Did We Mention that Planning a Wedding
can be a Full-time Job?

15. Attendants Gifts
Choose something personalized with name and customized for each person's unique personality.

17. Break in your shoes.
To reduce the risk of blisters and sore toes, wear your new shoes around the house.  To keep them clean, wear them in carpeted areas.  Scuff the bottoms with sandpaper, if they are too slippery.  Believe it or not, ballet slippers are not appropriate for the wedding day; choose shoes that will provide cushioned support.  Consider changing into decorated sneakers at the reception (after the first dance).

18. Purchase Gown Preservation and Bouquet Preservation Kits
(or drop a "hint" to your bridesmaids - Preservation kits make great gifts!) It is important to know how you want to care for you gown and flowers after the wedding as stains can set permanently in your gown very quickly, and the flowers need to be preserved promptly!  Ask us about our economical and beautiful preservation options.
