All eyes will be glued to the bride and groom on this special day, which makes it important for couples to look their collective best. Brides might garner most of the attention on a wedding day, but grooms also will get their share of attention. As a result, grooms must be just as diligent as their blushing brides. To look picture- perfect, grooms may want to include these grooming tips in their preparation. HAIR Schedule a haircut with a profession- al stylist roughly a week before the wedding to get your hair shaped and trimmed. It is important to not do it the day before to avoid harsh unnatural look- ing hairlines in photos. Additionally, trendy hairstyles may show off creativity, keep in mind that photos last forever, and it's often better to stick with a classic cut. A barber or stylist may suggest styles that best suit your face shape and hair texture. Above all, the haircut should be neat. Resist the urge to wash your hair every day before the wedding. Allow some natural oils to build up and make your hair shine in a healthy way. SHAVING Shaving is another thing grooms must consider. If you have a beard, make sure it is clean, combed and trimmed. Men who shave the day of their weddings may find their skin is sensitive and irritated, which can lead to redness. Unless your facial hair grows especially fast, shave the evening before. This is a good time to splurge on a professional shave with a straight razor at a barber- shop. A hot shave from a professional will produce a close shave with the least amount of irritation when done correctly. HANDS Grooms also may want to book a manicure. Keep in mind that salons will do men's non-polish manicures and pedicures, and they can be well worth the investment. Remember to clean under the fingernails, shape them and trim cuticles. Photos of entwined hands, close-ups of the ring exchange will have guests zeroing in on your fingers. SKIN Get plenty of sleep the night prior. Being well rested will help reduce puffy eyes, dark circles and sallow skin. It will also put you in a more positive mood, which can help you enjoy the day more. The day of the wedding, shower with a mild soap. Avoid skin irritation by patting yourself dry, rather than rubbing it with the towel. Moisturize your skin to avoid dry patches with an unscented moisturizer. Reducing shine is key for wedding day photos. Rely on face and hair products that will not add unnecessary sheen to your skin or hair to avoid making you look greasy. Matte hair waxes and sprays will tame tresses but can also make your hair look matted down. Also, ask your fiancé to pick you up a package of blotting tissues if you are prone to oily skin. These absorbent, typically rice-paper sheets will remove oil from your face and keep sheen to a minimum. SMILE Make sure your teeth have been thoroughly brushed and that you have used a minty mouthwash so you're primed for that first kiss. Many grooms also opt for whitening treatments prior to the wedding so they have a dazzling smile. On their wedding day, grooms will likely be photographed more than any other time in their lives. That means putting extra effort into personal groom- ing to look their best.
