When planning your wedding it is important to keep track of the many little bits and pieces. The very best parts of your wedding can be overlook until the last moment, when it might be too late to get them. Bearing that in mind, here is our guide to some of the things you may forget about before your wedding day.
Bridal Veil/Hair Accessory
You may have your heart set on wearing a fingertip length drop veil for your wedding, but every once in a while a bride changes her mind! Did you see a gorgeous floor length veil getting your dress alternated or on a wedding blog? We strongly suggest choosing your hair and veil accessory long before your wedding day so you make sure you know which one you want to wear. Your bridal stylist can help you with this to ensure you find the perfect veil to fit your style, dress, and personality.
Try the veil or hair accessory on couple of times during the process, take pictures wearing it with your dress, and make sure you get a feel for how you want style your hair. Only then can you know for sure which accessory is right for you, giving yourself plenty of time to purchase or make the perfect one.
Bridal Emergency Kit
A bridal emergency kit is probably not high in your wedding day radar. Instead, it’s a security precaution in case something unexpected happens on your wedding day.
For example, a button can fall off last minute, you forgot to brush your teeth after hurrying out the door into the waiting limo, or perhaps your wedding gown rips by accident or someone in the wedding party needs a tiny bit of more deodorant for those hot summer days.
A bridal emergency kit will come in handy for all of these moments.
Bridal Lingerie
Think about having a lingerie themed bridal shower or bachelorette party to obtain some lovely lingerie pieces. Otherwise, you will want to purchase your wedding lingerie (online or in-store) prior to the wedding and make sure it has a proper fit. This is also the perfect time to do a bridal boudoir photo shoot. It is always a great gift to give your significant other and Denver boudoir photographer, Fine Art Boudoir, suggests using your gifted lingerie for your session.
Outfits can include pajamas, robes, and even negligees. Your boudoir photographer can give you several tips on things to wear if they don’t provide a wardrobe.
Bridal Garter
The hidden item that conveys a fun tradition, can quickly be forgotten.
Sometimes mother’s of the brides have their garters from their wedding. This can be your something old. You will want to make sure not to throw the heirloom garter and if you do want to throw a bridal garter then make sure to buy another one to place under it.
Bridal Jacket or Wrap
Summer evenings can cool down depending on where you get married. Most brides forget to prepare for those nights or even unpredictable weather. A bridal coat or wrap is a great accessory to cover up and keep warm, and may be a rather luxurious compliment to your overall look.
Find out if your bridal boutique carries wraps that will compliment your dress. If not, you can find a beautiful jacket that fits your personality, style and looks gorgeous with your dress either online or at your favorite department store.
Garment/Overnight Bag
One small detail brides push off to the last minute is packing their overnight bag. There’s nothing worse than forgetting the cute pajamas or t-shirt you were planning on wearing the next day.
You will also want to remember to bring your garment bag so you can put away and transport your dress after you are done wearing it.
In Conclusion
These ideas are only a small portion of the planning for the big day. When your purchase your gown most of the bridal boutiques will be able to help you find most everything on the list. If you want to find more affordable options make sure to do your research with plenty of time before the wedding to allow for shipping. Also, don’t shy away from asking for help. Bridesmaids and mothers are always there to help and to give advice! Your wedding day should be fun and stress free!
