All My Vendors are Booked! I'm shocked.
auberginequeen in Planning, on March 4, 2016 at 1:24 PM

I can't believe it! I just gave my deposit for the cake and the florist! I'm kind of stunned that so much is done. I think I'm in a place now where I can sort of . . . take a break from wedding stuff...

Wedding Party Drama
auberginequeen in Etiquette and Advice, on March 2, 2016 at 10:24 AM

Sorry for starting two threads in such a short time! It's a rarity for me I promise! A few years ago when I was living in another city I joked about my two best guy friends wearing dresses and being...

auberginequeen in Community Conversations, on March 2, 2016 at 9:12 AM

I posted a little while ago when I was nervous for an interview and received great advice from all of you. I almost didn't do it, but I used Alyson and Belle's advice about power posing and couldn't...

Flower Advice?
auberginequeen in Planning, on February 21, 2016 at 7:03 PM

Hi all. I have my first consultation with a florist tomorrow. She sent a sheet with a lot of questions and I'm pretty stumped. Flowers are the area I'm paying the least attention to. Only do bridal...

NWR: Job Interview Aaaaaah
auberginequeen in Community Conversations, on February 17, 2016 at 5:28 PM

I have a job interview tomorrow. I'm really nervous because the last one I had went HORRIBLY. It was really embarrassingly bad, and even though I really need either a 2nd part -time job or a full -...

Cake Consultation - Questions
auberginequeen in Planning, on February 10, 2016 at 12:47 PM

I have my first cake consultation tomorrow and I'm not sure what to expect? When I searched on here, I noticed most people had "consultation and tasting." They didn't mention a tasting, I had figured...

Did any of you have feathers in your bouquet (or are you?) Show me!
auberginequeen in Planning, on February 9, 2016 at 4:15 PM

I'm using feathers in the reception hall and was thinking of using some in my bouquet as well. I've seen some online examples but I'd love to see some real life ones from any of you ladies who've had...

Getting Flower/Cake Quotes Super Early?
auberginequeen in Planning, on February 8, 2016 at 1:05 PM

I still have 9 months until the wedding and all the timelines say to wait, but would it be okay if I still contacted bakeries and florists now, even if I wasn't going to book quite yet? My budget is...

NWR: Taxes.
auberginequeen in Community Conversations, on February 5, 2016 at 3:45 PM

Ugh, who else hates tax time? I have to pay for the first time, every other year I've gotten money back. It's a small amount but I'm really surprised! I make $15/hr but only work 20 hours a...

auberginequeen in Community Conversations, on January 28, 2016 at 8:16 PM

DIY DJers, what equipment did you rent?
auberginequeen in Do It Yourself, on January 25, 2016 at 11:34 AM

We've decided to go the DIY route for the DJ since the photographer and venue/food/bar is taking up too much of the budget and we only need music for 3 hours anyway plus we only have about 60 people...

Question for those of you with secular weddings
auberginequeen in Planning, on January 22, 2016 at 12:32 PM

I was wondering if you would still book vendors who seemed particularly religious? I don't care what my vendors believe in general, but I've been looking at photographers, and some of them go on and...

auberginequeen in Planning, on January 16, 2016 at 6:55 PM

So I happened to drive by my hotel venue today and saw a new temporary sign hung on top of their old one! I have heard nothing about this from them! I googled and saw they were bought out by Wyndham...

auberginequeen in Community Conversations, on January 11, 2016 at 10:30 AM

So FH and I have been together 3 years now, living together for 1 and still haven't had any real conflicts. We went to BB&B to do our registry the other day and now I think I know where some of those...

Do I Still Invite These Guests?
auberginequeen in Etiquette and Advice, on January 10, 2016 at 11:42 AM

So I have a lot of extended family out of state, some whom I'm close with, some whom I'm not. I talked to the aunt I'm closest with a while ago about who she thought would actually come, and she said...
