Perfect beard and hair for your wedding

The wedding day is one of the most important moments in a person's life, which is why every detail must be carefully curated, including the choice of beard style and hairstyle to show off at the altar.

The beard, especially for the wedding day, can add a touch of personality and class to the groom, completing his overall look; but hair also plays its part before being messed up during the subsequent celebrations.

In this article, we will explore different types of beards and men's haircuts that you can consider for your wedding, helping you find the true gentleman's option that suits your style and personality.

Men's beard and hair for weddings: our style tips

It has happened to many of your friends and now it's your turn: you will soon be the groom and you are looking for the perfect men's haircut for your wedding and the best style for your wedding beard!

What is, therefore, the best men's haircut for the wedding? And what is the perfect grooming for a wedding beard? Barberino’s suggests six different styles to have envy-worthy beard and hair on your wedding day and, of course, to look your best standing next to the bride!

 

1. Old But Gold

The “Old but gold” style: choose it if… you love tradition and don't want to make a mistake!

Born after the Second World War but still very current, this haircut, commonly called "shag" in recent years and particularly suitable for styling men's hair for a wedding, is characterized by the naturalness of the lengths, both on the sides and on top; for this reason, it involves the exclusive use of comb and scissors. Following your natural parting, you can wear your hair to the right or left. To complete the look, we recommend shaving your beard completely.

Final touch: on the day of the wedding, at most three or four hours before the ceremony, go to the barber for an impeccable shave, so avoid shaving against the grain to prevent irritation! The cut should be taken care of no more than a week before the wedding: on the morning of the big event, use a matte paste to give volume to the cut! Our advice: Barberino’s matte effect wax is the ideal product for a long-lasting, wedding-proof look!

2. Against the grain

“Against the grain” style: choose it if… you don't like conventions and are looking for an alternative look.

The main thing to grab the guests' attention during the wedding will be your beard: medium-long, razor-edged and combed to perfection. In this case, it is important to have a uniform beard, without patchy areas that could ruin the final effect.

To regulate the lengths and make your beard disciplined and tidy, we recommend consulting an expert barber who can shape it according to your features: discover our barber shops throughout Italy to arrive well-prepared for the big day!

To be paired with this “jewel beard” is an extroverted groom's cut that plays on different lengths: short on the sides (but without overdoing it!), long on top and combed back.

Final touch: this look should be reviewed at most two days before the wedding: the fade on the sides of the cut must be impeccable, while the beard must be razor-edged and well-combed.

Our advice: if you want to tame your beard and keep it in check all day, try the Barberino’s beard balm… and finally make it shinier with our Argan Oil!

3. Millennial

The “Millennial” style: choose it if… you are a precise person who loves convenience.

Watchword: neatness. A smartly used electric clipper is what you need to get a fresh look that is never predictable.

For the groom's haircut, we recommend always keeping the top part longer than the sides; the wedding beard must be short but perfectly razor-shaped.

Final touch: the fade of the haircut should be done at most three days before the wedding to avoid unwanted regrowth; particular attention should be paid to the beard, which must be short but very tidy.

Our advice: if you want to relax and be perfect on your wedding day, we are waiting for you in the shop for our full beard trim: half an hour of pure relaxation that you can enjoy alone… or share with whomever you want!

4. Vintage

The “Vintage” style: choose it if… you want to amaze your guests with a timeless look. 

The haircut is medium-long with a side part cut with a razor for a romantic Clark Gable style: final styling is therefore essential, set with a disciplining hair cream.

Final touch: this men's wedding haircut should be touched up no more than a week before the big event, while we recommend not shaving your beard in the two or three hours preceding the wedding.

Remember that in this case, the face must be completely smooth, but if you want to be daring, you can do so with an exceptional detail: well-groomed and well-shaped mustaches, even better if long and styled extravagantly! 

Our advice: the highlight of this look is the typical 1920s hairstyle, so you cannot do without Barberino’s shiny effect wax!

5. The messy look

The “messy” look: choose it if… as always, you do everything at the last minute!

For the groom's haircut, opt for a medium-long style so you can play with the final styling, which must be absolutely natural! If you use a brush and hair dryer, try not to straighten your hair too much: leave it soft and free to get a more casual look!

To avoid ruining the effect of the hairstyle, we recommend shaving your beard completely or, at most, wearing it very short and super defined: this way the look will be natural but always tidy!

Final touch: given the length of this cut, we recommend visiting the barber in the week before the wedding so the hair doesn't have time to grow too much!

Our advice is not to miss the pre-wedding ritual preferred by grooms: our Italian-style shave will give you a relaxing experience that you can also share with your best men!

6. Ivy League

The “Ivy League” look: choose it if… you love versatile and chic solutions!

An iconic and always elegant cut that adapts to any type of hair: the Ivy League cut, also known as the college cut, Princeton haircut, or Harvard Clip, was born at the beginning of the twentieth century in the most prestigious US colleges, and has never gone out of fashion: it could be the right choice for your "I do" day!

This cut is characterized by short hair and, if desired, more or less faded on the sides and longer on top. The Ivy League cut adapts perfectly to all hair types: curly, straight, thick, or fine. But that's not all: if necessary, it helps to hide thinning hair, always giving a fresh, tidy, and elegant appearance.

For the groom, it is also recommended to pair it with a very tidy beard: you can decide whether to shave your face completely, leave only the mustache and chin, or opt for a not-too-long beard.

What else to add? Long live the bride and groom... and the barbers, like ours, who take care of the groom's haircut and wedding beard, obviously!
