Prettygarden One-Shoulder Floral Maxi Dress

This maxi dress is perfect for an outdoor wedding shower and gives a bohemian vibe reminiscent of upscale brands like DÔEN and The Vampire’s Wife. The floral pattern is delicate, and the silhouette billows for a romantic look. A bride who wore it to her shower told us, "everyone was asking where I got this dress, and they were shocked when I told them Amazon."

JOVS [24J Energy] IPL Hair Removal Device

Brides editors tested this device on their bikini line and were wowed by the results. This IPL device reduced hair growth and prevented regrowth. It was easy to use and didn’t cause any skin irritation. After 12 weeks of continuous use, one Brides editor noted she didn't have to wax her bikini line at all. A couple of zaps will help you touch up areas whenever you need (after the initial 12-week period). We love this device for long-term hair reduction.

Beauty by Earth Self Tanner Drops

Brides love using this formula to get a glowing and even complexion for bridal events. Unlike other self-tanning formulas, this one allows you to control the depth of your tan with each drop. Aloe vera, coconut oil, and green tea extract hydrate the skin so the solution is streak-free. The non-sticky formula blends beautifully into your favorite moisturizer and delivers a sun-kissed look that's natural and bespoke.

"After using this headband for a year, I recommend it to literally everyone who compliments me on my hair, and I believe it’s a must for anyone traveling to bachelorette parties and weddings."
