With anti-inflammatory properties and omega-3 fatty acids to hydrate the skin, this oil smooths and rejuvenates, giving you the natural glow you'll want on your wedding day.

The lenses are comfortable enough to wear right through the reception speeches, and are available with or without a prescription.
Dyson Airwrap Hair Styler Dyson's done it again—they've released a new hair styling tool that everyone's been talking about (you've probably seen it on Instagram by now). The Dyson Airwrap Hair Styler is the perfect hair tool to add to your wedding registry, and it's truly a game changer in the way that it styles your locks. Using air to wrap hair around the tool, you can achieve a gorgeous hairstyle without damaging your mane from the heat. You'll also no longer have to blow-dry your hair then style—the tool is designed to be used on damp hair. Drying and styling your hair simultaneously? That's a win to us.
