Mrs. Ostrich's Picture
Mrs. Ostrich, San Francisco/Hawaii Age and Occupation: 30, Fashion Buyer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 38, Copywriter Engagement Date: October 4, 2009 Wedding Date: April 2011 Venue: Sweet ceremony by the sea and sunset celebration on the North Shore of Hawaii About Me: Born in the city of angels and residing in the city by the bay, I’m a fearless fashion buyer by day, a passionate blog author by night and a dreamy bride-to-be in between. I thank my lucky stars to live in such a stunning city that gives me gifts like organic honey lavender ice cream, movie nights in the park, tucked away beaches, legendary record stores, '80s dance parties, awesome sports teams, stellar flea markets, and vintage bookshops. Oh, and I love to dance! We always find every excuse to escape to the beach, and decided a little seaside wedding in Hawaii is our idea of bliss. Full of our favorite people, music, food and sparkly lights, this is one sunset celebration we will always remember.

For every dashing groom {well hello, Paul newman}, there is always one thing in common…

The links.

Cufflinks, the closest thing to earrings for our guys, and come in a gazillion shapes, colors and sizes. They are a super fun way to add some of his quirky, winning personality into that wedding day ensemble of his. :)

You could go classic—you know, those plain silver circle or square ones…

You could be colorful… {Mr. O thinks minis are funny and he loves Paul Smith!}

You could be sporty… {GO GIANTS!!! YEAAA!!!}

One of my favorite {British} sweater designers gifted me a pair of vintage sterling silver pembroke welsh corgi cufflinks a few years back to give to Mr. O. And when I saw his mile wide, Christmas day smile, I knew that this would be the pair Mr. Ostrich would wear the day we said “I do.”

And for my fellow dog loving bees, A & L Home has the most fantastic collection of canine cufflinks {they have cat ones, too!}. Lo and behold, they have corgi cufflinks, as well!

Now it’s your turn, bees! What links are your grooms sporting on your wedding day? Classy, sporty, quirky or funny?

HE wore sliver ones with black in the center. He has a physics degree so i got 314 engraved on the black part. 314 is pi (aka infinity..like our love *hee hee*) and also happens to be the num of the aprt we first lived in together :)

:) for our last anniversary, I gifted my Mister a pair of cufflinks purchased from LittleAngelsJewelry on Etsy, and they’re in the shape of little gears!

He wore them to our engagement photo session, and I knew he would not hesitate to wear them to our wedding. I look forward to seeing this detail in our pro pics!

First let me say - go Giants!

My now-husband wore cuff links I gave him a few year back - silver with a 5-speed gearbox in black. We love our manual transmission cars; wish they had a 6-speed!

Miss Ostridge - I don’t think I can post a photo in the comment, but here’s basically what they looked like from Amazon.com.

My FH dabbles in DJing and he received silver turntable cufflinks as a gift in his best friend’s wedding. He is planning on wearing them in ours!

Paul Newman = drool
As for cufflinks, I tried and tried to find some awesome ones, but I gave up. Then I was going to make my own and ran out of time. Oops! Maybe one day he’ll get an awesome pair.

We’re going for coloured shirts, and haven’t been able to find the right colour with French cuffs. :( I was looking forward to buying some cute cufflinks for Mr. Cinnamon Bun, but I’ll get over it.
