💼 The Groom’s 6-Month Countdown: Top 10 Grooming & Wellness Tips for Your Wedding Day
At Doorbell Barbers, we’ve spent over a decade preparing grooms for the most photographed, unforgettable day of their lives. Trust us — there’s more to looking good than just showing up in a suit.
Here’s our ultimate top 10 list to help you look, feel, and carry yourself like the groom you deserve to be.

✅ 1. Find (and Tailor) the Right Suit
A well-fitted, tailored suit makes the difference between wearing clothes and owning the room. Start shopping early so you have time for tailoring — it’s hands down the most impactful style move you can make.
✅ 2. Get in Shape (Realistically)
If you want to tone up, add a fitness routine now. Focus on sustainable, healthy changes — no crash diets. You want to feel confident, not exhausted, when you hit the aisle.

✅ 3. Brighten That Smile
You’ll be smiling in every photo. Whether it’s professional teeth whitening or whitening strips, start now to ensure a brighter, polished look by wedding day.
✅ 4. Level Up Your Skincare
Book a professional facial or set up a skincare routine with exfoliation and moisturizer. Healthy skin gives you that fresh, vibrant look that cameras (and your partner) love.

✅ 5. Shape Those Brows + Groom the Details
Get those eyebrows sculpted, tidy up ear and nose hair, and check that your nails look presentable. You want polished hands for ring exchange photos, and trust us — sharp brows subtly transform your face.
✅ 6. Shine Your Shoes
Don’t overlook your footwear. Professional shoe shines or a good home polish give you that clean, intentional, put-together finish from head to toe.
✅ 7. Book a Relaxing Massage
A week or two before the big day, treat yourself to a deep tissue or relaxation massage. It will help with stress, posture, and circulation — you’ll stand taller and feel lighter.

✅ 8. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Water is your secret weapon. Drink more than you think you need to — it keeps your skin clear, your energy up, and helps prevent dark circles from all the late nights leading up to the big day.
✅ 9. Avoid Heavy Drinking the Night Before
Skip the booze (or keep it light) the night before your wedding. You want to look bright-eyed, feel great, and avoid bloating or puffy skin. Save the big cheers for the reception.
✅ 10. Clean Up the Back of Your Neck + Around Your Ears
Most grooms focus on the front, but the back of your neck gets major attention in photos (especially during the ceremony). Book a last-minute cleanup to sharpen the lines, tame strays, and ensure you look flawless from every angle.
