Hindsight Advice from Elizabeth and Susan
Elizabeth, what is the single best piece of advice you can give a prospective bride?
DON’T FREAK OUT. No matter what happens, or how much you want to stab your mother, your wedding will be the happiest day of your life. Just keep your eye on the prize. And the prize is not the $15,000 Oscar de la Renta gown; it’s the man with tears in his eyes watching you walk down the aisle to become his wife.
Susan, could you also share a single best piece of advice—for the mother of the bride?
Don’t ever lose sight of the ultimate goal of this whole process–the launching of a magnificent new love. If you’re doing something that doesn’t nudge you toward that goal, like shrieking over the cost of vegan cupcakes, stop and take a breath.
And above all, leave the Spanx at home. Nobody will think less of you if you forget to put on your Spanx.
