We haven't really started our registries yet (yes I know we're late to the game!). I can't decide which registries to post on our wedding website. We have signed up at Target and Macy's (nothing on...

Is Men's Wearhouse good? Or Jos A Bank? FH doesn't have a suit so we were thinking of buying him one.

FH comes from a LARGE family, he has 7 brothers and sisters, and over 30 cousins (many of whom are married with a few kids now) plus his many aunts and uncles and we just could not logically host all...

I got my dress a couple weeks ago from David's Bridal. It was the first and only dress I liked. I felt like maybe I should have slept on it but I didn't. So I do love the dress but I'm worried since I...

Our officiant will be our local parish priest. Do we send a formal invitation to him?

Did you have to buy it at a craft store, or can you rent it from somewhere? I like the chiffon-type drapery a lot but I'm also not opposed to tulle. Is it very expensive? Where did you find yours? We...

I want to add long sleeves for my winter wedding. I don't want to do a bolero. The dress has straps like a tank top would. Has anyone added sleeves to their gowns? Was it easy or difficult, was it...

How much did your alterations cost and what did you have done? I need to shorten my dress, and I would also like to add long sleeves, but have no idea how much any of this will or should cost.

So my ER and wedding band are both white gold. I plan to wear my great grandmothers ring on my right hand which is yellow gold. I was also thinking about wearing a pearl necklace I got for my 16th...

I got a dress that has straps (sort of like like a tank top) and I plan to add sleeves. Not a bolero, real sewn on sleeves, most likely lace sleeves. I'm not sure how to find a tailor to do this. Has...

Bought my dress last week, now I'm looking for veils. I originally wanted a chapel-length veil but I found one that I LOVE and it's knee-length. Still debating if I should buy it. What veil...

I want to get a lace-trim veil, sort of like a mantilla style veil. But the dress I ordered has a lace pattern on it that is unique and I can't find anything similar. Is it fine if the lace on the...

Since we are getting married in January, that leaves us less daylight in which to take our photos. The sun sets around 5:07pm. Our (Catholic mass) ceremony is currently set to start at 2pm so it will...

I just found out that the bridal boutique I didn't go to because I thought it was too expensive is having a 70% off sale which would make their dresses majorly affordable. I want to go look but I...

Did it bring you closer together? Push you further apart? Something else? Just curious to see how it has affected people differently.

Please don't feel confined to only a few dress styles and silhouette types. You can try on any type of dress you want! Don't let online articles and pushy consultants convince you that you can only...

I'm having some trouble finding bridesmaid dresses that are more affordable but also pretty with some variety in color. What store/stores did you find your bridesmaids dresses?

We picked our photographer a few months ago and put down a deposit and signed a contract. I was looking through her newer photos that she posted since we booked and it seems like her style has changed...
