You've got your hands full. Planning a wedding gets overwhelming pretty quick, and every stop means a new sample, brochure or logo-covered can cozy. It adds up, and you need a place to put it -- a stylish place to put it.

Kipling understands. They're great at offering a shoulder for support. Wait, flip that. Reverse it. They're great at offering awesome bags for your shoulder to support. Still, that's the kind of understanding we can get behind.

The Abbot Cross-Body Drawstring Bag from Kipling is brilliant in red nylon with cotton and leather trim, a sturdy top carry handle and an adjustable/detachable shoulder strap. It's perfect for lugging around your growing collection of florist magnets, DJ discs and cake-scented key chains.

Also, it makes a great bag to carry around on the honeymoon (and all points before, between and after). See, Kipling gets it.

Rain, rain go away. Come again on somebody else's wedding day.

That's right, we said the "R" word. We're looking forward to springtime weddings, what with the sunshine, and the flowers and fancies turning to love, but there's a dark cloud to that silver lining, and it could open up at any moment.

Nobody wants their wedding to go the way of the proverbial Plan B.

Luckily, RainyDay BridalWear's WetKnot has your back (also head, front and feet). From their Web site:

The 'WetKnot' was designed to protect the bride and her dress from nature's unpredictable elements. Brides will appreciate the quality and detail of satin cord and rhinestone snaps that give each raincoat simplicity and elegance while showing every detail of the brides dress through the crystal-clear coat. The ¾-length sleeve accents the delicate wrist and also helps give attention to the bouquet while an oversized hood gives brides room for all hairstyles, veils and tiaras. The WetKnot's patented design wraps gracefully under and gathers up the gown -- the perfect solution to wet grass and walkways on the way to ceremony and reception sites.

Dry and fly, just like you planned it.

Three (3) very lucky Aisledash.com readers each won a WetKnot (available in two sizes: Skinny Minnie or Fully Loaded, size chart available on the RainyDay BridalWear WetKnot Web site), and those winners are Renee Holmes, Emily Gerdelman and Kim Keithline! Congratulations!

Gathering a wedding party is somewhat akin to amassing a small army. There are battles over dresses and napkins and whether or not the DJ should play that chicken dance song. It's hectic. However, none of that should trickle down too far. That's where the ring bearer is standing, and he's too young to deal with such adult tensions. Except for the chicken dance. He's for it, and really, doesn't he deserve that much?


The ring bearer is part of the "ah" moment -- the cute duo consisting of the young man and his lovely counterpart with the petals. They give everyone a smile and a chance to prep their tears. Plus, rings aren't cheap. It's a lot of pressure on a kid.

What the ring bearer wears shouldn't be a concern. You've got enough trouble with the DJ (hokey pokey? really?). Don't fret! The good people at Nautica are teaming with Aisledash.com to help. One lucky reader is going to win a boy's suit from Nautica, and their ring bearing day will be so fresh, and so clean. And then smeared with unattended pieces of cake.
