Ever had your hubby-to-be come surprise you at work? Gwen Stefani sure has! Okay, so her current sweetheart Blake Shelton technically isn’t her hubby-to-be (yet!), but the country crooner recently surpised the pop princess when she was hard at work on her concert tour. He even joined her on stage for a to-die-for duet! Way cooler than the time your fiancé stopped by your office with lunch for two, right? (Although that was pretty adorable…) But these too-cute photos of the in-love pair cuddled up on stage are just adding fuel to the engagement gossip fire, as they seem to confirm the rumor that the pair are heading down the aisle soon — very soon.

On Tuesday, Stefani and Shelton proved just how inseparable they’ve been as of late when Shelton stopped by the Detroit leg of Stefani’s This Is What the Truth Feels Like tour. According to Entertainment Tonight, the Voice coach hopped up on stage with Stefani to tag-team their hit “Go Ahead and Break My Heart,” surprising the audience (and probably giving a few of them heart attacks in the process!). The pair previously performed the duet on The Voice back in May — but they didn’t share a kiss on stage afterwards! Yep, that’s right. This time, after that last note was sung, the pair adorably embraced and Stefani pecked Shelton on the cheek in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment (video below). And if that wasn’t cute enough, the couple also snapped a slew of silly shots backstage, which Stefani later posted to Instagram.

How could you not be hearing wedding bells after seeing that, right? You can’t play coy with us, you two! In fact, how lovey-dovey Shelton and Stefani were last night supports the latest rumor about the future of their relationship. “They are not engaged yet,” a source close to the “Make Me Like You” singer recently divulged to People. “Everyone is expecting it to happen at some point, though.” Obviously! We already dreamed up all their wedding details, after all!

“Their relationship is almost too good to be true,” the source continued. “They are very much alike and really have a very special relationship. All the things that need to work out for two people to merge lives have worked out.” That sounds promising, right? Fingers crossed those Shelton/Stefani nuptials happen soon! Just imagine their reception duet…

Whether you’re the bride, bridesmaid, mother of the bride, or a guest, there’s one thing that can strike fear in the hearts of wedding-goers searching for perfect hair — summer humidity. If you’re in a remote, tropical destination with no access to a trustworthy salon, or are just a girl who likes to get in the trenches with her hair, the truth is doing your own hair for a summer wedding shouldn’t be out of the question. Of course, there are a few tips and tricks that will help you along the way. Here, the 4 secrets to doing your own summer wedding hair, and getting it right every time!

Start With Inspiration
Get ready to devote an entire Pinterest board to your wedding hair inspiration. File everything that strikes your fancy in one place, and then narrow it down to one style. Since you’re looking to recreate it on your own, we suggest sticking with something that doesn’t require so many bells and whistles. That doesn’t mean you should stay clear of updos, just keep in mind that you only have two hands, and no eyes on the back of your head to get that french twist just right.

YouTube Is Your Best Friend
Want to do your own hair, AND try something new? YouTube can be your greatest ally. After you’ve narrowed down a look, starts combing through YouTube for a tutorial on how to get something similar on your own. Thousands, upon thousands of hair tutorials are at your fingertips to help you nail the look you want. Suddenly getting that fish tail braid just right won’t seem so daunting. Our expert tip: choose your tutorials by how many views each has, that will help narrow down the infinite blackhole of videos you’ll come up with after your search. It also helps to stalk your favorite celebrity hairstylists on Instagram and Snapchat for tips and tutorials.

Tools Are Important
Doesn’t matter if you’re going straight, or wavy, any good hairstyle starts with good tools. The good news is there’s a tool out there to accomplish even the most seemingly impossible hair feats $ from pin straight strands, to envy-inducing beach waves, and perfectly blown out Kate Middleton-style tresses. Ask your regular hair person what they recommend for your hair texture. If you have fine thin strands, maybe investing in a good curling iron to achieve perfect texture before going with an updo is right for you. Conversely if you have thick, unruly strands, a killer straightening iron can help get those tresses frizz free.

