Grooming the Groom for His Big Day!

The groom has to look equally as handsome as the bride for their wedding day.   Here are some wedding tips for the groom to help him look extra handsome.

Make sure his suit or tuxedo is ironed   – You may need to remind him to take his outfit to the dry cleaners a week before the ceremony.

Hair – If your groom is thinking of going with a new haircut, make sure he tries it out a few months before the big day.   You’d hate to have him have to buzz cut his hair since the new do didn’t fit him.   If he wants to stick with the same do,   make sure he makes an appointment a week before the wedding to get a haircut.

Facial hair – I’ve seen some wild eye brows on some men!   Now I’m not saying they need to go get those things waxed, but at least take a scissors to the brows and give the hairs at the end a little cutting.   If there are some strays that are creating a unibrow or unruliness above or below the brow line, encourage him to tweeze those things.   Trim all nose hairs and ear hairs the day of the wedding. If your man has a beard talk about cleaning it up or maybe shaving it off the day of the wedding. 

Good smells – This is a given, but he should shower the day of the wedding and spray on some nice smelling cologne.   Also, a good teeth brushing and flossing before the ceremony will guarantee a nice first kiss as a married couple.

Hands and feet – Ok, I had to go here…please go get a mani/pedi!   There is no need to tell your friends you did this if you are embarrassed.   AND no, you don’t need to get clear polish or any other polish for that matter on your toenails or fingernails…unless you want.   You will now be looking more at that ring on your married finger so you want your nails to look nice.   Plus, rough feet are not sexy in bed.   Get those feet smooth and toenails cleaned up. 

Help to organize him with his must haves – Make a groom box filled with all the things he will need for the wedding. If your groom is like my husband, sometimes they don’t have the best of memories!   Take time to make a list of items he needs and start collecting those things in a tub or box.   Then all he has to do it grab the box the day of the wedding and he will have all he needs.   You can put his shoes, tie, copy of the vows, and a few man products in his box.   This may also be a good place to add a little note for the groom to be or one of your favorite pictures together.

Here’s why you should have a small wedding in Pismo Beach Small weddings are the way to go these days! We aren’t just saying that because small weddings have been our thing since we started our business back in 2015. A small wedding can have the same parts of a large wedding - unforgettable moments, celebration with friends and family and the start of the rest of your life together. But, small wedding have a few more benefits like - less stress, less more, and more of the two of you and what you want for your wedding! We love the scenery of the Central Coast for small weddings. There are million dollar views - from your toes in the sand at one of the beach locations, to overlooking the ocean, to shaded eucalyptus trees, and jagged cliff sides. Small weddings are our favorite because the couple is free to focus on the most important things, like having their day, their way, spending the day with the people who truly matter, and having an amazing day packed with lasting memories. What Is Driving the Trend Toward Smaller Weddings? Several factors are behind the increasing trend of smaller weddings. Modern couples are redefining what it means to celebrate love, and in most cases, they focus on quality over quantity. Small weddings have become for popular and couples embrace fewer guests and find the beauty of intimate gatherings. Changing societal norms and the desire for unique, personalized experiences also make smaller weddings an attractive option. How Do Small Weddings Create More Meaningful Connections? Small weddings foster more meaningful connections by allowing couples to spend quality time with each guest, creating an intimate and personal atmosphere. With fewer attendees, conversations feel more genuine, and guests feel truly valued and appreciated. Some couples will have a few day long celebration for their wedding - starting a few days before the wedding with wine tasting or seeing the sites of the Central Coast, then relax on the beach the next day. After some fun in the sun, it's wedding day. The day will end with a group dinner or casual private reception. Then, the guests will leave and the couple has a few more days to celebrate their honeymoon in Pismo Beach or other beach location. This setting also encourages deeper interactions, making it easier to share special moments, heartfelt toasts, and personal stories. Without the hustle and chaos of a large event, couples and their loved ones can be fully present, strengthening bonds and making the celebration even more memorable. How Does a Smaller Guest List Reduce Wedding Stress? Planning a wedding can be quite challenging. It is easier for couples to plan their weddings with smaller guest lists, as this dramatically lowers their prospects of worrying. Incorporating fewer guests into a wedding means that there are fewer logistical elements to take care of, such as catering, seating arrangements, accommodations, and more people to please. This way, couples can spend more time and energy making their special day more unique instead of fretting over accommodating numerous people. A more personal gathering helps create a homely and calming vibe, giving the couple a chance to make the most of each interaction with their guests. Most importantly, a smaller guest number means that there would be fewer changes needed at the last minute, which translates to lower expenditure and costs. Hence, all attendees, coupled with the couple, can fully enjoy themselves without feeling the pressure of the wedding arrangements. What Are the Financial Benefits of Hosting a Small Wedding? Hosting a small wedding can be a cost-effective choice, offering couples the chance to allocate their budget more intentionally. With fewer guests, expenses for catering, venue size, and decor are reduced, freeing up funds for other priorities such as an unforgettable honeymoon or investing in a dream home. This financial flexibility allows couples to create a celebration that reflects their values and vision without overspending. Celebrate your love story with us!
