Spotlight on the Bridegroom
When it comes to weddings, all the attention tends to be on the bride. From the hair, make-up, and dress to the endless photoshoots, it’s all about the bride! But what about the bridegroom? Isn’t it his day too? As weddings evolve into more inclusive celebrations, bridegrooms are stepping into the spotlight, and a trend is emerging — barbers dedicated to grooming men on their big day.
The Bridegroom’s Time to Shine
Today’s bridegroom, especially those sporting beards or unique haircuts, are as eager as the bride to look and feel their best and are deserving of attention.
Hiring a barber, specifically for the wedding day, ensures that he along with his groomsmen are well-groomed and eliminates the stress of rushing to a barbershop the day before the wedding.
Wedding Day Preparation Starts Early
Grooming for the wedding day shouldn’t just begin on the morning of. Much like brides plan for weeks or months in advance, bridegrooms need a grooming routine leading up to the big day. A few tips for pre-wedding care include:
• Regular trims: Begin getting consistent haircuts and beard trims in the months leading up to the wedding to maintain a clean look.
• Skincare: Invest in skincare to ensure the face is smooth and glowing.
• Avoid drastic changes: A month before the wedding is not the time to experiment with new hairstyles or beard trends. Stick to a look you know works.
By following a grooming regimen, grooms can ensure they’ll look their best when the big day arrives. And on the wedding day itself, having a professional barber on hand guarantees the final touch of perfection.
The Convenience Factor: Bringing the Barber to You
Traditionally, men might hit the barbershop the day before the wedding, hoping that a fresh cut would last through the ceremony and all the photos. But more and more, barbers are offering mobile services, bringing the barbershop directly to the groom and his party. Whether it’s at home, a hotel, or the wedding venue, mobile barbers remove the hassle of fitting in one last trip to the shop.
This service also offers a touch of luxury — think of it as a grooming concierge service. Barbers are available for touch-ups throughout the day, ensuring the groom’s look is flawless from beginning to end. This is especially helpful for long photo sessions or outdoor weddings where heat and humidity can affect hair and beard styles.
One of the great things about having a barber on-site is that it’s not just for the bridegroom, but also his squad.
A fresh cut and shave on the morning of the wedding, is more than just about looking good — it’s about feeling good too. The good news is that it’s a growing trend.
So, gentlemen, whether you’re clean-shaven or bearded, consider adding a barber to your wedding day team. After all, your wedding day look deserves just as much attention as that of your bride’s.
