Besides the BFFs, siblings, or cousins in your wedding party, how will you be incorporating your family and friends in your wedding ceremony? Will they do a reading, take part in a handfasting or...
A diamond is often a traditional pick for an engagement ring, but if you were born in April it's also your birthstone! Does anyone else have their birthstone (or that of someone important to you) as...
I'm just curious...for those of you who jumped the broom during your wedding ceremony, what do you plan to do, or what did you do with the broom afterwards? Right now, I have our jump broom in our...
In the interest of sharing some of the great vendors we've found, let us know who you've booked for photography! If you've already had your wedding and/or engagement pics post one and let us know why...
For those of you getting married in New Orleans: how are you incorporating the city's culture in your wedding day? Food, decor, traditions? I got married this past summer in New Orleans and despite...
What did you fall in love with about your venue? Was it a grand staircase? Outdoor ceremony space? The view? Our venue was a museum in New Orleans that had a collection that was meaningful to me and...

When I was planning our wedding, I wanted it to have a romantic, vintage feeling and the first thing that came to my mind was milk glass. But, I ran into issues with finding enough pieces at an...
I'm getting married just over a week from now in New Orleans (July 14th!). I'm thinking about all worst case weather scenarios - hot, humid, stormy...not my ideal. Anyone have tips to share for...
I'm finally getting around to doing a BAM post after our summer wedding. Lots of words, some pics. New Orleans, LA Venue: Le Musee de f.p.c. Photographer: Becky Cooper Photography Dress: David’s...
Much maligned and often left behind, wedding favors are frequently suggested as an item budget conscious couples can safely cut. But some of us can't resist these little touches. Let's hear about your...
I live in California, but I want to dress shop with my mom who lives in Connecticut. I will likely not be able to do so until the winter, so I am looking for bridal shops that are exclusively plus or...
I'm itching to get our wedding photos back because I've promised our moms photobooks. I originally was planning to make them on Shutterfly since I see ads and coupons for them all the time, but am...
Hello everybody! I got married just over a week ago and wanted to add my budget breakdown. We had an original budget window of $8,500 to $10,000 plus whatever tips. We ended up on the...
I just popped in to say we got married this past Saturday! I didn't think I would say this, but it really was the best day. DH cried, I cried, everybody cried. We danced. We ate. We cried. We laughed....
