Groom at a wedding - wedding tips for the groom: appearance and behavior

The groom at a wedding is a key figure. The success of the holiday depends on his fortitude, ability to speak and “resolve” conflict and awkward situations, appearance and behavior. Only the bride can receive more attention and stress, including psychological stress. In order for the wedding to take place at the highest level, the groom should be mentally prepared, get ready, and also carefully consider all the details.

During the organizational period, the groom, as a rule, plans the budget for the holiday, participates in discussing the style of the event and the list of guests. He must take care of transport and the location of the banquet, wedding rings and the bride’s bouquet, if it is decided to follow traditions. And, of course, the newlywed must look and behave impeccably.

What should the groom look like?

When preparing a wedding, it is customary to pay special attention to the bride. After all, she must be dazzling, amaze and delight with her unearthly beauty, magnificent outfit and thoughtful image. And they often overlook the fact that the groom on his wedding day should also be neat, stylish, and stunning. Only a courageous handsome prince will look harmonious next to the beautiful bride.

Face and body care

Since photo and video shooting is planned, the main attention should be paid to the skin of the face, neck and hands. 1-2 weeks before the wedding, it is necessary to begin a set of procedures that will significantly improve their condition:

Wash your face daily with cool water and soft neutral gel or foam;
Use an exfoliating facial scrub 2 times a week, then apply a nourishing or moisturizing cream suitable for your skin type and season to your neck, face and hands;
you need to take care of your fingernails. You can entrust the matter to a specialist by ordering a hygienic manicure, or get your nails in order yourself;
limit, and preferably stop, smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages, large amounts of coffee and sweet sodas. Increase the volume of clean drinking water to 1.2-2 liters daily. These measures will improve your skin color and saturate it with moisture;
The groom's teeth should shine clean and white. If they have turned yellow from tobacco, coffee or tea, there are stones or diseases, you should schedule a visit to the dentist and get your oral cavity in order;
a beard and mustache will require a little adjustment by a professional, as will eyebrows that are too thick. They should look neat and even.

Don't forget about the body. Toning or relaxing baths with sea salt, herbal extracts, and contrast showers have an excellent effect. The skin should be clean and the toenails should be trimmed. Pedicure can be done or not, at the request of the groom. If you have corns, you should use a pumice stone, then soften your heels and toes with cream.

On a special day, you should use deodorant, eau de toilette for men, avoiding too strong, rich aromas, so as not to cause a headache in your loved one.

Groom's hairstyle at a wedding

Well-groomed hair and a stylish hairstyle make a very pleasant impression on both the bride and guests. If there is a need for a haircut, it should be planned in advance, no later than 14-20 days before the special day. Why? The hair should grow a little, which gives the appearance a natural look. In addition, the haircut may turn out to be unsuccessful, and you will have to have it redone by another hairdresser. You can apply nourishing masks several times to give strength and shine to your hair. These are sold in stores for different hair types, or you can choose a suitable folk recipe.

Which hairstyle to choose is decided by each individual, depending on their own preferences and the planned image. It can be a strict style, the latest men's fashion, classic, and even luxurious curls to the shoulders and below. The main condition is that they must be clean and not create a contrast with the suit.

Organize house cleaning

Cleaning your home is always a good idea, especially if you plan to live here with your future wife. During the pre-holiday bustle there will be a lot of people in the house, it would be nice if your future wife did not have to worry about this mess.

Invite a cleaning company to clean up the house. Are you going on your honeymoon right after your wedding? Order cleaning for the time of departure (ask one of your relatives to supervise this) - you will be pleased to return from your trip to a clean apartment. Your wife will be in seventh heaven!

Groom suit for wedding

The groom's wedding suit is one of the main elements of his image. Ideally, wedding attire is sewn individually by a good craftsman. But not everyone can afford such a service. Therefore, it is necessary to select an outfit with all responsibility, trying to take into account the following points:

a style that suits the chosen wedding style and the appearance of the groom;
high-quality fabric, which by its very appearance demonstrates wealth and respectability;
check how comfortably the suit “fits” the newlywed. It should not restrict movement, press anywhere, or rub;
character, manner of movement and preferences of the groom;
the presence or absence of a tie, neckerchief, bow tie.

The color scheme for a modern wedding can be absolutely anything, from snow-white and silver to dark blue, burgundy and black. The suit can be decorated with original fabric texture, fringe, patterns and embroidery, including gold or silver, precious stones or crystals. When a suit is chosen, shoes are selected to go with it.

Classic groom suit

The immortal and win-win version of the groom's suit is a classic one, as well as a combination of a tailcoat or tuxedo with trousers. It is recommended to slightly dilute the rather strict image that is created with the help of such robes with bright colors, because we are talking about a bright, joyful holiday. This could be a scarf or a contrasting tie, an original boutonniere, a tie clip and cufflinks.

