When you’re practicing your first wedding dance, don’t forget to try it in the shoes you’re going to wear during the actual dance on your wedding day. Give yourself time to get used to these shoes. Whether it’ll be high heels or sneakers, practice in them at least a few times so that you know how you feel in these particular shoes, how slippery they are, how stable you’re in them, etc. Especially if your dance is complicated. By the way, both the bride and the groom should practice the first wedding dance in the shoes that you’re going to wear for the wedding, because male shoes can also be uncomfortable.

Male buttonholes and boutonnieres are pinned to the suit jacket on the left lapel. The head should be pointing upwards toward the left shoulder. Don’t pull the arrangement through the actual buttonhole of a jacket, just pin it to the fabric. The pin should be hidden on the underside of the lapel.
