All the Things From Nordstrom I Would Not Have Been Able to Live Without on My Wedding Day

Weddings are super exciting, but they're also super stressful. Having something warm and cozy on hand to curl up in when things feel just a tad out of control was a huge comfort to me. I found this in the form of a CozyChic robe ($99), which I took on and off probably 20 times that day.

I could be a consumer researcher for wedding undergarments at this point. After trying on countless options, this lace bodysuit ($74) was by far the best option for me and my dress, providing just the right amount of support without feeling like I was wearing a girdle.

This one is fairly simple, ladies and gents. Hydrate, hydrate, and hydrate some more. And if you find an opportunity to hydrate via a gemstone-filled water bottle ($78), hydrate some more.

To save on prep time the day of, I got my wedding day mani the day before. That morning, though, I wanted a bit of a spruce-up. This Ve Blanc Signature Base Coat ($20) gave my sheer pink nails that extra glossiness I was looking for without having to go back to the salon.

Do not, I repeat, do NOT get into your wedding shoes too early. Stay in plush slippers ($72) for as long as humanly possible. Pro tip: bring them along for photos so you can sporadically give your feet a break.

So maybe you maid of honor can't do everything under the sun. For me, music was key to my getting-ready process. And I'm definitely one of those changes-the-song-every-five-seconds kinda gal. Having a SoundLink Color Bluetooth Speaker II ($129) single-handedly saved my relationship with my sister.

For my wedding look, I decided not to go for eyelash extensions but to have my makeup artist apply individual falsies to give a more natural appearance. With that said, I still wanted length, definition, and opaqueness. And while I'm not a crier, I am a sweater, so finding the perfect lengthening and defining waterproof mascara ($28) was a must.

You don't want to get yourself into a situation where your hair and makeup are brilliantly done and you realize you need to pull a tight t-shirt over your head. Make sure you have an oversize button-down tunic shirt ($148) that is comfortable, is easy to take off, and will look good in your getting-ready photos.

My wedding had multiple outfit changes, two venues, and a lot of dancing. Getting my makeup to stay required a bit of extra love, care of this tried-and-true Fix + Finishing Spray ($27) to lock it all in.

Some brides choose a wedding-day fragrance, but for me, wearing my everyday fragrance served as a comforting reminder that I was still "me." Having a Mojave Ghost Eau de Parfum Rollerball ($78) made it easy to reapply throughout the evening.
