum, iron, brass, bronze, nickel or silver….to name a few.

If your man has a love for the industrial, then steel and titanium are the way to go. I have found many men fancy steel and titanium. It must have to do with the “man of steel” idea! Steel and titanium seem to symbolize strength, resilience, durability and power. These great metal alternatives are also edgy, sleek, cost-conscious, and technologically advanced {they are actually very lightweight}.

So whether your man is the burly adventurer or more of the metrosexual city dweller, traditional or modern, there is definitely something for him. Spoil him with bling, sparkle or color!

It’s geared toward the clueless groom and is an account by author Craig Michael of the thirty days leading up to his wedding. He provides practical and useful lists of “things to know” and “things to do” and “ways to help”, but all wrapped up in a humorous wedding story that a guy would actually want to read. He also provides some unique and interesting ideas on bachelor parties.

If your grooms is wedding planning clueless, we’re sure this book will help. Happy reading, happy planning.

We love how quirky and unique their boutonnieres are and that most are made from vintage items. The favourite is the superhero boutonniere. Very cute.
