Grooming Yourself For A Wedding

Wedding’s happen, and you’re bound to be part of one at some point. You could be the lucky groom, the charming best man, or one of a set of groomsmen. No matter the role, you’re still going to have to get suited and booted for the wedding – especially so if you’re center stage during the event, or if you’re just attending, you need to be equipped right. A wedding is a chance to make some fantastic memories, no matter the part you’re to play during the ceremony. It’s also an excuse to get your best threads out and look good.

Preparing for a wedding? Truly, it’s a question about your role. If you’re just attending, there’s a lot to do – but if you’re set to marry a gorgeous bride on the day – or see your son off, there’s a lot more to do. We’ll try to cover all of it today.

Firstly, what do you bring to a wedding? It’s a gift of some sort. Try to find out what the happy couple will want from you and bring it to them. Even if you’re set to be married, you still need a gift, and that comes in the form of a ring. If you’re charged with buying your own ring – you might be interested in going quirky with these awesome men’s camo wedding bands, but most of the time, you’ll have to buy a ring for your partner to be, so most of the time you’ll have to keep them in mind. Typical gifts include home products, luxury items, cash gifts or special items of memorabilia of the day, always consult the couple before buying – this is their day, so they need a special gift, just for them.

Getting ready for a wedding? What does that mean. Well – firstly, it means you need to dress for success. What do you wear to a wedding – well, there isn’t a set outfit, and there are few rules. What’s more, weddings take place in all sorts of places throughout the course of the year, meaning you’ll need to take that into account. Firstly, you need to feel comfortable – don’t bother wearing something that is tight, uncomfortable or irritating. When it comes to the seasons – think carefully and think smart. The easiest season to dress for is the spring, so relish those May, April and March weddings! That’s because spring doesn’t have extreme weather – it won’t be freezing cold, nor boiling hot. Lighter tones and darker suits work well, but focus on your footwear – smart boots and brogues work well in the spring. The summer is a bit different, so your attire will need to be different as well. Opt for lightweight fabrics when the sun is out to ensure you’re not getting hot under the collar and heated. You might opt for a more casual look without going too relaxed during summer weddings by combining a blazer with a tee. The autumn months are like the spring, but with more cold and more rain. You want to wear your warmer fabrics during this month, so opt for suits heavy in cotton and tweed. Just so that you don’t freeze! These earthy tones will help you look good, when the weather isn’t. The winter is a different ballgame entirely; you’ll need to layer up. Add a waistcoat to your suit to avoid bulking up, and stick to the heavy fabrics – wool would be a good idea when the weather is cold! That’s your outfit set then, for each and every season – no need to be underprepared, but if you’re centre-stage at a wedding, hit up a tailor and go all out with your choice.

They say that the suit maketh the man, and that’s true for the most part – but the man inside the suit needs to look good! You won’t do your suit any justice if you’re not groomed. Check out this infographic to show how to make your skin looking healthier and younger.

The wedding essentials? Get a good haircut about two days before the event – but if you’re trying a new hairstyle out, get it done a month before and if you like it in the month leading up to the wedding, you can get a repeat cut. This is to save any last minute bad hair days! Cut that beard as well – even if you like your bushy beard, get it trimmed. Presentable is the name of the game here and sharp beard lines will look good with your suit!

Getting ready for a wedding isn’t rocket science, it’s hard work – but it’s worth it. Get your best clothes together and enjoy the occasion.
