Body care
Your next job is deodorant and aftershave. It sounds overly simplistic, but the last thing you want during the day is to be feeling self-conscious and uncomfortable because you forgot to put any on. Especially if you’re going to spend a lot of the day interacting with people.
The same goes for cleaning your teeth. Remember, you should be looking and feeling your absolute best. Just make sure you clean your teeth before you put your suit on to avoid accidentally getting toothpaste on it.
Much like organising your haircare, make sure everything you need for getting ready is packed in your toiletry bag and you’ve double checked it prior to the wedding. This way you don’t accidentally leave something you’ll need behind.
Suiting up
The last part of getting ready for your wedding is putting your suit on.
Before you start getting ready, either the night before or on the morning of the wedding, hang your suit up to give any creases the chance to fall and keep everything looking its best.
If you hired your suit, keep all the bags and packaging that it came in to one side. When you take the suit off at the end of the big day, this makes it easier to organise and pack away before you return it.
Again, putting your suit on in a specific order, and making sure it looks good, is a great way to distract yourself from nerves. Once you’re ready, you just need to do a quick check in the mirror. Check your hair looks right and hasn’t got messed up too much when getting ready. You also need to make sure your tie is straight, and your suit looks neat.
Once that’s done, all that’s left is to go and start talking to guests and preparing for the rest of the day. Making sure you look your best is just one part of planning the perfect wedding day.
