There is a common norm perceived by Indian culture that a groom’s outfit has to be expensive. But getting a sharp look on your wedding day doesn’t have to come at a cost. You can look dapper and exude confidence by making smart choices and sticking to your budget. Here are a few factors to consider for groom styling on a budget like renting over purchasing, going for the right fit, going for good quality accessories, etc.

Importance Of Budget-Friendly Groom Styling

 1. Consider Renting A Wedding Suit

To keep your wedding under budget consider renting a suit as it is not only a smart choice but also gives you a wide range of options because what you cannot afford to buy can be far cheaper if you rent it.

 2. Do Not Go Overboard With Accessories

A wedding is when you pamper yourself with different men’s grooming styles like watches, brooches, etc but when you are a bit tight on funds invest in wallet-friendly accessories like belts, pocket squares, ties, etc.

 3. Go For A Custom Wedding Suit

No matter even if you spend five thousand bucks on a wedding suit if it doesn’t fit you well. Fabric and fit are the most essential factors for groom styling. Choose a good quality fabric and opt for custom-made clothing. Opt for fabrics like cotton, polyester, etc. as they are affordable. You can opt for different groom wedding suit styles like three-piece suits, two-piece suits, etc.

 4. Get The Most Of Sales

Keep an eye on special offers and sales. Websites as well as offline stores often give offers periodically. You may save a lot if you can get hands-on offers.

5. Opt For A Tidy Look

A wedding outfit is not the only aspect of a groom’s styling that elevates your look. You must also look tidy. Get your nails trimmed, hit the spa and get mani-pedi. You can also use different salon services offered only for grooms like beard grooming styles, teeth whitening, de-tanning, etc.

Overview Of Budget Grooming Tips

There are many factors to consider when planning a wedding like choosing the right fabric and fit, opting for timeless accessories, getting yourself pampered with mani-pedi and other salon services, going for renting instead of buying a wedding suit. Another important aspect of groom style for a wedding on a budget is going for custom-made clothing pieces. 

Understanding Your Budget

 When planning a wedding, it might be difficult to identify the areas where you can cut down costs. Consider renting over buying your wedding suit, go for online retailers over offline as you can get myriads of options online, they offer customization services and are more affordable than offline retailers. Hire a wedding planner as they aid you in choosing the right wedding theme, right vendors for an outfit that falls within your budget.

Assessing Your Financial Limits

From destination weddings to pre-wedding photoshoots many aspects add up to the bill. Instead of focusing on exquisite wedding ideas the bride and groom should be going for an intimate wedding, opting for a basic menu for catering, conducting all the functions at one venue, keeping your decor minimal, etc.   

Affordable Grooming Options

Weeks before the wedding the bride and groom style for different haircuts, and skincare treatments, which gives time for your skin to adapt to any new treatment.

 1. Follow A Good Skincare Routine

Following a good skincare routine is one of the most important male grooming tips. Begin with cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing. Cleansing eliminates dirt and excess oil while exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells and opens the pores. Moisturizing keeps your skin hydrated.

 2. Diet And Hydration

Get a proper diet enriched in nutrients, vitamins, proteins, etc. such as green leafy vegetables, fruits, nuts and lean protein. They provide the nutrients your body needs. Also, keep your body hydrated to clear away the toxins from your body.

 3. Hair And Beard Care

Well-maintained hair is as important as your clear face. Whatever haircut you go with should complement your face cut. Also, get a haircut weeks before your big day. 

Regularly maintain your beard as it may entangle if not taken care of. Use advanced tools like electric trimmers, combs and brushes to keep it well-maintained. Use beard oil to get a soft and shiny beard.

• Be it a formal or casual wedding, shoes are the first thing that gets noticed. You can opt for any formal shoes with a formal suit. For a casual wedding, you may go for loafers.

Shopping Smart

Before shopping for a suit it is important to consider the right fabric and know your body type. Make sure that your suit fits you properly and check whether your jacket does not bite your neck, the jacket chest does not open wide and lastly, the sleeves of your jacket are neither small nor large. Choose a fabric that compliments your look and go for colours according to the season of your big day. Go for online vendors over offline stores as they charge comparatively less than offline stores.
