Avon Fine Necklace Bridal Gift

Lauren's Avon eStore

The most romantic gift a bride could ever receive is a special token of love from her groom just before the ceremony.  Thoughtful.  Cherished.  Sentimental.  Sincere.  True lasting love.

Jewelry is always the key to her heart for special occasions or just because.  On Bridal Shop, jewelry is a sweet surprise to wear as she walks down the aisle.  On Avon, where the choice could be between fashion jewelry and fine jewelry...let's go with fine.  The necklace you see below is worth the cost.

DIY Bridal Bouquet by FiftyFlowers

Due affiliate disclosure  - I earn a commission when someone makes a purchase by clicking on an image in this post.

Fifty Flowers offers a unique take on the classic bridal bouquet - DIY.  Fifty Flowers offers Wedding Designer Packs filled with real flowers for brides to choose from, purchase, and create their own bouquets to proudly hold as they walk down the aisle.

Why go DIY, though?  According to A Practical Wedding, you are paying the estimate for the flowers and the labor the florist undergoes to make the floral arrangement.  If you pay just for the flowers and go DIY, a great deal of expenses are eliminated - a relief toward the wedding budget.  A Practical Wedding offers a step-by-step tutorial in how to create your own bridal bouquet.  If you need a live tutorial, consider YouTube (in the Search bar, type in how to make a wedding bouquet with real flowers).

Fifty Flowers offers "Make This Look" for romantic weddings, boho weddings, vintage weddings, organic weddings, classic weddings, tropical weddings, modern weddings, and industrial weddings. 

Make This Look ideas truly give the bride the chance to put her stamp on her special day.

And so if you are crafty, inspired, and enjoy taking on creative projects, especially for your wedding, Fifty Flowers may be the right fit for you!

Formal Spring Groom Apparel

Announcement - As you may have noticed, I am no longer working with JoS. A. Bank (and Francesca's) due to personal reasons.  I am now partnering with Suits Outlets for men's wedding apparel.

...Which brings me to the groom's formal spring apparel.

The theme for a spring wedding on Bridal Shop is formal casual.  In this post, I would style the groom in a black formal three-piece with tie.  This is in lieu of a formal wedding black tuxedo.  As a general consideration, black is best for the groom and his groomsmen for the traditional wedding look.

As an example -

The wedding theme tells the story of the bride and groom.  The bridal gown compliments the theme and most importantly her taste (and budget).  Yet, what about the little things that help bring out the breathtaking beauty in the bride on her most special day?

Makeup is part of the process as the bride gets ready.  So consider EMMA New York Evening Glamour Look Kit.
