Are engagement photos worth it?
bappybride in Planning, on November 12, 2015 at 7:33 PM

Engagement photos aren't part of my photo package. How long does the typical session last? My photographer charges $300/hour. As of now, my FH and I will be doing some pre-ceremony pics...

My pro BAM! Tons of pics!
bappybride in Community Conversations, on September 14, 2016 at 2:57 PM

We got pro pics back pretty quickly and we love how they turned out! I don't have much to say... Wedding wire has been so fun to read and get ideas from, even if I posted only occasionally. So Thank...

I mostly lurk here but want to post a few pics from my wedding. Nearly everything was perfect! Literally the best day of my life.

Tipping the MUA
bappybride in Wedding Attire, on July 11, 2016 at 7:08 PM

The MUA I'm using requires cash up front for everyone she's working on (me, 3 BMs, FMIL, Aunt). I'm wondering how to handle tipping. I don't want to tip her before she does the work. Due to the...

MOH dress - too casual?
bappybride in Wedding Attire, on May 26, 2016 at 4:44 PM

So I'm letting my 2 bridesmaids pick their own dresses. I told them teal, knee length and semiformal. My MOH asked if this was ok. Too informal? If so, is it rude to ask her to pick something...

Which wedding band?
bappybride in Wedding Attire, on April 18, 2016 at 1:12 PM

We went band shopping last weekend and I can't decide between two styles. Pretend the one in this post is in white gold. Also pretend that the sample sizes fit! #1:

Our reception ends at 11... but it would be fun to go to a nearby bar and mingle some more with our guests. Does something like this require a reservation? Who determines the location: the couple,...

On-site babysitter
bappybride in Etiquette and Advice, on February 12, 2016 at 7:03 PM

So...I'm allowing kids at my wedding because I'd rather have our OOT parent friends attend than decline. However, I'd like to hire a babysitter at the venue to oversee the kids in a separate room...

Who is giving reception toasts?
bappybride in Etiquette and Advice, on January 26, 2016 at 3:17 PM

Who and/or how many total guests will be giving a toast at your reception? How long is too long for a speech, and how many speakers are too many? How did you decide which guests got to speak?

Found my dress!!
bappybride in Wedding Attire, on January 4, 2016 at 2:31 PM

I posted earlier trying to decide which one to go with. I'm really happy and excited now that I've picked it out! It's modern, edgy and sophisticated..not too feminine, which is my style. Yay!

Is a microphone necessary for my ceremony?
bappybride in Planning, on November 2, 2015 at 6:52 PM

Hi everyone, I'm having a short outdoor ceremony with between 130-150 guests. Again, I'm emphasizing short... definitely under 20 minutes. There will be maybe a welcoming statement, a couple readings,...
