Wedding Wednesday: Getting Ready With Style

{ Via: Pinterest }

Being married many moons ago, this "getting ready glam squad" thing did not exist. It was me alone in the bathroom doing the best makeup tricks I knew from teenage modeling days.  Even though there was a house full of relatives, I felt a bit alone. So I phoned a friend, Patti, and asked her to please join me. She and the "adult beverage" that accompanied her, made all of the difference in the world. Today's bridal parties know how to have fun.  This post features fab finds for you and your gal pals on the big day!

HERE: 12 Ways To Add The Fun To Getting Dressed

Bridesmaids Toasting Flutes 

Lavender champagne? Yes please! Every detail matters when it comes to your big day. These glasses allow you to customize them in the color and the name that you wish. Everyone loves a creative cocktail.

Happily Ever Etched Inc

Floral Robes

Actress Emily Van Camp and her girls. That smile, their robes, all equals bridal party happiness. This is the Kiss Mix print. Shop by color at

Plum Pretty Sugar

Personalized Gift Boxes

The perfect way to present your bridesmaids their gifts. 

Mod Party

Bridesmaid Robes

Call out her name. Choose your personalization and color palette. It's such a pretty and

 classic design.

Bridesmaids Bags

And a matching tote is always a nice addition to a great gift. It's cotton canvas, pretty, and oh so practical. Not to mention it is a nice way to present a gift.

Lace Robes

If you are embracing lace on your big day, here are the prettiest robes ever.  They are very special and a step above the rest.

Lily Dresses

A pretty alternative to a robe or pjs. The Lily dress ties at the shoulder and slips off for getting ready. No messing up the "do." They come in a variety of colors and pretty patterns.

Crystal Personalized Balloons

You might be wondering what balloons have to do with getting ready. For one, they seem to create instant happiness. And they make the best photo props. These are actually a decal that you put on a crystal clear balloon. Genius, don't you think? Add a fresh flower, a little greenery, and you have another added dose 

of pretty to the day.

Monogrammed Boxer Short

If your bride tribe is more the shorts and tee shirt types, these monogrammed shorts are adorable. They also give a little modesty under a robe. Your maids will wear them as sleep shorts long past the wedding.
