Wedding Hair Combs
When planning for our wedding, we often forget about the little things. Our main concerns are our dress, the bridesmaids, the reception, and the ceremony. When planning for my own wedding, I almost forgot my hair accessories. I love the stylish combs and pins that are available and often used in the brides hair. They are so elegant and beautiful. The nice thing about these accessories is they can range from many different price ranges.
This particular comb is $235 at Perfect Details. However, I have seen very similar ones for as low as $44.95 at Advantage Bridal. Advantage Bridal has one of the biggest selections I have seen and their prices are very reasonable.
When planning for your big day, don't leave out the little stuff. Keep in mind that you need hair accessories, jewelry, your something borrowed, something old, and something blue.

Wedding invitations are usually sent out just 2-3 months prior to the wedding. Sometimes that is just not enough time for your guests, especially those out of town guests.
These cards can be found at Jean M. The square card can be ordered in several colors. For more information please visit the Jean M website. The website offers some wonderful ideas for any upcoming wedding.
If cards are not something you are interested in, many brides also send out magnets. Another popular way to announce your wedding date.
Celina Cubic Zirconia Earrings
Need earrings for your wedding day? These cubic zirconia earrings from Anna Bellagio are stunning. They have many assorted pairs of earrings for under $60. Many woman go with the simple studs or pearls on their big day, however, on my big day I wanted something dramatic. My dress had a lot of beading and detail so I knew I couldn't wear too much. I decided to go with some chandelier earrings and a simple bracelet (my something borrowed).
Anna Bellagio is a great company. They gift wrap your purchase, the shipping is fast, and have many earrings to choose from. The best part about it is they don't tarnish or discolor if you keep them in their original wrapping. If you would like more information on this product please click here. Another great company, a company where I purchased my earrings from, Wedding Sparkles. I bought my earrings for under $25 and received more compliments on those than the real white gold bracelet I was wearing. You may want to give that website a look.
Touch Ups by Benjamin Walk (Sharmain)
What good is a beautiful dress if you don't have any killer shoes to wear it with? This company Touch Up is one of my favorites for bridal shoes. These exact shoes that I have posted are the shoes I wore to my very own wedding. They are very inexspensive, coming in at just under $60. The price varies on several websites. I purchased these from Bellissima Bridal Shoes for $56.99. However, they are listed on a few other websites for a few dollars less. Shoe Buy has them listed at $53.95.
I wore these shoes all day long without once taking them off. I can honestly say they are one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Of course at the end of the night my feet were sore, but mostly just from being on them all day. I even bought slippers to change into, but did not have to change because they were so comfortable. The best part about them is they are cute!!! I received many compliments on them and I am happy I chose them.
These peep toe heels come in at 2.62 inches in height. They come in white, gold, silver, and black. Sizes range from 5-11. For a better look, click here.

My favorite part of this dress is that sweetheart neckline. It allows for some cleavage, but still says “elegant.”
Many of the gowns from the Jacquelin Exclusive line are very affordable and look great. The designers have a great sense of what brides are looking for, yet keep the dress within the realm of fashion. If you are interested in knowing more about this dress please click here.
Matthew Christopher Collection
Shear elegant… This dress has so many distinct features that make it breath taking. The fact that it is a mermaid silhouette means it hugs the body. If you are not looking for a dress that shows all your curves this is not the dress for you.
One of my favorite details about this dress are the ruffled layers at the bottom of the dress. It really adds to the dress and gives it so much character. Need I say more? If you would like more information on this dress, please click here.

The Jim Hjelm Collection
Jim Hjelm has some very beautiful dresses! This dress caught my eye when I was wedding dress shopping. The sweetheart-strapless neckline really causes you to fall in love with this dress. It has some minor beading along the top. Because it does not have too much beading going on it looks great with accessories. When purchasing my wedding dress, I had a lot of detail in the top half of my dress so I chose to wear a pair of large chandelier earrings and skip out on a necklace. However, any accessories would look great with this gown.
Jim Hjelms gowns are designed by Francesca Pitera. “I like to play with the balance of the latest trends and classic styles to create timeless yet unique gowns.” If you would like more information on this gown please click here.
