the essentials on the wedding day

Your wedding day is a unique and memorable moment, and it's crucial that everything is perfect, including your outfit and accessories. Here's a list of the essentials every bride and groom should have on the big day to look their best.

1. The suit

The choice of suit is fundamental. Choose a model that shows you off to your best advantage and matches the theme of your wedding. Whether you choose a classic suit, a dinner jacket or a more casual outfit, make sure it fits well. Don't forget to allow for alterations if necessary.

2. The shirt

A well-chosen shirt can make all the difference. Choose a white shirt or one in a colour that matches your suit. Check that the collar matches your tie or bow tie.

3. Tie or bow tie

Choose a tie or bow tie to complement your outfit. Patterns and colours should match your wedding theme and colour palette.

4. The shoes

Elegant, comfortable shoes are a must. Opt for leather models that match your suit. Remember to wear them a few days before the wedding to soften them up.

5. Accessories

Accessories add a personal touch to your outfit:    

  • Watch An elegant watch can complement your look while being practical at the same time.
  • Cufflinks They add a sophisticated touch to your shirt.
  • Pouch A clutch bag to match your tie or bow tie can enhance the look.

6. Belt or braces

Make sure you have a leather belt to match your shoes, or elegant straps if you're going for a vintage look.

7. Perfume

Choose a fragrance that you like and that represents you. A good scent can boost your self-confidence throughout the day.

8. Razors and skin care products

On the morning of the wedding, make sure you have all your skincare products to hand:

  • Rasoir For an impeccable finish.
  • Moisturising cream To keep your skin fresh.
  • Styling gel To hold your hairstyle in place.

9. The ceremonial book

If you have to make a speech or give a vow, don't forget to bring a notebook or book containing your notes.

10. An emergency kit

Pack a small emergency kit containing :

  • Needle and thread
  • Fabric glue
  • Dressings
  • Aspirin
  • Wet wipes

This kit can come in very handy when the unexpected happens!

The big day is full of emotions and unforgettable moments. By having these essentials to hand, you'll be ready to make the most of this unique day without stress or hassle. Remember, the most important thing is to be yourself and enjoy every moment with your loved ones!
