5 Wedding Grooming Tips for the Groom
Feb
In today’s weddings, the bride isn’t the only one getting all the pampering and prepping. Modern grooms also get to indulge themselves in grooming and transforming for the big day.
While brides are keen to start their wedding day beauty preps early on, even up to a 6 to 12 months before the big day, grooms might not be too familiar with the different grooming appointment and tasks needed to be fully prepared for the big day. More than just the routinary haircut and getting a fresh, clean shave, here’s a short list of pre-wedding grooming appointments the soon-to-be groom should know.
Teeth Whitening
About one to two months before the big day, it would be ideal for the groom to visit his dentist or dental hygienist to make sure that his million-dollar smile is in tip-top shape for the wedding portraits and the wedding film. Scheduled dental cleaning and teeth whitening sessions are highly recommended so the groom gets to flash his killer smile without any worries.
Facials
Just like the bride, facials are a must for the grooms as well. Better get acquainted with the world of dermatologists and aestheticians early into the wedding planning process to get the full effects of regular facial sessions right around the time of the wedding. Smoother skin and even skin tone can benefit the groom’s over-all look and it can also help establish a great skincare regimen that focuses on sun protection and moisturisation, making the bride fall in love with the dashing groom even more. Get started with booking facials about 6 months before the big day and make sure to get a final session about a week or two before the wedding.
Manicure and Pedicure
In the year 2020, nail salons aren’t for the bride and the bridesmaids any more. The groom can definitely have a mani-pedi session a week before the big day so his tips and toes are camera-ready right before he says “I do”. Think about it, wedding portraits and wedding films tend to focus on the exchange of rings, the signing of the documents and the cutting of the wedding cake – all involving the bride and the groom’s hands, which means investing a little time on the groom’s hands isn’t such a bad idea after all.
Body Scrub and Massage
More for the groom’s relaxation and rejuvenation, getting a body scrub and massage about a week or two before the big day can make a huge difference for the groom. It can help ease the tension and relax the muscles after a hectic week of running last-minute wedding errands and it can also help decompress after going to so many gatherings and parties related to the big day.
Manicure and Pedicure
Nothing can ever beat these two basic groom preps as it is a necessary step towards achieving the ultimate wedding day look for the man of the hour. If you have a trusted barber that you have been seeing for years, then getting a haircut and a clean shave on the morning of the wedding is absolutely okay. If you are planning on going to a fancy hairdresser or splurging on a high-end barber, then schedule an appointment at least 5 to 7 days before the wedding. Remember not to try anything new and don’t experiment with your looks on your wedding day.
