Side Veils

Beautiful, elegant, and eye-catching. These are just a few words to describe the side veil accessory. Side veils are not your everyday, traditional wedding veil, but they are adorable and they add a little twist to your gown. They are beautiful and also simple so that you are not taking away from your gorgeous wedding dress.

Here are a few pictures I found to show you just how gorgeous these veils are:



There are so many different styles and ways to wear the side veils that you can find the perfect one for you.

DIY Guestbook Idea

This amazing DIY wedding project has to be one of the cutest ones I have seen! This is such a great idea. What couple doesn't want advice from their guests. Also instead of having to hear all of them say it to you, they can express it in writing. What happens is when your guests arrive at your reception, they will receive a slip of paper. They will give you some words of wisdom or just a little something they wanted you to know. Then hang it on the tree.
This picture came from the blog of www.onewed.com.


These are such a great idea and they also make for a beautiful centerpiece. I'm sure you will appreciate all of the advice you get before you begin your journey with your special someone. These would be extremely fun to put together and I'm sure your guests would be more than happy to tell you a little something!

This idea came from MyDIYWeddingDay.

8 Essentials for Honeymoon Travel

Samsonite Silhouette 11" Burgandy
This stylish set makes it a lot easier to lug your things around the airport because of their wheels. The beautiful colors that the luggage comes in allows them to be easily spotted when you are searching for yours at the airport. The set comes with a 10 year warranty so it can be with you on all of your journeys through life. You can find this set on Macy's website: http://www.macys.com/.



Documentation
When traveling over countries borders you need to make sure you have the proper documentation. You need to keep your passport, drivers license, plane tickets, credit cards, and cash close by. You need to be sure to have these essentials with you at all times.




Carry-On Bag
Having a carry-on is extremely important while traveling. On a long flight you will be happy that you packed snacks, games, or anything you can entertain yourself with. Having the right bag is an essential part to your trip.




Clothing
You want to make sure to pack light so you dont have to carry heavy luggage back and forth from place to place. Also you need to pack versitile clothing for when you go back and forth between climates. Also packing clothing that you can dress up for things such as dates and dinner or you can dress down for maybe a day of shopping or just hanging out. Sundresses are perfect for this because you can dress them up with a pair of heels and accesories or you can dress them down with a pair of flip-flops and a sun hat!




Shoes
Make sure whatever shoes you pack are comfortable. Being comfortable on your trip is very important. If you bring along high heels make sure that you can wear them without pain. Also you will want to take along a comfortable pair of walking shoes, casual shoes, and posibly some cute strappy heels!




Toiletries
Make sure you bring all of your products in travel size containers! Always remember that less is ALWAYS better! Travel airlines can be very picky so make sure to do this. Bring along only the things that you know you will need during your trip.





Hair Appliances
Girls, we may have to leave at least one of our appliances at home. I know, tragic. But call the hotel that you will be staying at to see what kind of appliances they already have in the room. Our appliances can take up a lot of room in our bags so leaving them at home can save us space for other important things.



Beach Basics
When traveling to tropical places you can't forget to pack your sunscreen, sunglasses, and bathing suits! Also cute cover ups are essential so that you can quickly go from laying out to going to eat.






Proof
When on your honeymoon you will be having the time of your life! You need to make sure to get pictures to show everyone and to have your memories with you forever. And don't forget extra batteries!!
