With some men, the pressure intensifies as the big day starts closing in. Making plans and sticking to them can relieve this pressure and make things more fun. One of these plans includes grooming.
Are you aware of all the things you can do over the course of the next couple of months to look good?
This list is quite long, and it will most definitely keep you occupied. More importantly, if you stick with it, you will look stunning in those photos.
Let’s not lose a second anymore. By following this guide, you’ll be prepared for your wedding day as a man ready to be wed.
Style
The sooner you start planning your outfit for the big day, the better. The following tips will help you to not miss a thing.
The Suit
If you are on a tight budget, you should consider a rental designer suit or tuxedo. Scout nearby stores that specialize in this sort of thing, schedule a visit, and make sure to reserve your suit early on.
If you’re not on a budget, the best option at your disposal is to get it made for you. A tailor-made suit may cost you a pretty penny, but chances are that you might use it again after your wedding.
If you really want to reuse it, then stay in the midnight blue or charcoal grey color range. These colors give the suit a sense of formality it needs for social and business events as well.
The Shoes
Formal shoes come in three different styles, the oxford, the loafer, and the derby. Oxford is the go to formal shoe for most men. It’s classy and comfortable, which is why many grooms stick with it.
Loafers might seem too casual for a wedding day, but when paired with an elegant suit, they can complete the formal outfit just as well as oxford shoes.
If you are aiming for a less formal wedding style, you can go with derby shoes. They have a unique style, thanks to the flaps that go around the shoe’s tongue.
When it comes to material, always go with leather for your wedding day – it looks way more sophisticated than rubber.
The Watch
Choosing the watch for the wedding day is so much easier when you know the color of the suit. Choose a watch that completes the look. For example, if you are going with an elegant outfit, a sports watch might be a good option. For formal outfits, the good old trusted watch brands do wonders.
Accessories
Don’t forget about accessories when you plan your outfit. You need to have everything ready for the day. This includes underpants, socks, cufflinks, sunglasses, a bow or a tie, a belt, a pocket square, and a tie bar.
Grooming
You should start grooming long before the wedding day to achieve the best possible look.
Working Out
Working out will help you get back into shape. Start working out at least 2 to 3 months prior to your wedding. Make changes to your diet to support your workout efforts and to see results as fast as possible.
Hair
For your hair to look amazing, you should nurture it properly. You can include foods in your diet that promote healthy hair, but you can also use quality hair products. If you are experiencing problems with hair growth, you can use the Illumiflow laser cap to promote new hair growth.
Skin
Taking care of your skin is also important if you want to look luscious on your wedding day. While diet plays an important role, hydration does too. Use nurturing products to keep your skin hydrated and nurtured.
Scent
Your fragrance plays a vital role in creating your overall wedding scent. Choose the right scent, and it will add to the atmosphere and lift your spirits.
If you already have your favorite fragrance, there is no need to change it. Talk with your partner to check whether the bridal perfume will match with yours. The rule of thumb is to choose a light scent. Musky and heavier scents can be overpowering, especially for spring and summer weddings.
Mindset
Your mindset for the wedding day should scream self-confidence and “I’m here to have the day of my life!”. Take a look at all the items on this list. If you check them all off, you will feel good and look good. All the things you do to boost your self-confidence will make you look happier, and allow you to shine in social situations.
Conclusion
As you can see, grooming a groom is not that hard. Take your time and look at all the tips shared with you. Make a plan and stick to it. This will ensure that you are going to be able to pull it off and you will look your best on your wedding day.