Focus on Texture and Volume
Nothing beats humidity quite like some seriously textured hair. The secret to achieving that perfectly tousled texture? Lots of dry shampoo! We’re all admitted dry shampoo addicts around here $ the perfect hair staple is not only great for refreshing a days-old blow out (shhhh we’ll never tell the last time we washed), it’s also the secret to achieving that sexy bedhead level of volume and texture, you know the one that’s perfect for holding an updo or romantic beach waves in place. Focus on a talc-free product like Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Dry Shampoo, to absorb impurities and build-up from other products while achieving the kind of volume usually reserved for Victoria’s Secret models. Keep that hair in place with a hairspray that holds without drying up your tresses (or making them feel all crunchy). Big Sexy Hair Get Layered Flash Dry Thickening Hairspray not only keeps your hair in place, but also shields away humidity, and UVA/UVB rays — perfect for beach brides looking for extra protection and a gorgeous ‘do.

Think having to buy an expensive dress or getting your hair and makeup done a certain way is the most annoying part of being a bridesmaid? Well some bridesmaids find things that make them roll their eyes even more. Whether it’s the amount of money they have to shell out for certain pre-wedding occasions or the fact that they aren’t invited with a plus one even though they are part of the bridal party, being a bridesmaid can make you feel equal parts excited and frustrated. Here, seven real bridesmaids share their biggest pet peeves associated with being in a wedding.

1. Spending Money on The Shoes
“People always complain about the dress. In my situation, the dress was a breeze. We all had to wear the same black dress and it was fine and not too expensive. But the shoes — oh wow. That was a whole other nightmare. We had to all buy these purple-sequined shoes. They cost me $195. I have never spent that much money on a pair of shoes in my life. These shoes are so weird looking that I will never wear them again.” — Teresa K., 29

2. Spending Too Much on a Poorly-Fitted Bridesmaid Dress
“Buying an expensive and ugly dress I’m only going to wear once is my least favorite thing about being a bridesmaid. I did it twice this year so far and am out $540. If I never say yes to being a bridesmaid again, this is why.” — Sandy G., 28

3. Not Getting a Plus One
“I am usually the only single bridesmaid, since everyone in my group of friends is engaged or married. I haven’t had a boyfriend in years, but I am actively dating. That being said, it would be kind for brides to give me a thank you gift in the form of a plus one. That way, I wouldn’t be the third wheel all night long at the wedding. I was a bridesmaid in March and the other 4 bridesmaids had husbands. I was at their table, alone. I had no one to dance with or talk to.” — Hannah E., 31

4. Having to Get Hair Extensions
“My biggest bridesmaid pet peeve is when the bride makes us change our appearance for her wedding. For a wedding in January, the bride told us all we had to grow our hair out 5 inches. Mine wouldn’t grow so she made me buy $200 extensions to wear.” — Brenda W., 27

5. Being Told Where to Be Throughout the Day
“I was a bridesmaid four times this year so far. The most annoying part of being a bridesmaid was following rules and being told where to be. I felt like my life was on a constant scheduled controlled by wedding babysitters. It was just annoying. If I was three minutes late, all the girls rolled their eyes at me.” — Rachel M., 25

6. Learning How to Bustle the Dress
“One thing no one teaches you how to do is bustle a wedding dress. It’s so incredibly hard. When I did it in March, I broke three nails and broke out in hives from the pressure and sweat. I ended up having to keep the dress up with duct tape. Seriously, it’s my least favorite thing about being a bridesmaid.” — Penny S., 26

7. Not Getting Any Cake
“At every wedding I went to this year as a bridesmaid, and I went to three, I didn’t get to have any cake. I don’t even know why. I think I was busy just making sure the guests were having fun and the bride wasn’t mad at me. I just missed the cake all three times. That’s why I like being a guest. You can do what you want.” — Nina D., 26

Jen Glantz is a “Professional Bridesmaid” and the founder of Bridesmaid for Hire. She’s the author of All My Friends Are Engaged and frequently wears old bridesmaid dresses to the grocery store and on first dates.

TGFIS — that’s short for “Thank God for Instagram Stories” and in this case it’s because we may have just found out that Bethenny Frankel is engaged! The Skinny Girl mogul flashed a quick peek at a huge diamond ring on her left finger on Instagram Stories Wednesday morning, leading us to believe that the Real Housewives of New York City star might be getting married to her boyfriend Dennis Shields.

While we’re unsure if the engagement ring pics are real or just a maj dig at her frenemy and fellow Housewife, Luann de Lesseps (as the two have had reoccurring beef on-screen, most recently over Luann’s engagement to Tom D’Agostino), the reality star posted not one, but TWO photos with the sparkly bling on her left finger. In one photo, the Skinny Girl founder is taking a selfie in which she is wearing sunglasses while hugging a man who appears to be her 48-year-old boyfriend (or fiancé?), Shields (but might we say his bald head resembles D’Agostino’s…!?). He is facing away from the selfie camera, and her arm is wrapped around his head with a diamond ring in plain sight.

