Whether you are looking for day of coordination or a planner to be there through it all, the best of San Antonio is right here.

Number Two: Find Your Perfect Outfit

You might not be the one standing at the end of the aisle exchanging vows… BUT- you will be walking down that aisle, and we want you to look your best while doing it! Brides by Elizabeth and Bridal Connection are two local bridal salons that also have amazing options for you as the Mother of the bride or groom.  Supporting these locally owned San Antonio businesses will have you #lookingfresh and #feelinggood!

Number Three: Bridal beauty for the whole crew!… including you!

When looking for your Bridal Beauty solution, make sure to find a team of artists that knows how to work with a variety of skin and hair types! You might not be the “star of the show” but you are still a crucial supporting role in the cast that deserves to look and feel beautiful. The diverse group of ladies at Love, Lipstick, and Lashes will know exactly what to do to have you looking like a million bucks on your child’s special day.

Number Four: Reviving heirloom jewelry!

If you are looking to give the gift of an heirloom stone or piece of jewelry, think about getting it revived by a local jeweler. Nicole Mera is an expert in all things custom, and the family team at Stone Oak Jewelers couldn’t be happier to help you create that special generational piece to pass on to your child or their partner.
