You’ve dreamed of this day since you put you pinned your mom’s lace tablecloth to your headband and played pretend-wedding in the backyard. Here’s a few grown-up tips for the bride-to-be. Those ring pops have nothing on your rock.

Outfit the littlest member of your wedding party with a ring bearer pillow hand-sewn with unique patterns of silk, linen and grosgrain ribbon. The two San Antonio sisters behind Maihar Design make sure the ring is tied on tight, so the nervous mom of the tiny tux-wearing tot can tie one on after the ceremony.

Shop Fiesta on Main and gift your out-of-towners with a kitschy-cute mesh tote that promises to be as colorful as your slightly tipsy best man’s toast. Even though you wouldn’t be caught dead in a tiara, you do deserve to be a princess for a day. Hand out these paper flower headbands for late night wedding-related celebrations – the white is for the bride.

Blue Tux Shoes’ modern styles have a subtle sole the color of a clear sky, taking care of your something blue. Available at Bella Bridesmaid and The Bridal Salon of San Antonio.

The icing queen at Kate’s Frosting and The Cupcake Cabin, two adorable cupcake shops, will help the bride’s buddies set up a private shower that shows just how sweet love can be.

Looking for an original groom’s cake idea? Consider Cake Balls. (Get your mind out of the gutter.) The bite-sized truffle treats are a sensation sweeping the country, and the to-go size means your guests can get right back to the dance floor. San Antonio Tidbits readers get 10% off their order until tomorrow only, so place your order to try ’em out stat! (We love their wedding cake flavor.) Just enter the promo code TIDBITS at checkout.

Feast your bridal baby blues on the newly-launched bridal collection from Dallas designer, Amanda Sterett, available at Julian Gold. Her delicate and girly mix of white pearl, moonstone, and clear quartz, are a classic choice for a modern bride. Don’t miss Amanda’s trunk show at Julian Gold March 3rd-4th.
