One of the biggest tips for brides when they find shoes for their big day is to wear them in before your big day. As women, we know that in general, shoes may feel like the most comfortable pair in the world when you try them on. You look forward to wearing them on a big night out. You slip them on, go out and an hour later you want to rip them off and burn them at the stake. It’s always good to wear them in by walking around the house for a couple of days.
Another shoe problem that many brides have unexpectedly is foot sweat. I know, I know, doesn’t sound very pretty. However, whether you are having a wedding in the middle of the summer or an indoor winter church wedding, standing around for hours can cause unwanted foot moisture. This can cause your foot to slip to the front of your shoe, cause blisters and pain. What should you do to avoid this? Make sure you or your planner add foot spray to your wedding day survival kit. The best kind that keeps your foot dry and doesn’t leave a colored film is athletes’ foot powder spray.
It is in spray form but when it dries on your foot it becomes a colorless powder that will not leave your feet looking “ashy”. The spray can be found at any Target, Walmart or grocery store in the foot care isle and usually costs about $4. Believe me, it will be $4 well spent!
This season’s hottest trends for fashion are ruffles and the color grey. These are two trends that I am more than willing to follow (even after they aren’t officially trends anymore). How can you incorporate these trends into your wedding? The most obvious answer is in your dress. Many wedding dresses have graced the runway this year featuring ruffles, the color grey or both. Another way is to have greys as your color palette for the reception. Although this may sound drab, it can actually be very chic. If only using grey isn’t your thing, try using it with a pop of color like purple, orange or red!
So as a “vertically challenged” woman, it took a lot of thought to find the best dress style for my body type. Shopping can become tedious very quickly if you don’t realize that not everyone looks good in everything. More importantly, there are styles that look best on your body type. You just have to figure out that style. I found this video that walks you through the different dress styles so that you can pick the best one for you. Happy Shopping!
Instead of gold or platinum, how about titanium?! Titanium wedding bands are beautiful and come in many different designs and styles. They are constructed using Aircraft Grade Titanium. You can say your wedding bands are like the love you have for each other… unbreakable!
What makes it so great is that is extremely light weight. They only weigh 1/3 as much as gold. Titanium rings are also allergy free, hypoallergenic and non-magnetic. Although most sites claim that titanium rings are scratch-resistant, they do circum to the normal wear and tear just as gold and platinum. You can find thousands of styles for as low as $29.
One bit of advice: Be sure to get sized because the rings cannot be resized.
How to save even more: Check auction sites to find rings sold by manufacturers and jewelers for even more savings.
The best way to save money on flowers is to choose from what’s in season. Flowers get costly when you want zinias in the winter or jasmine in the spring. Here are some beautiful flowers that are in season for the winter and some gorgeous bouquet examples.

This is great for a couple of reasons:
1. You can put them in Bridesmaids goodie bags. They can wear them after everyone gets their pedis!
2. You can buy a pair to match every outfit for you honeymoon. They are super easy to pack.
3. If you are having an outdoor wedding (especially a beach wedding), you can have a couple of extras on deck just in case someone needs a pair.
4. You can slip them on for your reception, so you feet can get a little reprieve while you are dancing up a storm.
Look for me, because I will definitely be stocking up!
