Fielding & Nicholson share their top tips for finding a wedding suit

Trying to find an outfit for your wedding can be a stressful experience, so to help you find the perfect look, we spoke to Ian Fielding- Calcutt, the founder of Fielding & Nicholson, and asked for his dos and don'ts when it comes to men's tailoring. Opt for a lightweight linen or cotton suit in pastel colours like light blue, pale pink, or mint green. Pair it with a crisp white dress shirt and a colourful silk tie. Avoid dark, heavy fabrics and formal black suits and steer clear of heavy wool suits. Consider polished loafers, suede derbies, or a pair of smart leather brogues in light tan or brown shades. Remember, not wearing socks is a big faux pas for a formal wedding. Go for tonal socks and trousers that break on the shoe.

Pedal for mental health: The benefits of cycling during Mental Health Awareness Week

1 in 4 people in the UK experience mental health disorders every year. This reality highlights the pressing need for awareness, support, and empathy towards mental health problems and people who experience them. Mental Health Awareness Week is an annual event to raise awareness about mental health disorders, its causes, and effects. This year, Mental Health Awareness Week falls onto Monday 13th of May to Sunday 19th of May. The theme of this year's Mental Health Awareness Week is 'movement', in hope to encourage individuals to incorporate movement into their daily habits. The NHS recommends at least 2.5 hours of exercise a week. However, incorporating daily movement not only allows individuals to enjoy fresh air and outdoors time but also triggers the release of 'happy hormones', which positively impact people's mental well-being.

Ring-a-ding-ding - how to choose the perfect wedding ring

Jewellery expert Sach Kukadia from 7879 shares the differences between platinum, gold and white gold rings. What is a platinum ring?

While this is technically true, it doesn't mean your ring will be completely free of blemishes throughout its lifetime.

WarPaint For Men shares its make-up and skincare tips for grooms-to-be

Our grooms' editor, Melissa Cullen, chatted with the founder of WarPaint For Men, Danny Gray, to discuss his skincare advice for grooms-to-be.

As great make-up starts with healthy skin, preparation is key to ensuring any products you apply, like tinted moisturiser or concealer, sit well and last all day. Start by using a hydrating cleanser with warm water to wash your face. Follow this up with a hydrating moisturiser and a primer to create a great base for your make-up. It's a good idea to leave the primer for a minute or so before applying any products.

Sentimental gifts for the wedding party

Emma Pearson, owner of Heads and Tails Jewellery, shares with us her thoughts about choosing gifts for your wedding party. "Finding gifts for your party is an important part of wedding planning, especially as these will be the people who stand beside you on one of the most important days of your life. You might want to give a gift to ask them to be in your wedding party or show them you appreciate them by saying thank you with a personalised gift. Either way, finding a gift that's as unique as the people in your party can be tricky; choose something personalised with a coin minted in their birth year can be a unique and sentimental choice, or why not combine both of your birth years into one beautiful piece that they can cherish for years to come?