If we can just stop for a second to note that the ring is literally GINORMOUS — easily several carats, if not more. The only thing that is very suspicious about the new bling is how similar it looks to the Countess’ yellow diamond with two white diamonds flanking the sides. The difference with Frankel’s sparkler is that her center stone is a white diamond as well. Needless to say, it’s huge and gorgeous — definitely giving Kim K a run for her money. In a separate Snapchat post, the author and chef is taking a selfie in a tank top and underwear, with the ring peeking around her ring finger in the snap. It’s all so intriguing, and we’re not sure what to make of it.

Frankel and Shields started dating this year, after rumors started swirling upon being spotted together in New York City. While her first marriage to Jason Hoppy (and subsequent divorce) was made totally public, the Bravo star revealed to People that her new relationship will be quite different. “I haven’t been this happy in a really long time, and I’m continuing with my policy of not involving [others] in my relationships, because it certainly has served me wrong in the past. You know the definition of insanity is repeating the same behavior and expecting different results, so I’m not going to make the same mistake twice. So, if I’m happy in a relationship, I want to keep it private for as long as I can. It has not worked out with me well in the past to be gushing over being really happy — I’ll leave that part to my castmates.”

Since that time, however, they’ve been seen out and about in various locales. The reality star has also been seen rocking a diamond ring on her right ring finger, and posting Instagram snaps of flowers from her man, captioned “So lucky.”

The pair met 27 years ago, ironically when B’s NYC banker beau was dating (and then ended up marrying) one of her high school girlfriends. And while they both have a little relationship baggage to handle (word on the street is that Shields is still married, and Frankel’s divorce was just solidified), the RHONY star is totally owning it. “We’ve both been married and separated,” she shared with People. ‘So we’re a perfect match. Like everything else in my life, I’m owning it.”

Either way, bring on the dramz, as this sneaky Instagram announcement is sure to bring some (most likely unwanted) opinions from her Bravo castmates. We can’t wait to see how it all unfolds. One thing is for sure: We’ll be pretty mad if all this ring business is just a cruel joke to get us excited.

So lucky

Even though celebrity workout routines aren’t always the most realistic ways for us ~normal people~ to fit exercise into our lives, there’s nothing wrong with being a little curious about what they do to get and stay fit. Lucky for us, celebs sometimes give the world a sneak peek into their routines through Instagrams and interviews, which can serve as inspiration to find workouts you love, too.

Of course, just like everyone else, celebrities can have more than one favorite workout — mixing it up helps you avoid boredom as well as fitness plateaus. But if you’re curious about some of their go-tos, here’s how your favorite celebrities get their sweat on.

1. Lea Michele’s a SoulCycle Devotee.

Unstoppable. ????????

A photo posted by Lea Michele (@msleamichele) on Apr 13, 2016 at 2:18pm PDT

Lea Michele is endlessly ‘gramming her love for SoulCycle, a pumped-up, beat-driven indoor cycling class that’s built a seriously cult following (Demi Lovato is a big fan, too — she even took a SoulCycle bike on tour with her). “Rise and grind! @soulcycle,” Michele recently captioned a sweaty post-workout snap. Want to pump up your own cycling workout? Here’s how to turn a stationary bike into a fat-burning machine.

2. Carrie Underwood swears by four-minute Tabata bursts.
Carrie Underwood’s got some pretty killer workouts in her arsenal, but one of her go-to exercise methods is Tabata, an interval workout that involves 20 seconds of hard work and 10 seconds of rest for four minutes. “I’m in love with it! It’s hard, but it really works,” she told Shape. “I choose seven different exercises, like squats, lunges, or push-ups, and do eight rounds of each…It really revs up my metabolism. When I’m done, I can handle anything.” Here’s how to create your own Tabata workout.

3. Jennifer Aniston climbs her way to fit at Rise Nation.
When she’s not doing her trifecta workout of 15 minutes on the treadmill, 15 minutes on the bike, and 15 minutes on the elliptical, you can find Jennifer Aniston on a VersaClimber, which is a killer cardio machine that mimics a ladder-like climbing motion. The actor told Well+Good, “In Los Angeles, I work out at Rise Nation, which is a fitness climbing cardio class — it’s such a great workout!” Maybe this is what was missing during my feeble attempt to live like Jen.

