Wedding Hair with Alopecia
AJ in Hair and Makeup, on March 29, 2018 at 4:16 PM

I've had alopecia areata my whole life, and while it's tough sometimes, I've honestly always felt fairly lucky in the baldness pattern I have, since you can't even tell when my hair is down. But I'm...

Too Much Cake 😭
AJ in Community Conversations, on October 4, 2018 at 9:40 PM

Guys I am eating waaaaaaaay too much cake this week! Send help! We came home with our ENTIRE tiered cake (minus the slice we cut) because the caterer cut the sheet cake and put it out before we'd cut...

*more photos in the comments* Yesterday was wonderful! We had a very DIY wedding, and even with tons of help Friday was VERY stressful. Thankfully it all paid off and Saturday went off with no issues...

Accurate Appetizer Amounts?
AJ in Wedding Reception, on September 22, 2018 at 2:28 PM

We are catering our own appetizers for cocktail hour and a calculator gave me this list for amounts to buy. It seems like too much for 100 people in a one hour timeframe immediately before a BBQ...

End of Night Outfit?
AJ in Style and Décor, on September 16, 2018 at 2:14 PM

I planned to wear my dress all night and until we get to the hotel we're staying at, but it's so poofy I don't think I can get in a car with it on (at least without damaging it). Anyone else having to...

Which Do You Prefer?
AJ in Wedding Reception, on September 9, 2018 at 11:02 AM

As a guest at a wedding, how do you prefer to find your seat... One large chart sorted by table? Individual escort cards sorted by name? Place cards already on tables? No assigned seats?

AJ in Style and Décor, on August 31, 2018 at 5:42 PM

For cost efficiency, we were going to use baby's breath as our only centerpiece floral. The plan was to DIY some mercury glass vases, order bulk baby's breath from Costco, and arrange it ourselves the...

Most Realistic Result Brow Pencils?
AJ in Hair and Makeup, on August 25, 2018 at 10:09 AM

Long story short, I have alopecia areata and one of my eyebrows has decided the month before my wedding is the perfect time to switch things up after 20 years. It's almost entirely gone now, meanwhile...

Alterations Snag
AJ in Style and Décor, on August 22, 2018 at 6:48 PM

I brought my dress in for alterations in early July, but my wedding isn't until 9/29. I brought it so early in case it needed any bodice work (lots of appliques). It ended up only needing the sleeves...
