Today is yet another day that I am completely frustrated that my FH doesn't care about the wedding, and doesn't think he has to. It would be one thing if it were an event that had nothing to do with...
This may be a dumb question. My caterer says I should have salad plates (in addition to the 10 in dinner plates I'd already planned on having) "for overflow". However, The food will all be served in...
Now I know how all the ladies on here feel when they post their week-before threads! How's it going April 1/2/3 ladies? I met with my day-of coordinators last night and we went over everything....and...
After over a year of anticipation and planning, the day is so, so close. Everything is coming together and it's hitting home hardcore that this thing is HAPPENING! I did my seating chart (which seemed...
Starting an April 2016 bride progress post because OMG IT'S HAPPENING IN 67 DAYS! Because of the huge snowstorm (and being snowed in) I made so much progress. I did ALL of the centerpieces for our...
I'm running into a bit of a conundrum here. The area around my venue is not exactly the most picturesque. There is, however, a huge, gorgeous garden/park right down the road from where we are getting...
Last Saturday, my FSIL and FMIL hosted my bridal shower. I also had my hair trial in the morning (and since I’m doing my own makeup, I decided to do a kind of “trial” on myself , too). I liked what...
Hoping for some help from fellow wine lovers/more experienced planners. We have an evening reception with sushi/cheese/charcuterie/crudité during cocktail hour and pesto chicken, mango salmon, and...
Long story short, I snagged this $2k Catherine Deane wedding gown on ebay for $50 when looking for a rehearsal dinner dress. It was too pretty not to bid and it was SO CHEAP. I received...
Ceremony is set to start at 6:00. It'll probably take 20 mins, but let's say 6:30 just in case we start late or run late or something. Reception site is in the same building, down one flight of...
In a recent thread the sage advice you ladies gave me convinced me that a first look will solve most of our timeline issues and make our day more relaxed. However (and I do not mean to offend anyone...
Has anyone had a friend/family member (who got ordained through one of those online services) marry them in Virginia? I have looked it up online but it doesnt seem totally clear if VA recognizes their...
I wrote about this before: FMIL very nicely offered to host rehearsal dinner. Then she decided that with too many OOT guests, she was going to do an "open house" from 4-9pm with finger food or some...
We just received a quote from our caterer. Food prices are good and I think the quote is relatively fair after having received other quotes (for food only, we were not previously looking for...
Our wedding will be right at the beginning of April. This year it was fairly chilly in April, with some days not getting out of the 40's. Historically, the low is 40 and the high is around 62 degrees...
My awesome FMIL is hosting the rehearsal dinner. I'm grateful because my family can't really contribute anything for financial and distace reasons--she knows that, so there was no discussion, she just...
I have been trying on dresses like a mad man, and nothing seemed quite right. Walked into a sample sale yesterday and bought this lovely dress at a great discount (it's practically brand new and is a...
My MOH is my BFF. We go way back, and I consider her closer than most of my family. When I became engaged, she indicated that, as her wedding gift to me, she wanted to purchase my wedding dress for me...
