Wedding Day Survival Tips

Now that we are firmly entrenched in the wedding season, its a bit harder to blog on a regular basis! So, I'm going to try and share with you some things that I consider to be indispensable once the wedding day arrives. The first item that comes to mind, and that I end up using at almost every wedding is Hollywood Fashion Tape! This stuff is a lifesaver! Hollywood Fashion Tape is double-stick, hypo-allergenic tape. Its completely comfortable on skin and is safe to use on all fabrics. The original comes in 3 inch strips, and they now have the 'Red Carpet Assortment' which includes five different shapes that will fix any potential wardrobe malfunction. AND - if none of these shapes fits your situation, just use scissors and cut your own!

Okay, here are the various ways I've used this tape to solve a wedding day snafu:

- securing dress necklines (strapless, plunging, etc.) so you don't reveal too much
- keep dress from gaping open under arms, near arm pit
- fix a hem that has fallen out (groomsmen pants, mother of the bride dress, etc.)
- secure spaghetti straps that keep falling off the shoulder
- anchor shoe straps that keep slipping
- keep bra and slip straps undercover and in place
- close shirt if a button is lost
- keep elbow length and opera length bridal gloves in place
- keep thigh high hosiery from slipping
- keep sashes on flower girl & bridesmaid dresses from slipping out of place

I've even used it to re-tack down an aisle runner that had come loose! I'm sure I'm forgetting some other uses, but I never leave to do a wedding without it!! We stock it in our boutique, Girly Girl Gifts & Accessories - come by and get a few samples to try for yourself. There is nothing more unattractive than the bride tugging on her strapless dress all day and night, slap some Hollywood Fashion Tape on and that dress won't move at all! Trust me.
