And, the series has returned!
A while back I featured a tip for breaking in your wedding day shoes. While it is a great idea (and I know many of you brides out there have done it), I found another great option! I stumbled upon this fantastic little find in one of the latest issues of my pile of wedding magazines.
Band-Aid
This “Friction Block” is to be used on spots like heels and toes (places where your shoes would rub). It creates a barrier to reduce the rubbing from your shoes.
Now, I have yet to try it (I looked for it in Target this past weekend and no dice), but this could be a great find to keep around the house, not just for your wedding. I know I have suffered a few nights out to wear those cute new pumps.
And, ladies (guys, too), keep those tips coming. We love to feature tips and finds from our readers! Just send an e-mail to Brit at LandlockedBride dot com
If you’re not hiring a day of coordinator (which, I think is a GREAT suggestion), be sure to put one of your bridesmaids or family members in charge of creating an emergency day-of kit for you. Typically, these kits include things like: aspirin, band-aids, blotting papers/powder, sewing kit with safety pins, mints, chapstick/lip gloss and anything else that could be important on the day of.
Martha Stewart’s wedding site features information on how to DIY your own emergency kit. You can also Google it and find many sites with information on what to include in the kit. Any of them provide a good foundation of what to include.
You can also purchase pre-maid kits, like this one featured on Amazon.com:

Looks like we might just have ANOTHER new feature on the blog!
I was catching up on all of my Google Reader blogs and Bobbi from bobbi+mike featured a fantastic tip from one of the weddings they recently shot.
“To break your shoes in a little more quickly, wear tube socks with them around the house 
WHO KNEW?!” – Bobbie Sheridan
Take note ladies. I know most of you have probably scoured the internet for the PERFECT pair of wedding shoes (we all know I have. Just look here, here, here and here). And I’m sure that these said shoes are fantastic and fabulous and hawt. I’m also sure that most of you are dreading wearing them for 5+ hours, in which you will more than likely be standing and dancing away in them the entire time.

So…to break them in, walk around in them in socks in the days leading up to the BIG day.
