Let’s face it: Boys need help. I think I’m surprising no one here when I say that, although we love them, oftentimes the men in our lives don’t have it all going on sartorially. Ditto for the wedding vibe. I mean, you may be super into choosing the flowers, signature cocktails and first dance song, but if your guy is anything like mine, chances are, all he wants to know is if there will be beef and lobster, a nicely malted whiskey, and if he can wear flip flips to the rehearsal dinner (in our case the answer was “yes!” on all points).
While I’m sure you’ll answer every one of your lovely husband-to-be’s wedding related Qs, there may be a few times that you just don’t have time—hello! This bash won’t plan itself. And that, my dear brides, is where the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London comes in.
Located at a posh Knightsbridge address overlooking the haute shops and pretty parkland, the gilded hotel offers amazing service, jewel-box guest rooms, and a write-about-it-for-years-it's-so-off-the-chain spa as befitting of the brand name. Host your marriage celebration at the golden grand ballroom of this classic English city retreat, and your groom (and, let’s face it, you) will be gifted with a bit of wedding help. The hotel’s ingeniously named Groom Service program includes a personal shopping outing, haircut, shoe shine, and monogramming service for your honey. He’ll pick out his wedding wardrobe under the watchful eye of “Mr. Classic” Jeremy Hackett and learn the do’s, don’ts and how-tos for all things wedding. And yes, that means etiquette FA and regular Qs along with how to properly dress oneself tips. Told you, boys need help.
P.S. Couples who marry here also receive a 20% discount on spa services. Go to mandarinoriental.com for more info.
