TOP 10 GROOM TIPS FOR THE BIG DAY | WEDDING ADVICE FOR MEN

Let’s face it — when it comes to wedding talk, the spotlight usually lands on the bride. But hey, grooms have a huge role to play too! Whether you're cool as a cucumber or feeling the nerves creeping in, here are some smart, stress-busting tips to help you look and feel your best on the big day. Because let’s be honest, you deserve to shine too.

1. Sort Your Suit Early

Don’t leave this to the last minute. Give yourself time to try different styles, get proper fittings, and make adjustments. Whether you're going classic in a black tux or adding your own flair with a velvet jacket or patterned tie, make sure it fits like a glove. Comfort and confidence are key.

2. Get a Fresh Trim – But Not the Day Before

Book your haircut a few days before the wedding. That gives it time to settle — and avoids any freshly-shaved disasters. Same goes for beards. If you're rocking facial hair, make sure it’s tidy and well-groomed.

3. Plan Your Vows (Or Your Speech)

Winging it might seem cool in the movies, but nerves on the day can trip up even the most confident speaker. Jot down your thoughts, practise out loud (in the shower works a treat), and speak from the heart. Trust us, your partner will notice.

4. Be Present in the Morning

The wedding morning flies by. Take a moment with your mates, have a proper breakfast (yes, even if you’re nervous), and soak it all in. This is your day too. If someone offers you a cheeky dram to calm the nerves, enjoy it — but go easy!

5. The Rings! (Don’t Forget the Rings)

Classic mistake. Make sure you or your best man has them safe and sound. Triple check. Then check again. Enough said.

6. Wear Something Personal

Add a little touch that’s just for you — whether it’s your grandad’s cufflinks, a custom embroidered message in your jacket, or a splash of your signature cologne. It’s all in the details.

7. Have a First Look (If You Want To)

Not everyone does it, but seeing your partner before the ceremony can ease nerves and give you a quiet, emotional moment together. It’s not traditional — but who says you have to follow the rules?

8. Don’t Stress About Tears

Real men cry. Weddings are emotional — and there’s nothing more powerful than showing your feelings. If you tear up at the altar (or during your speech), own it. That’s love, mate.

9. Dance Like No One’s Watching

Whether you’re a two-step master or a shuffle king, enjoy that first dance. Don’t overthink it. Smile, hold your partner close, and just be in the moment. Everyone’s rooting for you.

10. Remember What It’s Really About

With all the planning, nerves, and logistics, it’s easy to forget — the day is about you and the person you love, starting a new chapter together. Everything else is just decoration.

So gents, whether you're the laid-back type or secretly love a checklist, just remember this: show up as your best self, be kind, and savour every second. The day might fly, but the memories will last a lifetime!
