TFF Quick-Tips: Trying on Wedding Dresses

This week on The Friday Five we're offering up 5 quick-tips so you can get on with your weekend! This week's quick-tips you can take along with you when you're trying on wedding dresses.

1. Bring a short bathrobe to the bridal salon.
Because it makes the time between dress changes more comfortable

2. Don’t try on wedding dresses that you cannot afford. 
Because there's nothing worse than lusting after something you can't have 

3. Be open-minded. Try on at least one style you wouldn't normally go for.
Because the vision in your head might not include the best dress for your shape

4. Limit the amount of people you bring along.
Because a few opinions are nice but too many can ruin the mood or make you second guess your instincts 

5. Try to go in with a clear vision of your event's style and major details.
Because the attire is affected by things like location, season and time of day

TFF: Friday Favorites

It's favorites time on the The Friday Five.

When I saw a pin of the cake-topper pictured below in my Pinterest feed earlier this week it definitely put me in a whimsical mood, not to mention every song played at my wedding ceremony was a Beatles song. I walked down the aisle to an acoustic guitarist playing John Lennon's Real Love, so let's just say this was right up my ally. Here are 5 favorites that inspired me this week with a whimsy-Beatles-inspired twist...

Speaking of whimsy, any Chicagoans attending Indie Wed tomorrow?! 

It's such a unique event and tons of our favorite wedding vendors will be there.

TFF: How to Keep the Love Alive During Your Engagement

Don't neglect your relationship during wedding planning. It sounds crazy, right? You would think planning a wedding, a day that is centered around your love for each other, would naturally bring you closer together. It can and should but it can also take attention away from essential aspects of your relationship that you may take for-granted. Just know that the free-time you have together will lessen. It depends on the couple but most of the time one person (usually the woman) takes on more responsibility than the other during the planning process. So we're talking to you, ladies, when we say give yourself a break and take some necessary time out with your partner. Everyone thinks "Not me! I won't be that kind of Bride" but trust me you can easily get wrapped up and feel like there's just not enough hours in the day. You need to step away from those vendor proposals and focus your attention to your relationship. Here are 5 ways to keep the love alive during your engagement...

TFF: Wedding Planning Organization

Welcome to The Friday Five! We're going to kick off the weekend by adding on to last week's TFF topic where we discussed where to start after the proposal. If you're anything like me there's just something gratifying about pretty stationary and chic notebooks like these from Rifle Paper Co.:

It motivates me and makes things like writing a grocery list or taking notes more enjoyable. It's the little things! I was inspired by Sugar Paper®'s new collection for J.Crew to share a couple wedding planning binders and organizers that are sure to motive and inspire your planning process.