4. Iskra Lawrence is all about training with bodyweight moves and heavy weights.

??????? real time clip of me in the gym yesterday doing some 10kg weighted #boxjumps as this was the highest height avail so to challenge myself I added the Kettlebell. This is one of my fave ways to warm up 3-5 sets of 10-15 reps ???? #iskralawrence #everyBODYisbeautiful ??????? @davidlloydleisure

A video posted by ????iskra??? (@iamiskra) on May 9, 2016 at 4:36am PDT

Iskra Lawrence showed off these insane box jumps on Instagram back in May, but that’s not all the model does during her workout routine. “I love the feeling and the energy that I get from working out,” she told ELLE.com. “I do lots of high intensity training like skipping and box jumps. I love heavy weights, I love lunges. I love legwork — squats and things like that.”

5. Khloe Kardashian loves the stairs to sculpt her strong glutes.
If her Instagram is any indication, Khloe Kardashian (who works out with Gunnar Peterson) is seriously on that fitness grind (and it shows). One of her favorite things to do? The good ol’ stairs. “The stairs are everything for your lower body, and you’re sweating, it’s a great cardio workout,” Kardashian said in a video on her app. “I like to do the stairs at the gym where the stairs are rotating, not an actual stair master. The stairs are rotating and if you stop you’re just going to fall off that bad boy. So that one is a beast. That is so good for your butt, thighs, squat, everything.” Inspired to take the stairs yet?

6. Lena Dunham loves The Tracy Anderson Method.
In this inspiring Instagram post about how working out has helped her with her anxiety, Lena Dunham thanked Tracy Anderson for “showing her the light.” The boutique fitness studio (and the trainer behind it) has a huge celebrity following — Gwyneth Paltrow is also a devotee of the dance-inspired cardio and strength workout.

7. Ashley Graham breaks a serious sweat with kickboxing.

@donsaxbyboxing had me jabbing early this morning! ???????????????????????? #curvyfit #beautybeyondsize

A video posted by A S H L E Y G R A H A M (@theashleygraham) on Jul 4, 2016 at 8:49am PDT

Ashley Graham told Stylecaster that her favorite workout of the moment is kickboxing, but she’s been known to mix it up with her workout routine — her Instagram is full of positive fitness inspo that inspires you to get #UpNOut. She’s not the only celeb who keeps boxing in the mix, though — Gina Rodriguez is also a big fan (her dad was actually a boxing referee).

8. Jenna Dewan-Tatum channels her Step Up days with dance cardio.
Jenna Dewan-Tatum is the perfect example of doing workouts you find fun. In 2013, she told SELF that she relied on dance cardio to get back into fitness after giving birth. “I do a 35-minute hip-hop workout my trainer gave me,” she said. “Chan laughs because he walks in on me doing my routine to Lil Wayne in the living room. He hasn’t jumped in yet, but I’m going to have to work on that!” If her moves during her epic Lip Sync Battle against her husband are any indication, she’s kept it up.

9. Ellie Goulding is a big Barry’s Bootcamp fan.
Ellie Goulding is a certified fitness buff in a lot of ways, but she’s an especially big fan of Barry’s Bootcamp, a killer treadmill-and-strength combo workout that leaves you sweating buckets (seriously, this workout is insane). The singer even led her own Barry’s sweat sesh in Miami Beach back in January — and I’m willing to bet it was a tough one. Anything could happen, amiright?

10. Julianne Hough sweats it out at Body By Simone.

It's almost tank top season, which means baring those biceps! @errrrrrrka is back with this awesome 2 step workout to get the arms of your dreams. ???? in bio. And don't forget to check out my curated line with @mpgsport! ???????? #spotthephotobombers #workingoutwithfriends

A photo posted by Julianne Hough (@juleshough) on Apr 28, 2016 at 7:54am PDT

Julianne Hough’s fitness routine is super balanced and fun, and while she loves to mix it up, she told SELF that the dance-based workout Body By Simone is one of her favorites (along with CorePower Yoga and hiking with her adorable dogs). “”[Working out] is something for myself,” Hough told SELF. “I think about it that way, rather than ‘I have to get skinny’ or ‘I have to get fit.’ I think of it as my personal time to make myself feel good.”

