The Perfect Wedding Guest Hairstyle – 5 Things to Weigh Up
Well, here we go. The first of your mates are starting families and getting married. The celebrations that come with it follow soon enough. Everyone lets loose, and the happy couple rightly get toasted on their big day.
The questions around a suitable wedding present, usually money, something for the house, or a short city break, are probably the least of anyone's worries. What matters far more to most guests is how they turn up themselves. The perfect look, maybe a romantic one, a good quality outfit and a hairstyle to match are the core of it. But how do you go about that?
Women usually get solid advice from their friends, whether that's braids, plaited hair or an elegant updo with matching make-up. Women just know how it's done.
Men tend to approach the same situation rather differently. The rumour that men are less experienced than women when it comes to fashion is still going strong today. But why?
In 2019 that claim ought to be dead and buried. Men these days are fashion-conscious, in many cases they know how to dress and how to push their own look as far as it goes. Looking good is in. Even so, the question keeps coming up: what actually is the right hairstyle for a wedding guest?
That's exactly the subject we've picked for the Charlemagne Premium blog today, and we'll walk you through what makes the perfect wedding guest hairstyle. Enjoy the read.
A hairstyle as a wedding guest
There is no such thing as the festive hairstyle, or the classic cut for a formal occasion. As a wedding guest you're an individual. Only a look that suits you personally can make a good wedding guest hairstyle.
Which type are you, and therefore which wedding guest hairstyle
A classic side part paired with a tapered cut on medium-length hair, a fashionable undercut, or a flowing lion's mane of a head of hair. None of it rules you out. What counts is how you carry yourself and the look that goes with it.
If you're more the Nordic Viking type, longer hair works perfectly well. If you're the sporty type, a short cut is the wedding guest hairstyle that suits the occasion better. Take advice from your friends, but above all from your barber.
What should I do?
First and foremost you should look well groomed. A suit suited to the occasion in current colours, along with matching accessories, which normally shouldn't go beyond a men's watch and a pocket square, is entirely appropriate at a wedding. Even so, your own type is the deciding factor here as well. Read up on the current trend in fashion magazines and you'll find your target. A great alternative is a style consultation with a professional, though that obviously comes with a price tag. Your hairstyle as a wedding guest then gets tuned to the overall concept by an expert. Effectively a change of style.
The couple want a coordinated look
We're unanimous on this: the kind of Barbie wedding where the bride and groom demand a particular haircut from you does not fit our view of the world.
Nobody should let anyone else deal the cards when it comes to their own hair. Changing your hairstyle as a wedding guest also means that the new cut belongs to you after the wedding is over. You should never agree to demands like that. You are who you are, and if that isn't enough, you're fundamentally in the wrong place at a wedding like that.
The good old beard
Your beard is a decisive element alongside the hair on your head, and therefore alongside your wedding guest hairstyle. To get the right cut here too, your barber will be a real help. He's the professional. He knows what he's doing and what you want.
As you can read, turning up right as a wedding guest isn't all that hard. With your barber's help you'll find a fitting wedding guest hairstyle quickly. Just take the advice and let your barber's expertise work on your look. That way you can safely assume you'll bring the right appearance, and the wedding guest hairstyle that goes with it, to the big day. The care products to finish it off are waiting as always in our Charlemagne Premium shop. Because always keep one thing in mind:
"A healthy and well groomed beard is important for a real man, that's why we offer everything you need to keep yours doing so."
As barbers with more than 20 years in the trade between us, we went looking for styling & care products that convinced us 100%. There were some good products on the market, but none that really gave us everything we needed. After some thought we decided in 2014 to develop our own range. For two years we used every free minute after work at the barbershop to refine the formulations down in our cellar. When it came to ingredients, only the best was good enough for us. We bought the finest jojoba oils available in Morocco, and argan oil from Italy.
After two years and a good many attempts our first product line was ready, and it has been winning our customers over ever since. We think 98% positive reviews speak for themselves. Since the official launch in 2016 it has of course been developed further, continuously. That is one of the reasons Charlemagne Premium products have won not one but several comparison tests in recent years.
You will find all our products right here in our online store. For any questions about them, you can reach us any time at info@charlemagne-premium.com.
