So You Have the Wedding Dress. Now What?
In partnership with our friends at Simon G.
Good news: You found your wedding dress, and you love it. Congratulations! Tradition (and a cute rhyme) dictates that next on your list is something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. But what legions of
brides and a centuries-old couplet don’t take into account is that being prepared with glowing skin, a killer
getting-ready playlist, and a meditation session is equally clutch for easing day-of willies. The new lineup goes a little something like this:
-
1
CHANGE OF DRESS
Because why not go big on color as long as you possibly can? This stunning silk kimono—with its languorous shape, velvety silk, floaty sleeves, and true-white sash—is made for swishing around the suite.

Something Sparkly
Stack the deck for a lifetime of love and partnership with sapphire and diamond eternity bands. A modern riff on a tennis bracelet ties it all together—and keeps shining bright long after you walk down the aisle.