11. Gisele Büendchen is a serious yogi.
Tons of celebs swear by yoga, and among them is one Gisele Büendchen. Her Instagram-worthy poses are serious #yogagoals. Yoga can be a seriously sculpting workout — here’s a yoga flow sequence for stronger abs (feel free to channel your inner Gisele while you do it).

12. Mindy Kaling has been known to pop up at Pop Physique, an LA-based barre workout.
“If I could do one workout for the rest of my life, it would be a two to three mile run followed by a Pop Physique class…Pop makes me feel flexible and strong. It is super hard and uses many ballet moves,” Kaling told The Chalkboard Mag in 2014. “I always pretend I’m Natalie Portman in Black Swan while doing it.” That’s why we love ya, Kaling.

This article originally appeared on SELF.

If JoJo Fletcher had any doubts about her choice on Monday’s season finale of The Bachelorette, we’re sure the diamond engagement ring Jordan Rodgers proposed with squashed them with its shine. We’re not saying the woman is shallow, but have you seen that thing?! The new beautiful bauble that has since taken up residence on Fletcher’s finger is sparkly enough to stop traffic! It’s been two whole days now since we watched Rodgers get down on one knee, and we’re still not over that engagement ring. Where do we get one of those beauties?! From Neil Lane, of course — the resident ring designer of The Bachelor franchise. But unfortunately, it comes with a price tag just as hefty as everyone’s hatred for this season’s villain, Chad Johnson. (Sorry, Chad…)

As per usual with all Bachelor and Bachelorette cast members, Rodgers enlisted the help of jewelry designer Neil Lane (good gig he’s got there, right?) to create the perfect engagement ring for his future bride-to-be. And as always, Lane came through. The former football quarterback eventually settled on a platinum sparkler featuring an oval-cut center stone surrounded by a halo of over 155 pavé diamonds. Le sigh…

“I knew right away which one I wanted for her,” Rodgers told People of his spot-on choice. The engagement ring weighs in at 3.75 carats, according to E! News, and cost an estimated — wait for it… — $100,000. Yep. Just imagine all the rose ceremony roses you could buy with that kind of dough.

“It’s stunning and classic,” mused Fletcher of her new engagement ring. And Neil Lane himself also approves of the stunning sparkler, saying “Jordan loved the sparkle around the band. And it was clear he’s madly in love with JoJo. He’s smitten.”

A photo posted by The Jewel Diary (@thejeweldiary) on Aug 1, 2016 at 9:32pm PDT

And now, a few months after Rodgers popped the question and the to-be-wed pair filmed the finale, he’s still smitten! The reality TV couple recently just celebrated their first official date outside of the Bachelorette mansion. (They were forced to keep their relationship a secret until the show aired.) No more elaborate helicopter rides, roses, and champagne for these two, as their über-casual date night consisted of matching sneakers, burgers, and fries, all of which Fletcher documented on her Snapchat.

Hey, just because the bride-to-be has 100k wrapped around her finger, doesn’t mean the to-be-wedded couple can’t go on a cheap date every now and then!

The Duggar family has been filling up our wedding news feed (because you know we have one) lately with all kinds of headlines surrounding Jinger Duggar and her exciting engagement to professional soccer player Jeremy Vuolo. We just can’t get enough of their sweet story! And now this sneak peek video of Counting On‘s second season has us breaking out the Kleenex.

In the clip, we see the 22-year-old Duggar daughter — who, if you aren’t familiar, is one of 19 Duggar kids who rose to fame with the family’s original TLC reality show 19 Kids and Counting — excitedly yell “Jeremy!” as Vuolo walks into her family’s Arkansas home with flowers in hand and says, “I missed you.”

Later in the sneak peek, the officially courting duo can be seen sitting on a porch bench together, People reports. “It’s really been a privilege for me to get to know you,” 28-year-old Vuolo says before the camera focuses on Jinger’s face. “I wanted to ask you if you would…”

CLEARLY this is the major proposal moment we’ve all been desperately waiting for, right?!

Jinger, who has already watched her two older sisters, Jill and Jessa, walk down the aisle in recent years, announced that she was being courted — the Duggar family-approved form of dating that consists of no sex, no kissing, chaperoned dates, and side-hugs only — by the pro athlete just last month, after meeting Vuolo in May 2015 and attending a mission trip together. “It was there that I really saw his heart and really admired his character,” Jinger explained to to People at the time.

