There’s a lot to do to get ready for your big day. Trust me, I get it… I am right in the midst of planning my wedding and while it is exciting and fun, it can also be a little overwhelming. As I’ve started dipping my toes into this whole wedding planning thing, I thought I’d round up a few of my must-haves for my fellow brides to be.

1. What to Wear Under There

Many of us brides to be start new diets and workout routines leading up to the big day, but let’s be honest… a little shape wear under our dress never hurt anybody! Since photos from your wedding day are something you will cherish forever, you’re going to want your dress to look as perfect as possible. This Maidenform bra is comfortable, yet has firm control (think Spanx) with minimal seams for a seamless (lol, had to throw that pun in there) and smooth look. Get a bra like this one here.

2. Pop the Cork

A wedding is definitely something to celebrate! And there’s no better way to celebrate than with some bubbly prosecco. This sparkling wine from Cinzano is sure to please! Pop the cork and pour yourself a glass. Cheers! Grab a bottle here.

3. Something Blue

You know what they say… something old, something new; something borrowed, something blue. And don’t forget the penny in your shoe! Babbleboxx has “something blue” covered with this pretty Diamonds International bolo bracelet. This product is offered in various carat sizes, but with affordable price points. Plus, the adjustable closure is simple to use and fits a wide range of wrist sizes! Click here to browse the Diamonds International website.

4. Weddings Tips & Inspiration

Like I mentioned, the wedding planning process is a joyful time, but real talk… It can also be a little stressful. It can be hard to know where to start! BRIDES magazine is a great resource for inspiration and tips on everything leading up to your big day as well as your honeymoon. Click here to get your subscription!

5. DIY Hair Removal

Getting a wax before your wedding day is pretty commonplace. However, this can get expensive and for some people it may seem a bit invasive. Or, if you have a slightly delayed or longer honeymoon, you may need a touch up. Enter Nair wax strips, an easy-to-use (and affordable!) at home alternative. I’d recommend doing a trial run before the big day to make sure they work for you and that you get the hang of it! Click here to purchase and read the instructions on how to get the perfect wax.
