Creating your DIY projects just got so much easier, thanks to the amazing Command Brand Party Products from 3M. These genius items came across my desk recently, and I was duly impressed. They’re ideal for pre-wedding festivities, making it quick and easy to set up decorations for a bachelorette party, bridal shower, bridesmaids’ luncheon and more.
Tip of the Day: Cover it up! "The options are endless — ruffled capelets, lace boleros, or a fur stole can create multiple bridal looks with one easy piece. Brighten up a blank canvas wedding dress and make it your own with a vintage beaded lace jacket or an Art Deco-inspired cowl wrap," says Trish Lee, a bridal designer based in San Francisco.

Tip of the Day: Remember to make plans for gathering post-reception items. "Who will gather your card box, the top tier of your wedding cake, guest book, extra programs, etc.? How will they get to your hotel, are they even going there? If you’re going directly to the airport the next day, who will take the tux rental back or secure your dress? These are all factors to consider," says Regina from Cloud Nove Events.

Fireball's tagline is "Tastes like heaven, burns like hell, and what happens next is up to you." A groomsman in Iowa took this motto to the next level by duct taping a GoPro video camera to a bottle of this cinnamon whiskey. The result is a hilarious video that captures what really goes on at a fun wedding — everyone couldn't resist taking a swig! Germaphobes be damned.
Watch the bottle get passed round and round:
Real-life hipster Ariel Traci Hines marries Prince Eric in this epically creative and stylish beach wedding shoot inspired by The Little Mermaid. Seriously, from the bride's dip-dyed gown to the tutu-clad bridesmaids — and don't even get me started on the shimmery tablescapes adorned with ocean-themed delicacies — this is the sort of magical big day Disney dreams are made of.
Tip of the Day: Let your man mix and match! The pros from Two’s Company advise: "You don’t have to play it safe with a typical black and white three-piece tux. Adding a colorful pocket square and/or patterned skinny tie adds style and personality to your groom's wedding day look. Bow ties are also on-trend."