According to People, the 10-episode series will also focus on Duggar daughter Jessa and her husband Ben Seewald — they married in a much-publicized religious wedding in November 2014 — and their hopes for adoption. “Ben and I have had on our hearts to adopt,” 23-year-old Jessa, who gave birth to their first son in November, says in the video. “That was something that we talked about before we were even married.”

Not so surprisingly, Jessa and Ben won’t be the only Duggars looking to expand the family! Other Duggar daughter Jill‘s 27-year-old husband Derick Dillard says to her that he’s set on “trying to have another baby before next year.” Can’t say we’re shocked to hear all that baby news coming from this family!

Move aside, bachelor parties — the latest (and dare we say greatest) trend happening amongst our male counterparts is making waves in the Pinterest world. The trend, known as the “dadchelor” party, took off in 2015 after more and more men began searching Pinterest for a way to have a baby shower of their own, complete with brews and poker of course. Much like the bachelor party, the man shower (which isn’t as fun to say as dadchelor, TBH) is a guy’s last hurrah before fatherhood and is the perfect way for a dad-to-be to celebrate this momentous occasion with none other than his closest bros.

And while yes, the dadchelor party involves beer, it’s probably a liiitle bit different than the college-esque frat party you’re imagining. For example, the most popular man shower ideas on Pinterest include “Beer, Dudes & Diapers” and “Chuggers and Huggies.” Instead of chugging beer from the can, men are now celebrating fatherhood by chugging their brews out of a baby’s bottle. Nope, we’re not making this up!

There are more generic man shower ideas, like hosting a backyard BBQ or a simple Poker night, but we have to admit we’d PAY to see our guys go the more non-traditional route by wearing a T-shirt that reads, “The man behind the bump” while toting a six-pack of Bud Light in one hand and a box of diapers in the other. #InstagramWorthy

Activity ideas from the dadchelor party Pinterest board include a diaper changing relay race, baby mad libs, and of course lots and lots of beer-themed basics — like this baby is brewing beer tap. Hey, a lot is changing for your man, too! He deserves to let loose one last time before everything in his life does a 180. We’re talking late-night rock-a-bye baby sessions, Saturday night’s in, and most importantly, less free time to do just about, well… anything. But if you’re still not keen on the idea, co-ed baby showers have also majorly increased in popularity since 2015. And the trend is only just beginning to gain speed.

So before you roll your eyes at the hype surrounding dadchelor parties, just know it’s probably here to stay. At least the stripper part is excluded, right? Right.

Once you’ve got the dress of your dreams, it’s time to turn your attention to the ladies who’ll be standing by your side. Luckily for our Chicago brides, the Windy City is filled with bridesmaid dress boutiques that make bridesmaid shopping something to look forward to rather than to dread. With a glass of champagne and your best girlfriends, think of it as playing dress up — for adults. Here are a few shops in Chicago that’ll set you up with bridesmaid dresses worthy of your bridal party.

Brideside
The West Loop startup burst onto the scene in 2012 and offers an entirely new, digital way to shop for bridesmaid dresses. It works a bit like other online styling services: Each bride chats with a Brideside stylist and shares the look and feel of the day. The stylist can share dress options and sizing specifics, and you can browse the website’s inventory with your bridesmaids and tag your favorite ones. Then, your bridesmaids can try on three dresses at home for $10 — a serious plus if your bridal party is scattered across the country. Or, local bridesmaids can swing by the West Loop headquarters. The best part is your bridesmaids can return the dress if it isn’t just right — a rare luxury most other bridal shops don’t allow. Read real brides’ reviews here!

BHLDN
From the Parisian-inspired mirrors to sparkling accessories at every turn, there’s no shortage of romance at BHLDN. Inside, you’ll find a mix of vintage-inspired and contemporary designs — plus headpieces, belts, and shoes to complete the look. Most bridesmaid dress shops require a few months of turnaround time, but BHLDN acts more like a normal retailer. Your maids choose the dress they love, order it online, and pick it up at their doorstep within a couple of weeks. Read real brides’ reviews here!

Bella Bridesmaid
Take it from us: No other place in the city has this many options under one roof. The designers include Jenny Yoo and Adrianna Papell, so you’re sure to find something that suits everyone. Schedule an appointment with your crew ahead of time, during which one of the stylists will take everyone’s measurements. Then, the stylist will recommend the best size for each bridesmaid. Another plus: Bella Bridesmaid has nearly 50 locations across the country, so bridesmaids from Boston to Seattle can stop by to get measured in their respective cities.

