Personalized Wedding gift ANNIVERSARY gift par DomesticNotions Day Of Wedding Planning | Wedding Day Advice | Wedding Tips When I started planning my wedding, I had these romantic notions that I would begin my wedding day leisurely picking out flowers with my bridesmaids at a local farmer’s market, and then we would arrange all of our centerpieces and bouquets ourselves while sipping mimosas and lounging in matching bathrobes at the hotel. Then we would be transported to our hair salon on a fluffy cloud carriage pulled by miniature unicorns…you get the idea. These ideas were all just slightly insane. Thankfully, I hired a professional florist to do the flower picking for me. We at the BRIDEfinds office have been down the aisle a time or two — trust us, your wedding day will be crazy and borderline chaotic. You won’t have a lot of time to stop and smell the roses. Editors’ Pick: ‘Wifey’ terry-cloth hoodies; Plum Pretty Sugar robes. Make your bridesmaids wear something similar for great group shots, too. 2. Always be prepared. 3. Stick to the basics. 4. 5. Pace yourself… it will be a long night. 6. 7. 8. 9.
