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!!

It’s wedding season! Family, friends, old college room mates, your favorite barista – everyone seems to be getting married, right? And while that means love is in the air, it also means so is the stress of trying to find the perfect dress for every wedding you have to attend. And because everyone you know has totally different tastes and style preferences, you’re probably attending weddings at tons of different venues. We’ve been there before and we’re here now to save you some stress…we’ve rounded up wedding guest dress styles for whatever type of wedding you’ve got on the calendar. Check out the styles below.
Beach Wedding
A cool breeze and warm sunshine are pretty much a given at a beach wedding. Light, flowing fabrics are best for comfort and style. Bright blues, cool cerulean colors, and gold and straw accents will blend beautifully in pictures with the beach backdrop.

Sheath Dress | Wrap Slip Dress | Tie Belt Wrap Dress | Ombre Pleated Dress |Necklace | Bracelet | Sandals | Straw Bag
Traditional Wedding
For a traditional wedding in a house of worship, a classic look is a great go-to. Pink and red shades evoke the vibes of love, while simple, sparkling accessories keep the look clean and sophisticated.

V-Neck Maxi Dress | Shirred Waist Ruffle Dress | Tiered Ruffle Cami Dress | Cap Sleeve Sheath Dress | Necklace | Earrings | Strappy Heels | Clutch
Nature Wedding
If your wedding hosts are thinking outside of the box and are holding the ceremony in nature, like at a vineyard or in a garden, floral frocks are a fun look to rock. These sweet, charming dresses will look gorgeous surrounded by the grape vines in a winery or the decorative topiary at a botanical garden.

Smocked Waist Midi Dress | Long Sleeve Babydoll Dress | Puff Sleeve Shirred Bodice Dress | High-Low Maxi Dress | Earrings | Clutch | Espadrilles
Backyard Wedding
For a more laidback, backyard ceremony, a simple dress can go a long way. Flexible fabrics will allow you to move easily if you care to get in a game of cornhole or play tag with the little ones. Pair with nude accessories and simple jewelry and your look will say “cool yet chic.”