Jenny Yoo
Join the entire bridal industry and bow down to the queen of wedding dresses — and bridesmaid dresses, too. Jenny Yoo’s gorgeous silk and chiffon dresses put every bridesmaid in the best light and make for some gorgeous photo ops. This Gold Coast shop routinely gets praised for striking that fine line between being helpful and not pushy when it comes to its staff’s help in finding dresses for your girls. Be sure to book an appointment in advance. Read real brides’ reviews here!

Rent the Runway
Another total disruption to the wedding industry (and we mean that in a good way), Rent the Runway began offering bridesmaid dresses in 2011. It works just like when you’re choosing Rent the Runway for any other event: Make your selection online, rent it for four or eight days, and return it in the pre-paid envelope. Local bridesmaids can stop by the Gold Coast shop to try the dresses on before placing the order. And while it seems like a gamble to not have the dress until a few days before the big event, Rent the Runway calms your nerves by offering two dress sizes and overnight shipping if neither work out.

Bella Bianca
Bella Bianca was started by two sisters who wanted brides and bridesmaids alike to feel excited about the wedding. They do just that with gorgeous dresses from designers like Jim Hjelm and Alfred Sung — and by prioritizing personal service. At their Gold Coast location, the boutique has a newly expanded space — dedicated to bridesmaid dresses — and huge mirrors so everyone can stand side by side and admire themselves in prep for the big day.

And along with settling those last few details — figuring out where to seat your eccentric Uncle Carl, firming up the flowers — you’re likely also making one last push to make sure the body that will be wearing that gorgeous white gown looks as good as it possibly can. You and nearly every other woman with an engagement ring on her finger. In fact, research shows that an overwhelming 91 percent of brides-to-be are anxious about their weight. But from here on out, you won’t have to be!

Whether you want to drop those last few pounds or look more toned — or both — we’ve got a month’s worth of daily tips (none of which require starving yourself or working out nonstop!) that will help you feel stunning and confident when you walk down that aisle. You know where to send the thank-you card.

Day 3: Add More Volume to Your Meals

Yes, it is possible to lose weight without having to sit down to a tiny, sad plate of food. They key? Amp up the amount of low-cal fruits and veggies. “I always tell clients to start by putting at least 2 cups of [vegetables] on their plates at lunch and dinner. That’s what you build your meal around. It naturally keeps overall calories down, ensures you get lots of antioxidants and fills you up,” says Rachel Beller, R.D., of Beller Nutritional Institute in Beverly Hills and author of Power Souping.

From there, add three to four ounces of lean protein, ⅓ to ½ cup of whole grain carbs (like brown rice), and a little healthy fat (a bit of olive oil, avocado, nuts), and you’ve got the recipe for a satisfying — and skinnifying! — meal.

Upping your water intake is also a key element of getting wedding-ready. Yes, that means cutting out soda and high sugar juices, but it doesn’t have to mean cutting out flavor. Investing in a SodaStream can be a bridal life saver — you still get your soda fix, plus you can play around with adding different fruits and even veggies like cucumbers for delicious spa water that will get you nutrients while you sip. The benefits? Feeling fuller longer, hydrating your body, and did we mention glowing skin?

If you’re sick of salads or can’t bear the idea of sitting down to a big mound of broccoli, a broth-based soup is a great alternative. It can help you get those two cups of veggies in one comforting, extra low-calorie bowl.

“Soups are a much better alternative to juicing because you get the satiating fiber that green drinks lack — and you get to actually eat real food, which makes it feel less diet-y,” adds Beller. Just watch the sodium content (bloat alert!).

Greens, Beans, and Things
Makes 4 servings

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 leeks, chopped

3 cloves garlic, sliced

Bunch of asparagus (15 to 20 stalks), tough ends removed, and cut into 1-inch pieces

2 cups frozen green peas

3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

1 ½ cups cannellini beans, no salt added

Himalayan or sea salt

2 cups baby spinach

Freshly ground black pepper

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the leeks and sauté until tender, about fives minutes. Add the garlic and sauté another two minutes. Stir in the asparagus, peas, and parsley, then pour in the broth and beans and sprinkle with salt. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the veggies are just tender, three to four minutes. Stir in the spinach leaves, add salt and pepper to taste, and serve. (This soup also tastes great pureed.)