Three-piece suit

A three-piece suit is also always appropriate, and suits almost any format of wedding, except for the most fantastic costume or informal ones. Actually, the only thing that distinguishes it from the classic version is the presence of a vest. This is a stylish, aristocratic option that creates the image of a gallant gentleman. In addition, it is convenient because in a very heated, stuffy room or in the summer heat, the jacket can be removed, leaving you with a shirt and vest.

Various styles

A wedding suit does not have to be monochromatic. If you want something special, but not too parrot-like, you can choose an elegant check, including colored tartan. Or thin stripes.

If the wedding is planned in a free, light style, for example, rustic or boho-chic, you can prefer democratic jeans with a loose shirt or jumper, and soft moccasins or boots to the usual suits. A variety of accessories in the form of hats, canes, suspenders and belts organically complement the created image.

Wedding rings

Where are they? Perhaps you put them in a "safe place" that will be impossible to remember on wedding morning? First of all, make sure you remember where you put them and can easily find them on day X. Second, make sure you bring them to the ceremony! It's best to put both wedding rings together in one box and give it to the best man. He can keep them in his inside jacket pocket until it's time to exchange the rings.

Ask 2-3 close relatives to remind you and your witness about the wedding rings on the day of the ceremony. You may think such precautions are unnecessary, but you don’t want to be left empty-handed at the most important moment in your life.

Pack your suitcase for your honeymoon

Groom suit color

The traditional rule: “the bride in white, the groom in black” has given way to new trends. Or - well-forgotten old, because our ancestors did not go to the wedding ceremony in black classic suits and white dresses. Modern fashion trends allow the groom to choose a wide variety of colors for his suit.

Brown. Warm, versatile color is perfect for wedding celebrations in a home or country setting. Experts recommend choosing chocolate shades; they are more pleasing to the eye.
Blue. The color of the sky, sea and masculinity is perfect for a wedding. Moreover, now it is at the peak of popularity, it is chosen not only by future husbands, but also by brides. It looks great on any type of man, regardless of their build and hair color.
White. The ideal color for tanned, dark brunettes, emphasizing their passionate, Spanish appearance. To avoid an unwanted color effect, such a suit is combined with a bride’s dress in delicate pastel colors - light pink, blue, or, on the contrary, bright ones - red, burgundy, blue. The couple looks harmonious in snow-white outfits. But if the bride chose a dress in ivory color (ivory), then such a suit should be abandoned.
The whole palette of rich amethyst and violet shades. This color is unusual for Russian men. However, noble purple has always been considered the privilege of royalty. This costume creates the image of a real prince or emperor.

These are not all the colors recommended for modern newlyweds. Depending on personal taste, appearance and other factors, you can choose a magnificent burgundy or turquoise, green or sand, steel and other options.

Don't forget about fun

Despite all the work and hassle, try not to forget about fun. Go out to dinner, to a movie, to a dance together, wherever you have the opportunity to relax and get away from the stress of the wedding. By the way, in the club you will be able to hone your skills on the dance floor, because soon you will need to perform the newlyweds’ dance.

During a romantic dinner, it's worth flirting a little. Young couples often forget about themselves during this difficult, nervous time of wedding preparation...

Look at your beloved with tenderness. She really needs your support

Choosing a witness and groomsmen

Friends of the groom at a wedding have a responsible and honorable role. Together with a witness (who may or may not be present), they perform many different tasks and duties:

help in organizing a wedding;
give advice when choosing a suit and accessories;
organize a bachelor party and provide psychological support for the groom;
develop competitions and entertainment, and in the absence of a toastmaster or presenter, help conduct them.

The groom, when choosing his groomsmen and witness for the wedding, must take this into account. That is, not just the best friends are suitable, but those who have an easy, sociable character, are reliable and punctual, and carry out assigned tasks to a victorious end.

Plan a surprise for your loved one

It doesn't have to be anything grand or expensive. Send your loved one flowers on your wedding morning, a love note she finds on her pillow as soon as she wakes up, or a basket of her favorite croissants with strawberry jam for breakfast. Perhaps you will come up with something original and romantic for the morning of the wedding; in any case, the girl will be extremely pleased to receive such signs of attention.

Wedding expenses

One of the main responsibilities of the groom when preparing for the wedding is the allocation of the budget and payment for services. As a rule, modern newlyweds divide expenses in half, but this depends on their wealth and social status. It happens that all expenses are paid in full by one party. What are the main positions?

Organization of a festive banquet. This could be a restaurant, a river or sea ship, a home feast or an outdoor celebration in a rented room. To determine the exact amount, you will need a guest list.
Entertainment. This article includes hiring musicians and dance groups, artists of various genres, and equipment rental. Also, you should take into account the payment for the presenter or toastmaster, children's animators, if families with children are invited to the wedding. This also includes various prizes, devices and equipment for games, fireworks, shows and special effects.
Photo and video. In order to subsequently enjoy really good photographs and videos about your own wedding, and show them to your children and grandchildren, acquaintances and friends without embarrassment, you need the competent work of a good cameraman. He will professionally capture the most touching and solemn, funny and romantic situations, edit a magnificent film or select the most spectacular photos. And, of course, the newlyweds will look divine in these pictures.
Wedding rings. The groom orders and pays for the purchase of rings according to size. You can order simple, smooth models, or decorate them with engraving.
Bride's bouquet, groom's boutonniere. The bouquet must be chosen so that it harmonizes with the bride’s outfit.

