Polish your look- Dress to kill with a little help from our resident wedding stylist
If you’re not used to paparazzi following your
every move or crowds hanging onto your every
word, then get ready to find out what it feels like.
You and your bride will be treated like
celebrities on your wedding day, and as
it unfolds you’ll be the subject of thousands
of photographs and at the center of all the attention.
Don’t let the limelight overwhelm you; revel in it
by looking your best.
Start with your birthday suit. The months leading up to your wedding offer the perfect opportunity to get in shape. You can easily lose 1 to 2 pounds every week, and put on muscle doing things you love to do like hiking, biking, rowing etc… So get up and get out there, you’ll look better and feel better.
When you’re satisfied with the shape you’re in, (and at least 3 months before your wedding) choose a suit or tux that fits like a glove. The old saying “clothes make the man” doesn’t always hold true, but having an outfit that’s stylish and well-fitting can boost your wedding day confidence through the roof. Remember to set up a final fitting two weeks before your wedding day in case or weight changes.
Choose a shirt and tie that fit the style you’ve chosen. Consider buying a second shirt in case of unexpected rips, spills or warm weather.
A formal tux looks great with a white shirt, silk neck tie or bow-tie, and a cummberbund or vest.
A Semi-Formal suit is made to show-off white, colored or lightly patterned shirts and coordinating ties.
A casual suit-coat and most other casual or alernative outfits require a shirt that is classy and comfortable, and can be worn with or without a tie.
Once you have the basics down choose your accessories. You’ll need stylish shoes, socks, and cufflinks to pull your look together. Pick up at least two new pairs of socks that match your shoes.
Get your hair-cut one week before your wedding, so it looks natural on the big day.
Put together an emergency kit with a hair comb, toothbrush, floss, breath-mints, deodorant, stain-lifter, and a traveling sewing kit. Give it to your Best Man to keep track of.
