136So I went to my first bridal show yesterday. It was enlightening. I went in knowing my budget is on the low end but MAN, I'm realizing it may be lower than I thought. I could only find one or...
We are doing stations so we can either do something a bit more coherent (i.e a carving station with mashed potato bar that works together well and maybe a pasta bar for the veg option) or have more...
I haven't found anything I like for a guest book and realized I can actually get any art print I like with a good enough amount of white space and have people sign that. I'm not sure I'll do this but...
I actually wrote my BAM five weeks ago when everything was fresh so there's a lot!!! I'll do pictures first! There's so many I'll probably include more in a reply below! But before that I just...
Hi all, I wish my first post after marriage was my BAM (waiting on pro pics) but I'm at my wits end in tears trying to figure out name change issues at the DMV. I missed the huge warning on my local...
I'm sitting here sipping my morning coffee before sunrise, impatiently waiting for it to get light out so I can load up my car! As of this exact second I don't feel sick and no giant cold sore so two...
I never get my nails done, and asked for the sturdiest option for fear of messing them up before my wedding Saturday. I ended up getting dip but can't find a lot of information on how to keep them...
Everytime I check the weather it's a few degrees colder for my wedding on Saturday!!!! It'll be cloudy and the high is 66/67. I'm guessing past peak heat of day we are looking at low 60s with no sun....
So here I was feeling like EVERYTHING was done when my photographer emails me to touch base and make sure we have a plan/list so nothing gets missed and I'm like...uh. 😶 I went with an events company...
I just got a call from my officiant that started with "Don't panic but..." He's sick enough that he doesn't think he'll be able to officiate. BUT because I went with an events company he was calling...
I feel the tingle and I'm 6 or so days away! I just started taking Valtrex, Lysine, and have an OTC ointment that's worked for me in the past. I don't see a sore YET but has anyone has success...
I know tons of brides do cupcakes for their wedding and I just found out about cupcake bouquets and want to share the idea. It's such a unique and fun way to display cupcakes. Mine isn't practical...
So, we are in SC in Feb where it can be in the 70s or 50s and jumps between the two ranges weekly. I have no idea if I should be purchasing a shawl for myself (I'd never ever wear a white shawl again...
For context, I've been having the week from hell at work so I know I'm already stressed and miserable. Perspective is seriously appreciated and needed. I'm only TEN days out and feeling work stress...
So I realized I wanted to post all the things I wish I could tell myself a year ago. Hopefully others at earlier stages find these lessons useful so I thought I'd share. Feel free to add your own! 1....
So last night I went for my 7:30 fitting. The alterations guy (who I am obsessed with and think is amazing) said he had just left one minor seam to finish because he really felt he wanted to see the...
So FH doesn't understand why I'm even setting up hotel blocks. He thinks its very above and beyond. But my entire side is flying in, how could I not? Anyway, the closest hotels are 15-20 minutes from...
I am two weeks out as of tomorrow and my list is FINALLY DONE. I mean down to everything packed up to go to venue, tip envelopes made (can be adjusted based on day of service of course), contact info...
I've spent a lot of time trying to make wedding easier and enjoyable for others. I've worried it wont be memorable because I've kept it simple. I haven't really actually put myself first mentally. So...
I never wear contacts or makeup, so for me, the makeup trial was a big transformation. I took a before picture right before getting in the car to go and WOW, I felt like I had a whole makeover. It...
