grooms wedding day gift

    On your Wedding Day, you will most likely be spending the early part of the day surrounded by the “ooohh”-ing and “ahh”-ing of your closest friends, relaxing and being pampered in seclusion before your walk down the aisle.

    You’ll probably have a few butterflies in your stomach, but your small army of confidants will quickly quiet your frantic mind and beating heart, and you’ll be calm and collected in no time.

    Now, imagine that you are your Groom, frantically pacing the room, trying to remember when he gave his Best Man the rings, replaying his Vows over and over (and over) again, applying coat after coat of deodorant, gulping down glass after glass of water, anything to keep himself from having a panic attack.

    Then, in comes an Usher carrying a gift from his Bride, just a small collection of things, reminding him of how long she has been looking forward to this moment, how much she has loved him in the past, and how long she will love him into the future.

    Suddenly, his heart is calm. His mind is clear except for a vision of YOU, walking down the aisle toward him, so eager to reach for his hand and say, “I do.” The smile on his face is irreplaceable, and he is ready to spend the rest of eternity, with you.

Now, even if it's something as small as a gumball, reminding him of your all's first date to the candyshop, this gift will calm him tremendously and help him to focus on the amazing moment that is about to occur.

If you have a better idea for a quick Groomsday gift, send your comments our way! We would love to hear from you! (:

kentucky rental sale!!

Purdon's Bridal is one of our FAVORITE Wedding Rental Professionals in Kentucky!

wedding shoes!

I adore fabulous shoes! And I think it's wonderful to splurge a little on some fun shoes for your wedding day or for your bridal party- but you don't have to break the bank! As many of us already know Zappos.com has a TON of great shoes but they aren't exactly always a bargain- but what you may not know is that in Shepherdsville, Kentucky (about 20 miles south of Louisville) is the Zappos distribution center but ALSO the 6pm outlet store for Zappos. And if you've never been- you MUST go! They have great shoes of all kinds but I think they have an abundant amount of special occasion shoes! 

They have 50% off the pricetag price every day but often they have 60 or 70% off as well- and if you sign up for their newsletter you will get weekly emails about special deals. And if you are planning a trip to come on over to this fun little shopping excursion- you may want to consider Wednesdays as the day to come they have Wacky Wednesday sales that are usually fantastic! 



But you have to like searching and hunting for the shoes because there are a several LONG rows for each size and you will need your patience to find some great finds. But in my opinion (from a girl that LOVES to find a great bargain) I think it's so worth it. 

These beauties pictured below were there at my last trip to the 6pm outlet- I can just picture them now on a stunning bride or fun bridal party! They had tons of colors too!
