40 Clever Wedding Hacks That'll Make Any Big Day Run Without A Hitch

Planning a wedding is often a logistical nightmare. Everything has to be perfect, and the pressure is intense! Images of a stained dress, a ruined cake, or an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction may flash through your mind. Luckily, there are plenty of handy but little-known tips and tricks to make sure getting hitched goes off without a hitch. We’ve got your back...

40. Rough up your shoes

Wedding shoes are beautiful. They are the perfect accessory to finish off the bridal look! But will they actually function as shoes once you hit the dance floor, that is the question? To avoid any slips, rub sandpaper or a nail file on the bottom. This will create a bit of friction between you and the shiny floor.

39. Sew your bra into your dress

The last thing you want is for your wedding photos to be ruined by your bra sticking out of your dress. So, once you’ve said “yes” to that perfect wedding gown, arrange for a professional to attach your bra or bra cups directly into it. It’ll be a lot less hassle on the day. Plus, you can always have it removed from the dress later if you want to.

38. Spray your veil with hairspray

Veils are lovely, makeup is lovely… but the two don’t mix very well. If your veil gets in your face, it could end up smearing your carefully applied powder or lipstick. And let’s be honest: it probably will get in your face. To prevent any smudging, then, give your veil a good spritz of hairspray before the wedding. It should make the thin material stiff, meaning you can position it so that it’s not touching your features.

37. Use hand lotion on your fingers

It could be extremely awkward if the wedding ring doesn’t go on your finger at that crucial moment, so plan in advance. Before the ceremony, use a bit of hand cream on your digits to help the ring slide into place. This goes for both the bride and groom!
