Wedding Planning 101
First comes the proposal then comes
the wedding planning. Th ere are dozens
of decisions that need to be made before
it’s time to walk down the aisle, which can
be overwhelming for brides and grooms.
To help make it less stressful, these tips
from Macy’s can help couples through the
entire wedding-planning process, from
on-trend apparel and accessories for the
entire wedding party to all the essentials
to create a perfect registry.
Dressing the Ladies
When it comes to bridesmaid dresses,
the mix-and-match approach is trending
in popularity. Start by deciding on
a color palette, such as lilac, champagne
and petal pink. Th en have each bridesmaid
choose her favorite style within
that range of hues. Bring it all together
by choosing a uniform look for makeup,
shoes and accessories.
There is no better time to thank the
ladies than the morning of the big day.
A few thoughtful gifts can go a long
way, such as matching robes, tumblers
to stay hydrated throughout the day
and cosmetic cases to stow makeup
essentials.
Dressing the Gents
Similar to bridesmaid dresses,
groomsmen attire can be dependent on
the venue and overall event aesthetic.
While a suit can fi t the bill for a country
club wedding, a city aff air may call
for the sleek fi nishes of a tux. Tuxedo
accessories, such as cuff links or bow
ties, make great groomsmen gift s and
are classic pieces they can use time and
time again.
Creating the Perfect Registry
When building a registry, it’s never
too early to start. People want to give
gift s as soon as they know a couple is
engaged. Start by taking inventory of
what you already have, what you need
and what you want to upgrade. It’s also
recommended to update the registry
regularly so there are enough gift s to
choose from, especially if there is an
engagement party and bridal shower
coming up. To get started, some popular
registry items include stand mixers,
craft beer glasses, Dutch ovens, bath
towels and vacuums. For extra guidance,
couples can speak to advisors who
can help with the full registry building
process at Macy’s stores.
