Shoes (enough said)
Shoes! To some brides the shoes are almost more important than the dress. This is the time to splurge on an amazing pair of shoes, but remember... You're committing the rest of your life to your future husband, you don't have to commit your entire wedding day to one pair of shoes! It's always a really really good idea to bring a backup pair...
