Groom's Corner: How to look a cut above the rest!



While the brides and bridesmaids of this world have teams of make up artists and hair stylists to work on them, Grooms sometimes feel they have to settle for just the standard barbers cut or sometimes just purchasing a new razor in Boots.  

Don't worry, here at Groom's Corner, we like to ensure that you, the Groom get the equal treatment that the female variety enjoy.   The following are some top tips to make you look dapper on your big day.

1. The Hot Towel Shave

Nothing screams trust than to have a stranger using a sharp instrument on the skin closest to your most vital artery.  A hot towel shave is still the epitome of shaving.   Having the feeling of the heat on your skin followed by the cold swipe of a blade.    The hairs just fall off the skin and makes for a much better shave than you could ever try yourself with a standard blade.
Top Tip, if you are trying this yourself, you could soak your towel in water and a little lavender fragrance oil.  Place the towel in the microwave for a few seconds (be careful not to set it on fire!) and then place over your entire face.   The fragrance of the Lavender oil has natural relaxing properties so it will calm you down.

When it comes to shaving, this video should help you with some great tips on the best way to remove hair from an area that can sometimes be very sensitive.



2. The Hair style

For most of us men, our hair styling does not tend to change that often, in fact for hair, most prefer short and simple.  Long gone are the days of the parting in the middle and short back in sides.   There are now infinite hairstyles that a man can choose from and each year, they are changing.   If you are looking to change your hair style or maximize your look with a different shape to suit your face.  For some inspiration, you should check out GQ's 2014 guide to hairstyles by clicking on the Source below the break.

3. The Skincare

Having supple skin on your Brides day may not be everyone's cup of tea but it can look fantastic in Brides photographs.   There are thousands of moisturizers on the market.   The best brands are the ones that you know and trust but also contain a sun protection factor.  This is especially important if you work outside or exposed to the sun.   Hit the link below the break to see the Independents top ten moisturizers for 2013.

 4.The Finger Nails

This aspect is rarely considered before the Brides day for men however think about all the photographs your hands will be in on the Brides day.   There are times when the photographer will be taking close up shots of your fingers such as during the exchanging of the rings, the cutting of the cake, raising the veil etc.  Its best not to have oil or greasy fingernails that will be forever etched in your coveted Brides photographs.   

The ultimate treatment for your nails is a manicure ( I know I can hear manly men shouting WHAT!! from here) as they give the best look to your nails and are professionally styled.   If you are brave enough to try it once, you will probably never go back to those silver nail clippers again.

A quick guide to bridal headpieces.

Veils have been a long time tradition as headwear for the official Brides ceremony. Though some modern day brides have decided to throw out the traditional thinking of the past, and go for a more modern or bohemian look. Other’s want the traditional look but want a little more personality to it. In the end it is the most special day of the brides life and shouldn’t she feel like a princess? Why not add a tiara to the top of your hair, or channel in some Gatsby by going with a feathered headband or a Juliet cap.

Bridesmaids on the other hand don’t have the opportunity to wear a veil as a headpiece, but that doesn’t leave them without options. Have your hairdresser add in some modern hairpins, or even a headband with rhinestones or lace (depending on the theme of the Brides). Don’t fret, SimplyBridal’s newest infographic is a quick introduction on popular styles and will help you figure out which headpiece is right for you.
