bride must haves

Becoming a bride has always been one of the most exciting things to think about during my childhood. It is one of a girl’s most exciting dreams, to meet that special guy to share a lifetime with. When it actually happens, that’s when it really hits you, as it did me! Haha 🙂 Today, I am going to share several items that will help you in your wedding planning, yet the majority (if not all) of these items can be used at any time and any place!

Badgley Mischka Thelma, candace hampton

Badgley Mischka

When I tell you I have always dreamed of getting married, my dream of bridal heels was very similar, if not identical to these Badgley Mischka Thelma ones! They will help elongate my legs even more and sparkle, made of silver metallic suede and clear stones.

Jewel Badgley Mischka Hunt, the beauty beau

While I love the sex appeal and elegance of the heels above, I must also take into consideration, my reception and the fact I want to dance the night away with my husband. With that in mind, the Jewel Badgley Mischka Hunt are the perfect bridal heels with comfort in mind! The wedge isn’t too tall, while being constructed with metallic drill fabric for that needed attention on my big day. WIN-WIN! These can be found here!

  7. I really need to try this ingrown hair serum especially if I ever get married one day – a bride would need the smoothest of legs, this would be a perfect product for her!

  8. Darn girl, you must be so excited and I can really sense it from reading your post too! Can’t wait until the big day is here! I am somewhat envious of all the things you can do that I can’t, that is, dress up like a princess and pamper yourself like crazy. Oh well, the day I get married I’ll have one heck of a good looking suit, haha. 🙂
    xoxo

    Congratulations girl! So happy that everything is going like you planned it. I totally agree, I remember how special my day was and it can be totally stressful to get ready for that unique day. I think that this is super useful for any ladies out there who are getting ready for their weddings. I remember the day that I was planning my wedding. It was crazy. I remember I couldn’t find my heels haha! on another note, I adore those shoes, they are so gorgeous and super verstile. You are totally right, shaving is soooo important because it just helps us feel more secure about oursleves. I had never heard of the smooth me product but it sounds great. Thank you so much for sharing babe, I loved it.

    Vanessa, xo!
