Plus size brides in getting-ready robes?
Amanda in Wedding Attire, on August 22, 2016 at 3:30 PM

I've seen a ton of photos of thinner brides in those cute satin robes as they got ready on their wedding day. But I realized I never saw any of plus size brides wearing them. Plus size brides, what...

What's the right thing to do as a wife?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on February 25, 2017 at 4:58 AM

Husband recently quit his job; it was solely commission based and he wants something steady so I supported this decision. I have a chronic illness and can't work due to medical reasons (otherwise I...

Has anyone taken extra photos after the wedding in your dress? Photographer opinions appreciated!!
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on February 15, 2017 at 12:37 AM

We were crunched on time, light, and bad weather on our wedding day so we didn't have a lot of time for couples portraits. Instead of an engagement session, we decided we are going to do a newlywed...

BAM!!! Non-pro (plus pro sneak peeks!)
Amanda in Community Conversations, on January 14, 2017 at 10:38 PM

Finally married! It was honestly the best day of my life. I know everyone says that but it's so true! I have never had more fun than I did on 1-7-17. The weather was so-so/kinda crappy but everything...

We crafted up our own drink but we need a name for it! It's got white rum, guava juice, lemon juice, tonic water, and a tiny bit of raspberry syrup. The drink is light pink. Our last name will be...

Is Ali Express a legit website?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on December 21, 2016 at 10:43 PM

I've been looking for favor boxes and have been having trouble finding what I'm looking for (something that will fit 2 See's Candies truffles in them). AliExpress.com has some boxes but I'm not sure...

Not sure what to do about makeup artist!!!
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on December 20, 2016 at 4:03 AM

I booked a makeup artist in spring who told me I should do my trial 1-2 months before the wedding. In November I went in for the trial and the makeup rubbed off almost immediately after I left. So she...

When to send thank you notes?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on December 13, 2016 at 7:46 PM

We've begun receiving wedding gifts in the mail, and I was wondering, do I send the thank you notes as soon as we receive the gifts? Someone mentioned waiting to send any thank you notes until after...

Makeup trial worries
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on November 27, 2016 at 5:16 PM

So I had my hair and makeup trial today and the hair looked absolutely beautiful but the makeup is a problem. It didn't look bad or anything but the problem is that it just wiped off! It came off on...

Help me choose engagement photo outfits?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on November 24, 2016 at 7:18 AM

I believe we get to do two outfits. I've put together a couple but I'm having trouble choosing. I'm definitely wearing this one. The others will be posted one by one below (sorry on mobile) and I need...

Hair & makeup trial same day as engagement photos..?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on November 23, 2016 at 7:56 AM

I scheduled my hair & makeup trial on the same day as our engagement photos, partly because we were running low on free weekends, partly because the MUA suggested this, and partly because I decided I...

What is your FH doing for the bachelor party?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on November 16, 2016 at 11:36 PM

FH and his groomsmen are under the impression that a bachelor party HAS TO be a full weekend away somewhere. Problem is he has no fully free weekends leading up to the wedding. So I told him just do...

Do you tip at the hair/makeup trial?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on November 12, 2016 at 9:14 PM

And if so how much percentage wise? I wasn't sure. Just want to come prepared!

Anyone been to or had a wedding with succulent favors?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on November 8, 2016 at 4:10 PM

One of our ideas for a favor was a mini succulent, and our DOC thinks we should do those over the other ideas. I'm worried no one will take them though! She says people like them and usually take them...

Amanda in Planning, on November 10, 2016 at 7:11 AM

I'm trying to come up with some classic jazzy type songs that couples/pairs can dance to. Obviously there is Frank Sinatra but what other songs/singers? Ella Fitzgerald is another we know of and like....

Did anyone get their invitations hand-cancelled?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on November 2, 2016 at 12:45 PM

I really want to do it but the man at the post office is kind of a grump and I'm scared to ask him lol. Has anyone done this and did the post office worker not mind, or did they hate you for it? Any...

Black shoes for the bride?!?
Amanda in Wedding Attire, on November 1, 2016 at 7:59 AM

I got some shoes for the wedding and while they are absolutely gorgeous, the heel is too high for me to wear them all night. I'm very picky with shoes, plus I have wide feet so finding a good and...

DIY belly bands for my invitations!
Amanda in Do It Yourself, on October 30, 2016 at 4:35 PM

I didn't want to pay a ton per invitation for belly bands so I decided to DIY them. I think they turned out pretty well! What do you guys think?

Should I send another message?
Amanda in Etiquette and Advice, on October 24, 2016 at 7:38 PM

We decided to book a cake baker and messaged her at the end of September. She sent us an invoice at the beginning of October for a specific order. Before we made a payment, FH and I discussed a...
