Having a guide and/or checklist for you as the bride for the week of your wedding can not only do wonders for your stress level, but also gives you more time to enjoy having all of your family and friends in Orlando for the wedding week. I personally had a checklist my sister in law created for me for my wedding week and I can’t tell you how much it actually saved me from forgetting things.

2020 is only weeks away and Pantone has shared the color of the year. ‘Classic Blue’ is a color that has caused a bit of confusion. People have been sharing on social media they wanted a warmer color, richer, or even ‘prettier’ color. But we have to disagree. Blue is the new black. Pantone describes Classic Blue as '“Imprinted in our psyches as a restful color, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue brings a sense of peace and tranquility to the human spirit, offering refuge. Aiding concentration and bringing laser-like clarity, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue re-centers our thoughts. A reflective blue tone, Classic Blue fosters resilience.” During wedding planning, who wouldn’t want to have the feeling of tranquility and peace? Blue is a shade that has a lot of representation throughout national brands and it does make a stunning event planning color. This doesn’t mean that all weddings need to be a sea of blue details, but be prepared to see hints of blue and cooler tones this wedding season. “I think most people forget there are variations of every color. I’m sure there will be different ranges of blue in 2020. This doesn’t mean that everything will be this specific shade, but we may start to see shades of cooler tones entering event decor, design, and interior design industries.” -Jamie O’Neill, The Bridal Finery Fashion Director.

I’m not typically the sentimental type and I’m a minimalist yet this is my number one reason to clean and preserve your dress. I’ve heard of countless stories of brides drinking some red wine with their mom at home and pulling out grandma or mom’s wedding dress. It’s fun! It’s an experience just to be able to see it. Maybe even a good laugh at the poufy sleeves or the vintage style neckline. I can imagine all the memories that come rushing in as the wedding dress and veil are unpacked. To me this is the best way to kick of wedding dress shopping. Even if you have no intention of wearing the dress, it’s just fun to enjoy it and see it without yellow staining all over.
