They’re perfect for holding your engagement ring on your nightstand or in a safe while traveling. I had a couple of adorable ring boxes while I was engaged, but none of them would stay closed in my bag while I was traveling except for a small leather ring box like the one I designed with GiGi New York. I always like to have a box to protect my ring while I’m not wearing it like during water excursions or even while showering.

The Floral Applique Clutches: My wedding coordinator and designer helped me plan a whimsical, garden-glam themed wedding for my New Orleans ceremony. So I decided to design some beautiful, yet simple floral appliqué clutches with GiGi New York as gifts for my bridesmaids. I went with ivory so that the bags would complement all wedding color schemes for future brides. We also added metallics to appliqué to maintain the glam theme of my wedding. Plus I think a pop of metallic makes any bag look a little fancier.

These personalized wedding hashtag journals also make great engagement gifts too because you can add their special wedding wedding hashtag to the cover and then bam! It’s the perfect wedding planning book for the bride.

I went with simple white gold tassel clutches for my Cabo wedding to complement all of the different colored dresses. Also, I didn’t want the floral clutches to clash with my floral bridesmaids dresses. We added oversized tassels and gold chain crossbody straps to the metallic clutches for convenience since it was a destination wedding and I gifted them to bridesmaids to use for the whole wedding weekend.

Wedding Wednesday: 3 Tips for Picking The Perfect Wedding Gown

Happy Wedding Wednesday everyone, I can’t believe we are only two weeks shy of getting married in New Orleans.  Our garden glam design plan and all of the little details are coming together beautifully thanks to my amazing planner, Elyse Jennings. I wish I could share more of the design details with you, but since I don’t want to ruin the surprise, I thought I would share my wedding gown shopping tips with you instead. I had my final wedding dress fitting today so I can’t think of a more “fitting” time to share my dress shopping experience at Town & Country Bridal with you along with my top 3 tips for picking out the perfect wedding gown.

  1. Don’t go in blind! To ensure a better shopping experience, have somewhat of a plan. Scroll through all of your favorite wedding Instagram accounts and Pinterest to put together photos of styles and designers you can see yourself wearing. BUT, don’t be afraid to try on styles you think you won’t like in addition to your mood board. I think you might be surprised at how different wedding dresses look once you put them on your own body. I was shocked at what I ended up liking on myself, but I’m glad that I didn’t go in blind either. I gave the ladies at Town & Country Bridal a list of styles I was interested in along with some photos for reference and of course my budget. Knowing they were experts when it comes to gowns, I asked them to also pull me a couple of dresses they thought would look good on my body type. They did a fantastic job and I ended up choosing one style that I specifically had in mind for Cabo and then one that they suggested for me.

2. Be physically prepared! This might go without saying, but look nice for your appointment. Wear a little bit of extra makeup and maybe even curl your hair. It’s hard to imagine yourself in a wedding dress on your wedding day without any makeup on. Also, bring heels and the appropriate undergarments like seamless underwear, sticky boobs or a strapless bra. Lastly, it doesn’t hurt to hit the gym a few times before your appointment to help guarantee a little extra confidence! Don’t be nervous though! The ladies at Town & Country Bridal were full of genuinely uplifting compliments.

Bonus Tip: I know this may sound a little over the top, but if you know you’re getting engaged soon, I don’t think it hurts to start looking at dresses early. Just maybe don’t tell your future fiancé about it to avoid them freaking out. LOL This way you’ll be prepared in knowing what you like and how much your dress will cost. This is especially important if you want a short engagement because as I mentioned before, most dresses take up to six months so you don’t have much time play around if you have a short engagement.
