A honeymoon at sea can be relaxing, romantic and exotic, but before you book it’s smart to put all fantasies aside and be practical.
Oh, the honeymoon — the ultimate and greatest getaway ever. It’s the trip of a lifetime and because of that, quite possibly the most extravagant vacation you’ll ever experience.
Work in almost every corner of the wedding space — high-end retail, bridal-gown couture, a luxury wedding magazine — has given Aimee Manis the ability to see this world through a variety of lenses.

Tip of the Day: Beware of tendril-overload. A few flirty tendrils around your face can look romantic as long as there are only a few and they are not too long. Too many strands can cast unflattering shadows on your beautiful face. When you get your hair styled, ask for a dozen extra bobby pins in your hair color so that you can pin up any fallen curls or twists during your wedding day.

It gives me immense joy — and yes, even some trepidation — to think about my first wedding dress appointment in July (check back for the full recap!) At last, I will put on a veil and see the bride version of myself, fulfilling a secret fantasy I've had ever since I was a little girl. Hours of gown gallery and Pinterest browsing await so that i can narrow down my eye candy collection. (Being a BG editor actually makes shopping for a gown that much tougher, since I'm blessed with the "task" of looking through hundreds of new styles each season.)
But aside from the obvious preparations — inspiration clippings, wedding-worthy undergarments, a box of tissues for Mom — what should brides know before buying their gown? In the latest installment of our "10 Questions to Ask..." blog series, we got the scoop from Mara Urshel, the co-owner of Kleinfeld, and Cristina DeMarco, the vice president of Bridal Reflections.
1. How far in advance should I start shopping for a gown and when should I order it by?
"Start shopping nine to 12 months prior to your wedding date. Designer gowns should be ordered six to nine months in advance to ensure that there is enough time for delivery and alterations," said Mara Urshel.
The hard work doesn't stop once you find the perfect dress. Now it's time to scout out the right shoes to accent your gown. We’ve picked out four of the hottest footwear trends this season, with both splurge and steal options for each. And, of course, they’re all wedding-worthy.
Kate Spade's take on the trend will have your feet sparkling from the start of the aisle, and Steve Madden's platform toe will keep you comfortable throughout the celebration.
Splurge: Kate Spade New York Pumps, $325.Steal: Madden Girl Sookiee, $49.95.
