Wedding Day Handbag

As if you need an excuse to buy a sweet little bridal handbag, but there are a few things you need to have with you on your big day.

1.  Lipstick.  Ask your makeup artist about this during your trial.  She may include it in your fee or ask that you purchase it separately.

2.  Powder or blotting papers.  Depending on the time of year you marry and your complexion you may want to have have something to keep away the shine.

3.  Hotel room key card.  Just in case you want to sleep later.

4.  Hankie.  Keep it in your purse until you get to the church, then carry it down the aisle.

You shouldn't need:

1.  Your cell phone.  As long as your wedding planner has all of the important phone numbers there won't be a need for it.  Plus, isn't everyone you love with you?

2.  Your camera.  Every single guest will have a camera and you've actually hired someone to take pictures.  Save your battery for the honeymoon.

Your Wedding Planner will have:

Everything you can imagine...  safety pins, needle and thread, chalk, mints, scissors, pins, etc. etc. etc.

We Love This Idea

There were so many highlights to Betty and Jarrett's wedding earlier this month.

One we wanted to point out was Betty's choice of bridesmaids dresses.

Betty worked with Mia at Garnish Boutique to give her girls options on color and dress shape to find the one that worked the best for their figure and skin tone.  In her colors of coral and pink she chose a few designers and a few colors and the dresses were created from there.  The effect was unified, yet unique and we know the girls will wear these dresses again!
