Emphasis Jewellery
It’s a Chinese tradition for the bride to wear lots of gold jewellery along with her qipao, but if the traditional, heavy bling isn’t for you, then you should definitely check out Emphasis Jewellery and its modern collection of east-meets-west “Double Happiness” bracelets.
Gieves & Hawkes
For a seriously posh set of threads, check out bespoke tailors Gieves & Hawkes for a wedding tux that’ll have any usually scruffy chap looking spiffing on the day itself.
Ascot Chang
Having been in operation since 1953, Ascot Chang is one of the city’s finest–if not one of the priciest–gentleman’s tailors.
Macau Stag
Here’s one for the boys: Macau Stag does exactly what it says on the tin, namely, it helps blokes organize their “final send-off” in style–with a VIP weekend at all Macau’s hottest spots. But it’s not all about frittering your money away in the less salubrious parts of town; Macau Stag helps you really get to grips with the town and takes you off the beaten path for some really great dining and entertainment experiences. Call for a quote or check out their website foir some suggestions on what to do. Check out their ready-made packages for everyone from sports enthusiasts to guys looking for a high-roller’s weekend. Prices start at $1,800 per person. Somehow we suspect that Zaia doesn’t feature heavily on the itinerary.
