It is conventionally held that the wedding day is all about the bride. That is a notion that is debatable, so another place and time. But the truth of the matter is that the groom too has invaluable input that he can put into the works. Aside from helping his wife-to-be with ironing out details of how the whole thing will turn out, the groom will mostly be judged by the way he presents himself on the material day. The way he carries himself and the way he is groomed are therefore very important.
The groom has to have about him that complete aura of a gentleman about him. This being a special day, the last thing you want is giggles behind your back that your hair is not befitting or your tuxedo is an inch too long. Perfection is the name of the game here. Once you have settled on the date and day on the marriage, don’t just sit and wait for the big day. Seek advice from your proposed best man on the best kind of suit to wear on the day, coordinate with him so that the groomsmen tuxedos won’t clash with yours. By all means get a stylist if you have the muscle.
Your hair says a lot about you. So forget about a quick brush and a comb and think yourself ready to walk down the isle. Depending on your type of hair, get it waxed or sprayed. Use shampoos and gels to give it that shine worthy of a very important gentleman. Get also to choose the right scent of cologne. Attend to the minutest of details so that everyone who comes into contact with you is left with no doubt who is the main gentleman of the day.
The suit that you choose to wear should be made to precision by the letter. Have your tux specially made with express specifications so that it is neither an inch shorter or longer. A perfect suit complemented by a gentlemanly gait leaves no room for doubting the importance of the day to you. From your head to your toe, you should be able to exhibit that aura of someone who is sure of what he wants and means. There are numerous websites and wedding magazines where you can information and tips on the latest and most unique of gentleman grooming products for your big day.
If the wedding is based on a specific theme, get to research on that particular theme and groom yourself accordingly. Know the color combinations of the wedding settings and avoid stark color clashing. If for example your wedding has an Irish, some traces of green should be able to manifest here and there. Give the impression of someone who is able to capture the subtle aspects of modern style and fashion.
But simplicity might also hold the key to the perfect gentlemanly look. Emphasize on your strong points and try to work on your weak aspects. But by all means do not bluff as it might be blown leading to embarrassment. If you can’t get that multiple piece tux, do with what you can afford. Just be sharp and sure of what you are doing.