In addition, depending on the format of the wedding, rose petals on the bed, showering of the newlyweds after registering the marriage, and a wedding ceremony may be required. They also line the paths to the wedding arch or limousine.

Lovely surprises for your beloved

Preparatory wedding efforts, especially when you are both busy professionals, are an extremely stressful and exhausting process: you rarely see each other, and when you meet, you talk mainly about the wedding.

Try not to forget about feelings during this period. Remind her of your love - leave a message with a short "love" on the kitchen table, attach a note with a heart on the refrigerator, prepare breakfast, and send a bouquet of her favorite daisies. These are just little things, but they have great power.

Happy wedding day

Wedding procession

It is better to discuss the issue of the wedding procession with the bride. There are several ways to solve this:

decorate personal cars or other vehicles with wedding symbols;
rent the required number of cars, choosing their brand and color. You may prefer retro cars, a limousine or modern domestic or foreign brands;
Nowadays, original weddings have become fashionable, when the bride and groom choose the most unexpected options - bikes, bicycles, roller skates, dog sleds, Russian troikas, carriages, open carriages in the European style, airplanes, helicopters.

Which option is preferable is up to the newlyweds to decide.

Take part in the preparation

Even if your chosen one is happily involved in wedding preparations, she will certainly be grateful if you take care of some organizational issues. Perhaps this will be negotiations with a catering company, organizing a motorcade, or perhaps selecting and purchasing alcohol. Your responsibility, ingenuity and hard work will be appreciated by your beloved.

Check if the wedding rings are in place

Groom's speech at a wedding

According to tradition, the newlywed is required to make a short speech at his wedding. And you should prepare for this. You shouldn’t rely on your memory or a suddenly flitting muse that will help you compose a thank-you text in a single moment. The words the groom plans to say at the wedding must be written down and memorized. The duration of the speech is no more than five minutes, and it is worth mentioning not only the parents on both sides, but also all the volunteer helpers in organizing the wedding.

Examples of groom's wedding speeches:

Thank you to all the close people gathered in this room who said so many warm and pleasant words and parting words to us. We are glad to see you today at our holiday. You are truly dear people to us. We will be happy to see you all on our silver wedding anniversary. Let's raise our glasses and drink to this!
In the Caucasus there is a belief that the time a person spends with his friends does not count towards age. Perhaps that is why there are so many centenarians there. I want to raise this glass so that such wonderful guests will gather in our house more often, who will prolong our lives with their visit! We were preparing for this day and were very excited! But now that our closest and dearest people have gathered here, we are very happy. And we want to thank you for your attention and care. We raise this glass to you with sincere wishes of happiness!
Dear (name of the bride), dear (names of father-in-law and mother-in-law), my beloved mother and father, dear guests! On this wonderful day - my family's birthday, I want to say words of gratitude. First of all, I am very grateful to fate for introducing me to such a charming woman as (name of the bride). For the fact that she united us in a sacred union. And in advance - for the fact that, I hope, she will give me and (name of the bride) many long happy years! I also want to say thank you, (name of the bride), for choosing me and agreeing to become my wife and connect your life with me. I promise you will never regret your decision. Thank you, my dear parents, for everything you have done for me. For sitting at this table now and being happy for us. Thank you (names of mother-in-law and father-in-law) for your daughter. You raised a real princess - smart, kind, well-mannered, magnificent. And I will make sure that she always remains a queen! Thank you, family and friends, for gathering here on this bright day and hour to share our joy. For all the kind words that you have already told us, and will say again in honor of the celebration. For your beautiful flowers and gifts. For cheerful smiles, and simply for being you! I really hope to see everyone here at my golden wedding with (bride’s name)!
Dear wife, dear parents and invited guests! Today is an extremely important day - the birthday of a new happy family, my family. And I want to say a few words at this solemn moment. First of all, I would like to say words of gratitude to fate, which gave me a magical meeting with my beloved (name).

The groom plays the main role at a wedding; he bears the bulk of the duties and responsibilities for organizing the celebration. Moreover, he, along with the bride, is in the center of everyone's attention, and cannot just leave the holiday without a good reason. Therefore, the newlywed should take care of his appearance and clothes, be patient and tactful, so that the memories of this long-awaited day are only positive.

Become a real prince for the bride!

It is very important that your wedding becomes unique, not like everyone else’s, fun and, of course, memorable. This task also falls on the groom; here it is worth showing what a romantic you are and how resourceful you are.

Surprise the bride. You will arrive at her entrance on a white horse, and order a carriage from the registry office. Take part in fun competitions at the wedding; you shouldn’t sit at the festive table all day and just watch how someone is having fun. Involve the bride in the competitions, she also wants to “flex her legs” and show what she is capable of.

The main thing is not to go too far, remember: everything should be in moderation!
