Ten Essential Essential Tips Tips For For Brides Brides Ten at Their Their Wedding Wedding at
tips to keep you looking your best
1. Comfortable shoes: One of the most essential bride must-haves is comfortable shoes. Imagine having to dance and walk around in those four-inch heels for a few hours. Sounds painful, doesn’t it?
2. Breathable gown: Much like your shoes, one of the best bride must-haves is a wedding dress that moves with you. A constricting dress will make you cringe as much as those shoes do, and tugging and jerking the fabric will damage it, not to mention alert everyone to the fact that you’re extremely uncomfortable.
3. Waterproof mascara: Oh, there will be lots of tears shed ... by you, your mother, your close friends, and family. But, you’ll be heartbroken when you see your mascara making bee lines all over your face.
4. Long lasting lipstick: From eating to kissing, your lipstick has many opportunities to fade and smear away.
5. Durbable antiperspirant: Whether your dress is sleeveless or not, antiperspirant that stands the test of time is an
absolute necessity. You want to stay clean, fresh, and sweet-smelling throughout the ceremony and reception, and one of the many wedding tips that experts suggest is to use long-lasting antiperspirant.
6. Small compact mirror: Throughout the ceremony and reception, you’ll be relieved that you had your little
compact mirror in hand. Tucked away in a small cocktail purse with your other bride must-haves, it’s just a little bit of added confidence.
7.
Aspirin or Ibuprofen: Headaches happen. And so do aching limbs - usually at the most inopportune times. And as far as valuable wedding tips go, be prepared by adding a little tube of aspirin or ibuprofen to your ‘bride must-haves’ cocktail purse. Even if you don’t need it, someone else just might.
8. Stain removal pen:
You can find these handy, little pens everywhere. Plus, they’re small enough to be tucked into your cocktail purse filled with your other ‘bride must-haves.’
9. Hairbrush/comb. Tame those frizzies and stay beautiful throughout the day. Another of my favorite wedding tips is to purchase a fold-up brush.
10. Emery board: There is nothing more annoying than a jagged nail.
These ten bride must-haves and wedding tips will ensure that you are prepared for your big day. Weather the day effortlessly by testing out your wardrobe, makeup and hair in advance as well as by packing a little cocktail purse with some of the essential bride must-haves listed above. Even if you don’t need them, you’ll be glad you had them.

Wedding Dress Dress for for Success Success stay true to your personal style Wedding For most brides-to-be, the choice of a dress is among the first and most important decisions in planning a wedding. With thousands of choices in every price range, finding the perfect wedding dress can be a difficult and time-consuming process. But by making some decisions before setting foot in a store, the search will be both easier and a whole lot more enjoyable. Start by knowing your limits. To avoid disappointment down the line, determine the maximum amount that you can spend on a dress -- and don’t forget to include all the little extras, such as undergarments, shoes, jewelry, veil, and/or hair ornaments. Next, take an inventory of your personal style. If you know that you’re not comfortable in strapless or sleeveless dresses, for example, you can immediately eliminate these options. The trick is to rule out a few style options before hitting the magazines or stores and then be open to all other options. There will be no shortage of opinions -- from mothers, sisters, friends, and store personnel -- about your choice of a wedding dress, but the decision, ultimately, is the bride’s alone. A great strategy is to be open to suggestions about dresses to try on, but reserve the right to choose the look that feels right to you. With so many potential
Beautiful Wedding Rings For a Beautiful Wedding
options, you might want to consider bringing along a camera and taking photos of yourself in the dresses that could be “contenders.” Remember: Your goal is to find a dress that flatters your body and expresses your personal style -- not to fit into a particular size. If you look ghostly in white, feel free to choose a creamier shade or a dress that has decorative accents of a different color near your neck, shoulders and face. Similarly, there’s no rule that a wedding dress has to be floor-length. If you’re planning a daytime or more casual wedding, you might want to consider a tea-length dress (one that falls a few inches above the ankle) or go even shorter. Style and fit may be the two most important factors in choosing a wedding dress, but comfort should be a close third. Ask yourself if you will be comfortable in a particular dress given the setting in which your wedding will take place. For instance, if you’ve always dreamed of an outdoor wedding, you may want forego a dress with a long, trailing train that could trip you up on your walk to or down the aisle. Even if you’re planning an indoor event, having a dress and shoes that are as comfortable as they are beautiful will greatly increase your odds of enjoying your special day to the fullest.
