Why is the wedding industry so Bride orientated?

 

I mean really? Why is everything apart from suit hire so pushed towards the bride?

 

 

 

My husband was hideous when it came to wedding planning, while every glossy magazine was basically telling me to pick and tell him later, we were constantly bickering at each other choices. Looking back though, why should he have just taken it lying down? We both footed the bill and it was his day too!

 

While looking around the National Wedding Show I noticed that there were only two stalls aimed at Grooms. The fashion show offered suit options agreed, but why so little? Why isn't there barbers offering to do the grooms hair? Why isn't there more adverts for men to get manicures for the big day? Why not have more companies that offer cars and transport for hire aimed just at the Groom?

 

 

 

 

Let's face it, wedding planning is all about the Bride, it's her day! The dresses, the hair, makeup, car, shoes, tiara & accessories. I know women are accepted for dreaming of their perfect day but what about the guys that do it too? What about gay couples? Why do they have to wade through hundreds upon hundreds of companies aimed at the Bride?
