I totally have your back with my new collection of digital wedding planning tools and organizers designed just for overwhelmed, confused and frustrated brides to be. If you know you want to look and feel fabulous on your wedding, but you don't know how to get there - much less how to pay for it - you're in the right spot. I created a a whole new collection of bridal fashion tool and planners just for you. Let's jump in as I share the BTS as to how these products came to life. Plus, I'm, profiling the first three products! Wahooo, I'm excited! As you know, I've been working in the wedding industry for over 18 years - yes 18 years! I started designing and hand making wedding garters at The Garter Girl in 2004. I'm proud to say that I have personally sewn and hand made every single wedding garter that I've ever sold. With sewing all of those wedding heirlooms, including some of my personal favorite wedding garters made from bride's mother's wedding dresses, I've worked with thousands of brides and their moms and the friends and family who love them. One thing is true for all of my clients: They could use some help when it comes to wedding fashion. Most of my brides love fashion, they want to look and feel amazing on on their wedding day in their dream wedding dress. It's just that the process to get there is overwhelming, stressful, confusing, frustrating and expensive. And that's just the wedding dress. I'm not even talking about all of the other outfits the bride needs for a wedding weekend and leading up to her wedding. Everyone thinks it's all about the wedding dress, but there are so many more times throughout the bride's journey were she wants and deserves to feel like "the bride." From engagement party to rehearsal dinner to bridal shower(s) to the day of the wedding, the night and the day after - there's so much more to a bride's fashion wardrobe than the bridal dress. The bridal dress is important, don't get me wrong. It's huge! It's just not the whole piece of the puzzle. I've found that with most of my brides so much attention is spend on finding the dream wedding dress that by the time they get around to shopping for an outfit for the rehearsal dinner or find the perfect pair of bridal shoes to wear in their wedding dress, they are stressed out, suffering from decision fatigue. And worse, they are over budget. Like way over budget with no idea where the money went! Feeling special and comfortable is non-negotiable when you're the bride! But, how do you get there? How do you plan for all of the bridal outfits, not just the wedding dress? More importantly, if you're a bride and this is the first time you're planning a wedding, how do you stay on budget without being worried every second that you'll overspend and have nothing to wear? Enter my collection of digital products designed just for overwhelmed fashion loving brides-to-be! Get Your 'Bridal Fashion Budget Spreadsheet' To help brides plan their entire wedding full of outfits and accessories, I've put together my signature 'Bridal Fashion Budget Spreadsheet.'

Starting with the engagement and leading up to the wedding weekend and going all the way through her wedding day and beyond, this budget tracker will keep brides on budget and on task from start to finish. Oh and I designed it for brides who hate numbers and don't like to talk about spreadsheets! Get Your 'Bridal Beauty Budget Spreadsheet' Once you have the bridal outfits together, or at least are on a path to organization, the next logical question for brides is what about hair and make up? After the bridal fashion, I designed a comprehensive 'Bridal Beauty Budget Spreadsheet' to help brides plan ahead for their beauty services, vendors, products and treatments. This beauty tracker and organizer will help brides plan their day of the wedding hair and make up services and so, so, so much more. The trick with beauty services that most brides do not know is that they need to plan ahead, like way ahead so they aren't scrambling or miss out on services that would have made them feels amazing on their wedding day.
