Great Wedding Find: Emergency Zit Stick

Love this new find, the Emergency Zit Stick!!! While reading the latest issue of Shape Magazine I can across a small article talking about this product. The Emergency Zit Stick can work a miracle if you wake up on the day before your wedding and OH NO there is a huge zit on your face.

The Emergency Zit Stick was made by Bremenn Research Labs and is sold for $21. This stick is a super concentrate, fast-acting formula with benzoyl peroxide and natural extracts that can reduce the redness and swelling that comes along with zits while it starts to heal the blemish. I highly suggest every bride to get her hands on a tube of this just in case she gets a pre-wedding pimple.

Little Ones: How to Get Them Down the Aisle

Tips on How to Get the Flower Girl and Ring Bearer Down the Aisle:

• Talk to them about what their duties are
• Get them excited about being in your wedding
• Show them what they will be wearing on your special day
• Have them attend rehearsal so they are comfortable in what they need to do
• Tell them that you are so excited for them to be part of your wedding
• Let them know that it is okay to make mistakes
• Introduce them to the rest of your bridal party
• Tell them a treat is waiting for them after the ceremony (have a lollipop or cupcake waiting for them once the ceremony is completed)
• If you have a wedding planner, introduce them to her/him so they know who to go to if there is any problem

SNEAK PEAK: Brittany and Chad

This past Saturday, Jen and I had the privilege of coordinating Brittany and Chad's beautiful beach wedding in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Brittany looked stunning in her gorgeous wedding dress and orchids in her hair while Chad looked handsome in his beachy attire.

The ceremony was held on the beach and the reception followed immediately at The Grille at Riverview Hotel. The food was delicious, the music by Vern from Pyramid DJs kept the crowd moving, and memories were captured by the amazing husband and wife team, The Nielsens.

Check out some of the fabulous photos The Nielsens took:

Little Ones: Flower Girl Attire

To be a flower girl is such a big honor to a little girl. She will feel so privileged and special that you have asked "her" to be in your wedding. This means she gets to live out the fantasy that every little girl has of walking down the aisle in "big girl" heels, a pretty dress, and of course hold some amazing flowers (whether it be petals to throw or a small bouquet to carry).

You want your little flower girl(s) to be coordinated with either your wedding dress or with your bridesmaids' attire. Here are some of favorite little dresses:

Cotton Organdy Wildflower Dress from JCrew

Little Flowers by Odyssey

Little Ones: Ring Bearer Attire

I just love little tuxes and suits on youngsters, so ADORABLE!!! When planning your wedding, feel free to dress your little ring bearer in either a tux, suit, or a matching outfit to your groom. Just like a tux/suit for an older man, ring bearer attire to be form-fitting and look "sharp."

Dress your little ring bearer in satin or velvet in the colder months to keep him warm and a light weight linen suit for those warmer months. I also highly suggest that you get him a boutonniere to match the other groomsman.

Here are some of my favorite "little man" outfits:

Seersucker Suit from J Crew

Black Tux from Littlegirldresses.com

Calvin Klein Gray Tuxedo from Men's Wearhouse

Great Wedding Find: SoulMates

Are you planning an outside wedding? Will you be walking through grass, dirt, sand, etc and are concerned about waking through it with your beautiful wedding shoes? Not only will your shoes get dirty but you could possible trip from the uneven ground.

Well now brides and bridesmaids you do not need to worry about walking outside. The SoleMates has made an incredible little plastic slip-on for your heels to help you through all the dirt and grime.

Here is a little background from this great wedding find's website:

"Discreet and easy to use, the SoleMates High Heeler attaches easily to most stiletto and kitten heels. By increasing the surface area on the base of the heel, it reduces the pressure on this area and prevents the heel from sinking into grass or falling into cracks.

The patented design of the SoleMates High Heeler is mechanically engineered to fit snugly on most heels and yet the flexible material grips securely without damaging the heel or compromising the ascetics of the shoe."

The SoleMates High Heeler has been featured in numerous bridal magazines and other publications. They have numerous retail locations across the country or you can order online directly from them at www.thesolemates.com.

Amazing THANK YOU letter!

Dear Jenna and Jen,

WOW! What else is there to say? You both are simply amazing. Thank you so much for giving us the wedding of our dreams. I never dreamed it could've been this perfect. Planning a wedding from out of town was trying at times but you made it happen. You were always there with a comforting email or just a cheerful voice on the other end of a phone call.

I remember when my mom called to tell me that she had hired you as our wedding planners. I was super excited. After our first "in person" meeting, I was ecstatic! I knew that we had made the right decision back then and even more so now.

The whole wedding weekend was simply perfect. Thank you both for all of your hardwork and attention to detail. You both are truly special and have a real gift. We are so sad that our wedding is over but hopfully we can still keep in touch. You are wonderful and we are so lucky to have had you with us during the whole process and on our big day. We will never forget it! The day was magical. I will always remember walking into the reception for our "sneak peek" and my eyes filling up with tears of amazement and joy. I was overwhelemed! None of it would've been possible without you and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We love you and can't thank you enough for everything!

Love,
Kendall & Trevor Heaton
