Grooms Prepare for the Big Day Too

The magical day of your wedding doesn’t just have to be the bride’s big day, it can be the grooms too. A lot of times there is a big emphasis on the bride, and making the day as special as possible for her. The focus is on her, and her getting ready process. Not to mention the abundance of pictures taken beforehand with her and her bridal party. But what does the groom do to prepare? Here are ways the groom can not only do to help with the planning of the wedding, but also prepare for HIS big day. 

Divide and Conquer

As a couple preparing for The Big Day, there are many ways the bride and groom can divide the wedding planning. Dividing up the tasks is key to planning something truly spectacular, and also to limiting stress. The bride doesn’t have to be the only one doing all the planning. So how can the groom help do his part? We will tell you. 

Putting Together the Budget 

Making a budget for the wedding is crucial because it establishes a spending limit, and also helps you organize all the expense for the big day. The groom can do his part by helping to put this together. 

Reserving the Valet 

The groom can also take responsibility for reserving the valet for the wedding party to and from the venue. It's important to find a valet service that is reliable and will get you where you need to be on time and in style. We recommend using Charleston Luxury Valet's services. Their exquisite fleet of vehicles will provide a luxurious ride for all guests. Each vehicle is detailed before every event and is stocked with chilled bottled water. 

Assembling the Groomsmen

Before planning any kind of bachelor party, you will want to assemble your groomsmen and give someone the role of best man. Putting together a group of men who will support you on your big day is very important.

Planning the Perfect Bachelor party 

Planning a bachelor party to remember forever can also be a task for the groom. When planning, make sure you find a venue within budget that can host you and your groom's party, and that fits all your needs. Haberdash offers 3 packages, each suited to make a groom’s bachelor party one to remember.

Thanks to Haberdash’s sister company, Lashes and Lace, Groom to Be Facial’s can be reserved with one phone call. Who wouldn’t want a facial and massage to calm those pre-wedding jitters?

Groom Tips for the Big Day

Trends A Groom Should Wear on His Wedding Day

Summer groom wedding trends are fading into the distance, and another wedding season will be here before you know it. For grooms-to-be, that can mean you get a head start on your 2020 groom look to wow the love of your life. Choosing what to wear on your wedding day is a big decision in your wedding planning. Although you may have a trendy everyday style or a dressed-down look, you may not have found the perfect inspiration for your groom attire.

Wedding suit trends change from year to year, so you want to ensure you’re up to speed on the latest in groom fashion before these exciting 2020 wedding suit looks pass you by.

Tweeds

Maybe tweeds will never truly go out of style. Take advantage of the opportunity to incorporate this classy and rustic fabric into your 2020 groom attire. The tweed trend reached its peak in 2017 but will continue to add a stylish touch to your groom suit throughout 2020. Consider tweed vests for you and your groomsmen to create a rustic, pastoral look for an outdoor wedding.

Tailored and Slim-Fitting

Although slim fitting suits are still trending, the extra-slim look seems to be giving way to a classically tailored fit. You may remember seeing suits bordering on too small from around 2010 to 2015, and possibly even more recently. If you want to go with this look, choose a more bespoke fit, possibly with higher waisted pants.

Double Breasted

 The double breasted suit continues to increase in popularity, and a distinguished tailored look will fit right in with this classic style. Worthy of mention, however, is the fact that the fashion world has often been divided over the double breasted suit. It has often been used in charicatures and extreme ways over the years.

However, you can bring back the double breasted suit with a more subtle style, by choosing a classic fabric and cut. Your partner will be in love with your look and so will guests when leaving the groom suite!

Non-Traditional Colors

Although black tuxedos or wedding suits are common choices for grooms (and the blue wedding suit for almost a decade), the trend is to look for something different for your 2020 groom attire. Burgundy and green are popular currently, and this trend is expected to increase with other unusual wedding suit colors.

Dinner Suits

Although bold colors are trending, a surprising addition to 2020 wedding suit trends is the classic dinner suit for black-tie weddings. Similar to the double breasted suit, the dinner jacket is a look that can go south quickly without these guidelines in mind:

• Not before 6 pm.

• Not white.

• No rentals.

• No notch lapels.

• No clip-on bowtie.

• No belt.

• No cuffs.

• No patent leather shoes.

• No matchy-matchy with your partner.

Use discretion with a dinner suit, but this can be a great groom look, as long as you opt for a tailored fit, with no bells and whistles. 

Are you ready for your wedding? Make sure to reserve the best groom suite possible to give you a relaxing start to a busy day. Haberdash offers customers comprehensive plans and fair pricing.

The BEST Groomsmen Gifts

Looking for an amazing gift for your groomsmen? Look no further!!

Our partner company, Groovy Groomsmen Gifts, specializes in all things GROOM. Their products are customizable, extremely high quality, and are sure to wow your groomsmen.

I just ordered the Triple Threat Gift Box for my husband and he LOVED it. So much so that he placed a custom order of the boxes to sell at Haberdash. The packaging is so nice and the real wooden box is something that can last you forever. It would look great on your dresser to hold watches, cuff links, etc.

The flask is great quality -very heavy duty metal- and can be engraved with anything you’d like! My husband was especially impressed with the pocket knife. For the price of the box (a small $59.99) I have to say we were beyond thrilled with the weight and sharpness of the knife. The knife alone should cost more than the total package. So impressed!

If flasks & pocket knives aren’t your thing, no worries! Groovy Groomsmen Gifts offers a HUGE selection of groomsmen gifts. Make sure to check out their personalized whisky stones, coolers, travel bags, & watches. Trust me on this one - I have tested all groomsmen gift sites and this is the only one that far exceeds my expectations. We want to the best for our grooms & this is the place to go!
