Luxury groom wedding day tips are essential for any modern groom who wants to look, feel, and experience the very best on his wedding day. While much of the attention is often on the bride, today’s luxury weddings celebrate both partners equally. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every detail, ensuring you’re prepared to enjoy a seamless, five-star experience from sunrise to the last dance.
Book a Premium Suite or Private Space
Start your experience by reserving a luxury suite at your venue or a five-star hotel. Spacious, well-lit rooms are perfect for getting ready and for those iconic groom prep photos.
Professional Grooming Appointments
Schedule a classic straight-razor shave, beard sculpting, or precision haircut at a reputable barber. Add a hydrating facial and a manicure for a polished look—your hands will be in the spotlight for ring shots!
Organize Your Attire and Accessories
Lay out your custom suit or tuxedo, polish your shoes, and prep accessories like cufflinks, a signature watch, and refined cologne.
Pro Tip: Hang your suit and shirt to prevent wrinkles and use a valet tray for easy access to accessories.
Curate a Gourmet Breakfast
Arrange a high-quality breakfast—think fresh fruit, eggs, artisan pastries, and premium coffee.
Pro Tip: Avoid heavy, greasy foods to stay energized and comfortable.
Hydration and Wellness
Start hydrating early and add an electrolyte packet to your water for an extra boost. Herbal teas can also calm any nerves.
Pack a dopp kit with designer deodorant, cologne, breath spray, silk handkerchief, quality hair product, mini sewing kit, stain remover, luxury moisturizer, pain relievers, spare cufflinks, lint roller, and a small bottle of whiskey or champagne for a celebratory toast.
Pro Tip: Include a stain remover pen and backup shirt for peace of mind.
Early Morning:
Wake up early, shower with premium products, and take five minutes for deep breathing or meditation.
Mid-Morning:
Enjoy breakfast, steam your suit, lay out accessories, double-check rings and vows, and arrange for a handwritten note or luxury gift to be delivered to your partner.
Late Morning:
Allow at least 45 minutes for “getting ready” photos with your photographer. Share a heartfelt toast with your wedding party—these moments make for incredible, authentic photos.
Pro Tip: Schedule your engagement session ahead of the big day to get comfortable in front of the camera and build rapport with your photographer.
Practice Your Vows and Toasts
Rehearse your vows and any planned speeches. Speak slowly, make eye contact, and convey genuine emotion.
Express Gratitude
Thank your parents, in-laws, and wedding party with a handwritten note, small gift, or heartfelt conversation.
Mindful Moments
Steal a few minutes alone before the ceremony. Find a quiet space to reflect, breathe deeply, and center yourself.
Pro Tip: A calm, present mindset helps you enjoy the day and look your best in photographs.
Posture and Confidence
Stand tall, shoulders back, chin up—good posture radiates confidence and photographs beautifully.
Skincare and Shine Control
Use blotting papers or powder before photos, and keep a small mirror handy for quick checks.
Keep Pockets Empty
Give your phone, wallet, and keys to your best man or a trusted family member for a flawless look in every photo.
Pro Tip: For a truly memorable touch, consider a bridal boudoir session as a wedding gift for your partner.
A “first look” is a private, emotional highlight for many luxury weddings. Choose a scenic, private location, embrace the emotion, and bring a silk handkerchief for happy tears.
Pro Tip: Let your photographer know about any special heirlooms or details you want captured during this intimate moment.
Walk down the aisle slowly and confidently, making eye contact with guests and your partner. During the ceremony, focus on your partner and the commitment you’re making.
Pro Tip: If you’re nervous, focus on your partner’s eyes and take a deep breath before you begin your vows.
Personally greet and thank your guests. Enjoy the menu you’ve planned—ask your caterer to set aside a plate if needed. Hit the dance floor and celebrate; these candid, joyful moments are some of the most cherished in your wedding album.
Relax and trust your photographer. Show emotion, let your personality shine, and tell your photographer about any special requests (heirloom items, cigars, classic cars, etc).
Pro Tip: Review your VIP client perks for exclusive referral rewards and early booking access.
Arrange for a private suite or a low-key after-party with your closest friends. Before bed, cleanse your face, hydrate, and savor the first hours of married life.
If you’re planning a destination or ultra-luxury wedding, book premium transport, use garment bags and a travel steamer, arrange a private tour or spa day, and invest in a handcrafted wedding album to preserve your memories with elegance.
