for grooms

1. For those final touches, be careful not to choose an aftershave that is overpowering.



2Once you have selected the colour and style of your suits, you and your groomsmen can make an evening of getting measured up. Remember to do this about three months prior to the wedding to guarantee you get what you want.
3If purchasing your suit ensure there is sufficient time for any necessary alterations to be done. Similarly, any accessories that need to be purchased such as shoes, socks, shirts and ties should be done so at least two months beforehand. Be sure to have your shirt professionally pressed.
4If hiring a suit, choose a hire company you feel can offer you expert advice and a wide range of styles, as well as fitting rooms to try them on – ensuring the correct cut and fit for you and your groomsmen.
5Try on your actual hire suit at least two days prior to the wedding to check the colours, sizes and quality of the garments. If you have changed size for any reason, this allows time for adjustments, as well as time to fix any minor faults such as a missing button or a loose thread.

To look your best, organise a haircut and/or beard trim one week prior to the wedding for a more natural appearance. Also, treat yourself to a manicure so your hands look nice for your new wedding ring.
7If possible, shave early in the morning of your wedding day to ensure any irritation settles prior to the wedding.
8Do not organise your bachelor party for the night before the ceremony – you may need your “beauty sleep”. Instead, plan some group activity, such as golf, with your groomsmen as a way to relax before on the morning of your wedding.

Similarly, it will be a long day so do not be tempted to start celebrating before the ceremony.
10To ensure you have a stress free day, delegate any last minute tasks to a reliable friend.
