Her gown, her shoes, her glow — obviously the bride is the focus on the day she says “I do.” But what about the other sweethearts sharing the stage? Brides want to make sure their besties, ring bearers, flower girls and perhaps even a pup or two are styled to perfection alongside them. We’ve pulled together a few ideas to help complete the look and make those loved ones feel oh so lovely.

They are bow-tying, drink-making, present-wrapping, smile-making machines, and they’ll be by your side on one of the biggest days of your life, so it goes without saying that your bridesmaids deserve a little spoiling. Although you’ll never be able to repay them for all they’ve done, making sure they feel pretty on your big day goes a long way. So what could possibly be fab enough for your lineup of lovelies? We’ve pulled together a few finds to make sure they feel loved and appreciated.

Is there anything cuter than wee ones all dressed up at a wedding? Ring bearers and flower girls are guaranteed crowd pleasers, and when they are decked out in seriously fashionable duds or carrying the cutest of signs as they waltz (or run) down the aisle, guests immediately turn into mush. We’ve gathered a few ideas to make these wee ones even sweeter — if that’s possible!

There are a lot of things that make me melt in the wedding world, but puppies and bow ties are close to the top of that (very) long list. If your pooch is helping you march down the aisle, they obviously need to be decked out.
