5 tips for the groom: how to arrive prepared for your wedding

Pre-wedding grooming: here are some tips for him ahead of the big day

As the wedding date approaches, it is not just the bride who needs to worry about preparing as best she can for what will be one of the most important days of her life. In fact, future husbands also have every right to take care of themselves, to dedicate a little time to their face, beard, hands, and hair, and arrive at the big day not only in love, but also groomed from head to toe.

For all grooms-to-be, we are sharing 5 tips to prepare as best as possible ahead of your wedding day. 5 simple steps, from skincare to soul-care, to ensure you reach the altar with an impeccable and relaxed look. 

Taking care of your face

To prepare your facial skin, it is important to plan ahead, because it is not enough to use a moisturizer just a few hours or days before. In fact, the skin needs to be cleansed and hydrated daily and exfoliated with a scrub or gommage once a week to remove dead cells, stimulate cell renewal, and arrive at the altar with healthy, clean, and radiant skin. For an extra treat, we suggest our Facial Treatment with anti-aging mask, for smoother, oxygenated, and renewed skin.

Grooming your hair (a week before)

Hair is, along with the suit, a key protagonist of the masculine look, which is why you need to choose your styling with care, without giving in to experiments you might regret and without resorting to DIY. The first rule is to rely on professionals by turning to your trusted barber and booking your appointment about a week before the big day, so the haircut has time to settle naturally. For the final touches, there is always time, and you can book a second appointment for the day before the wedding or for the day itself, even on a Sunday, as our barber shops are open every day.

Caring for and nourishing your beard

The beard, like the hair, is a very important detail of the masculine look. In addition to a clean cut tailored to your face shape to enhance your features, a good rule is to nourish and hydrate it daily, especially in summer, when high temperatures, the sun, or swimming can contribute to weakening the hair. Most importantly, do not leave anything to chance and use specific products, such as the Barberino’s hydrating beard balm.

Don't forget your hands

Hands, often overlooked by grooms, actually play a key role during the ceremony and become the focus of the most important moment: the exchange of rings. This is why it is essential to take care of them, not only by hydrating nails and skin in the days before the wedding, but also by choosing a manicure treatment suited to your needs, so as not to leave anything to chance and be impeccable down to the smallest detail. 

Watchword: relax

Organizing a wedding is often a source of stress, and the excitement of the big day adds to this. To arrive at the wedding feeling more relaxed, it is therefore important to take some time for yourself, carving out spaces where you are not overwhelmed by tasks, deadlines, messages, or constant incoming emails. It is precisely to give our guests a bit of relaxation that we created the “digital detox” initiative. Upon entering one of our barber shops, you have the option to hand your cell phone to our staff and collect it at the end of your treatment, allowing you to unplug for a while and recharge while our expert barbers take care of the groom-to-be.
