Smart ideas for your wedding, from fashion to fragrance

At the end of this month, Favourbrook, the go-to destination for wedding attire in Piccadilly, is opening a men’s accessories concession in Fortnum & Mason. Whether it’s something embroidered and fantastical or simple and elegant, with quality like this, you’ll be wearing its waistcoats for decades—particularly thanks to the expanding waistband cinch in the back. Waistcoats from £150 (www.favourbrook.com; www.fortnumandmason.com)

Established in 1866 as a small draper’s shop in Donegal Town, Irish tailor Magee 1866 has launched a new Atlantic Horizons collection inspired by the scenery of the area where the pieces are still crafted. The wools are woven at the Magee mill, but you could opt for light-weight cotton, silk or a linen blend. These pieces combine sharp tailoring with comfort. Three-piece suit from £496 (00 353 749 724 836; www.magee1866.com)

Now, an engaged couple can even ensure their scents are in tune. Enter Floris—the oldest privately owned family perfumer in the world—and its Together fragrance customisation service. The couple—or even a mother and daughter—can visit the newly refurbished Jermyn Street shop for a three-hour appointment, during which they will learn about scent notes and combinations. Ahead of the session, customers receive glass scent bottles—each engraved with their initials—to be filled with tailor-made fragrance on the day. All recipes will also be logged with Floris, enabling empty bottles to be topped up. £800 per couple (020–7747 3612; www.florislondon.com)

Last year, The Lanesborough underwent a £60 million refurbishment. Now, the icing on the cake is its new spa, stretching out like a private members’ club beneath the hotel.
