Many brides purchase, or get a cute “bride” outfit to wear while they are getting ready the morning of the wedding. Whether you get a custom “Soon to be Mrs. Jones” top, a shirt that reads “Bride” or just grab something from the closet, it’s very important to wear something with buttons or a zipper.

Here’s why: After hours of stylists getting your hair and makeup just right, you don’t want – and in some cases may not be able to – pull your shirt over your head. It’ll be easier and mess-free to unbutton or unzip something. I’ve heard many stories of brides you had to be cut out of t-shirts and tank tops because pulling them off was not an option.

If you don’t have a good top to wear and want something you can wear after the wedding, pick up an Ankh hoodie – available in black, white and pink. And you can even get a pair of matching of cotton pants or shorts – great for pre and post-wedding workouts, and the flight to your honeymoon!
