It seems like someone we know is always getting married. Whether you’re a loyal member of the bride tribe or the blushing bride-to-be, honoring the big day consists of a lot more than just the wedding ceremony. From the bachelorette party to the bridal shower, planning memorable pre-marriage celebrations doesn’t have to be stressful! See our bridal celebration ideas below.

If you’re looking to plan an epic bachelorette party, why not an adults-only trip to Disney?? Kristy celebrated her sister-in-law’s upcoming nuptials with a weekend in the happiest place on Earth and had a blast! She recommends going without kids to Disney at least once in your life, because the experience is so different when you don’t have to worry about the little ones.

Make sure you grab matching magical tees, fun coordinating mouse ears, and, if you really want to get crazy, princess-themed outfits for going out at night!! We all know the bride is royalty, so what better occasion to show off your queenship.

After all of that celebrating, you’re probably going to want a little help recovery. These bachelorette party survival kits make the perfect gift for all the gals! Your bride and bridal party will be as good as new in no time with these essentials.

For a bridal shower, you’re going to want to gift something practical but something the bride wouldn’t necessarily buy for herself. How about this: a mini wine fridge with a customized wine subscription! Who wouldn’t want delicious wines delivered right to their door, especially with all that stress of wedding planning?! Don’t forget your “Miss to Mrs.” banner in case anyone forgot who all those gifts are for.

A “bride” silk robe is a must. Whether she wants to wear it on her wedding day or lounging around her house while she dreams of being the future Mrs., this is one bridal tradition you don’t want to forgo.

Games are a bridal shower must! This ring game is a fun way to get everyone involved and share a few laughs over some healthy competition.

These party favors are perfect for your bridal shower guests! Kiss the miss goodbye with Hershey’s Kisses and champagne lip balm. Pucker up!!

We are taking the classic LBD (little black dress) and putting a summer spin on it. We present to you: Little White Dresses, or LWD. Perfect for a fresh, bright, summer look, we’ve taken four white dresses and designed them two ways. Take your look from daytime to nighttime with a quick change of accessories and rock your LWD all day long.

Flowy LWD

This boho beautiful look is perfect for a day at the beach, followed by dinner out at a chic spot by the water. Exchange your sunhat and straw purse for strappy sandals and sparkling jewelry and you will be date night ready in a snap.

Dress | Sunhat | Sunglasses | Straw Bag | Sandals | Necklaces | Clutch | Earrings | Strappy Heels

Flared LWD

This flared dress is a fun, flirty look that can be dressed up or dressed down and still look fashionable. Pair with a jean jacket and backpack for a day of running errands and then throw on a lace shawl and long necklace with espadrilles at night for a backyard dinner with the neighbors.

Flared Dress | Jean Jacket | Watch | Backpack | Slip On Shoes | Lace Shawl | Tassel Necklace | Cross Body Bag | Espadrilles

Floral LWD

This floral frock is sophisticated and stylish. Add fun earrings and a leather bag for your office team meeting, and then put on some cuffed jewelry and pumps for your business dinner with the bosses.

Floral Dress | Flower Earrings | Stackable Rings | Leather Bag | Sandals | Ear Cuffs | Cuff Bracelet | Clutch | Pumps

Fitted LWD

A fitted white tank dress is just the right mix of soft and sexy. Wear it with wedge sneakers, cool shades and a nylon bag for a sporty look when you meet the girls for lunch, and vamp it up with strappy pumps, crystal drop earrings and stacked studded bracelets for happy hour cocktails at the new hotspot downtown.

Fitted Dress | Sunglasses | Bracelet | Bag | Wedge Sneakers | Crystal Drop Earrings | Stacked Bracelets | Clutch | Strappy Pumps
