When it comes to buying bridal jewellery (and gifts for maids and mums), it’s about investing in quality pieces that will never date and can be worn again after the big day. The latest collection from independent, family-owned Berry’s Jewellers in Windsor has something for everyone, whether you’re looking for silver, gold, pearls or diamonds.

Winter weddings, and especially those at Christmas, allow grooms and groomsmen to wear rich textures and warm tones and the latest collection from Chimney Formal Menswear offers all that and more. Trendled designs, like this look, below, involve tweed suits layered with a tonal-collared waistcoat and teamed with a burgundy floral tie.

A forest-green, check tweed suit with a matching collared waistcoat is lifted to a new level when teamed with a striking burnt orange tie and a dried flower and grass buttonhole. Smart black suits worn with contrasting waistcoats in rich earthy tones and coordinating ties in golden hues give a simple but smart silhouette.

A classic tuxedo is a sophisticated choice for a Christmas wedding, especially if styled with deep-red blooms and forest-green foliage.
