I've seen rehearsal dinner etiquette that says immediate family, bridal party, and out of town guests. Is this just "old school" though? As in, back when the father of the bride paid for the wedding...
At David’s bridal I was given a smaller slip to try on dresses. When I chose my dress I thought I would probably want a larger slip since it is a ballgown after all. I bought a larger slip and now I...
My fiancé is dead set on having a whole pig at our reception. He’s told all of his buddies and they’re so excited about it. I know we will need another meat option because that is definitely not for...
We’re working on out hashtag and the tips I’m finding online aren’t super helpful. We have no cute nicknames and not a whole lot of largely significant dates (we aren’t the couple who celebrate...
Anyone else have any wedding nightmares lately? My wedding planner has been very patiently waiting on me to choose a color scheme. We finally chose a color scheme, went to price out tuxedos, called...
I’m still 15 months out from the wedding but I haven’t touched or thought of anything wedding in a few months and I’m starting to wonder if there’s stuff I should be doing right now. So far we have:...
We’ve gone to look at bands a few times and I keep going back to this option. It is 3 tiny rings that they would make one band out of. I didn’t like the single band because it seemed to make the set...
Anyone DIYing shirts or any other things for you or your FH? Insert all things DIY here! I want to see what everyone else is making. Today I made these shirts for us to wear on our honeymoon but we...
We meet our wedding planner tomorrow and I know she’s going to ask the million dollar question again. What are your colors/theme? My wedding gown in an ivory ballgown. My neice will be my junior...
We went to the venue we loved to sign the contract and my fiancé nearly fainted and pulled the plug. It was a lot more than we intended on spending and most likely would have taken our 10-12k budget...
We FINALLY finalized a wedding date and found an amazing venue, photographer, planner, dj and church. We were talking about the date and how it sounded like we were talking on a police scanner. We’re...
Am I the only one who gets frustrated with vendors/venues telephone/business etiquette? I had my heart set on a venue and set up a tour. The ‘coordinator’ didn’t even show to give us the tour....
It’s me again. I know zero people who know proper wedding etiquette so this is my go to space for wedding questions. Sorry ladies and gents! My FH and I have an odd issue with invites. We both have...
I’m thinking about purchasing my decor and hiring my planner more for DOC than design to save a bit. Is there anyone that diy their ceremony reception that is similar to my inspiration pictures? I’m...
We have been engaged since December 2018. I want a winter-ish theme. We will have evergreen trees and greenery for decorations and the colors are mostly ivory & rose gold/gold. So a little...
I purchased my wedding shoes the same day I purchased my dress. They’re sparkly gold and zip up the back and so pretty! Well, I decided to wear them to an event this past Friday and my feet STILL...
Has anyone started with a larger budget and guest list and decided to cut down, a lot? We first thought we could have the wedding on a 5k budget (we live in a rural area with rather cheap venues)....
My fiancé proposed in December. He asked my dads permission and the whole nine yards. My dad cried whereas my mom told me that night that I “shouldn’t start planning too much because we’re not paying...
Any Southern Illinois brides? I’m near Carbondale and would love to hear about which venues/planners/vendors you like or have talked with.
Fiancé. The first night we were engaged we were both so giddy and stayed up for hours talking. He had to have said, “you’re my fiancé” 300 times that night. Lol. We’ve been together for 7 years and I...
