Timing
Haircut 1–2 weeks out; avoid experimental cuts inside three days. Align with wedding week beauty services.
Face and facial hair

Party consistency
Ushers/fathers should match the groom’s formality so wide shots do not look random.
Day-of kit
Lint roller, blotting papers, spare ties/socks as relevant.
Photos
Flash exposes oil—blot, do not add more product mid-formals.
Common mistakes
