BeachBride2016 in Wedding Attire, on August 19, 2016 at 10:36 AM

Where did you buy your longline bra at an affordable price? I need one with a lower back for my dress. I've been watching some on Amazon and all seem to be $60 but maybe that is what they go...

BeachBride2016 in Etiquette and Advice, on July 26, 2016 at 10:33 AM

I'm working on our invites and matching RSVP postcards. We are having our ceremony on the beach (behind the hotel) with a reception in the hotel's ballroom. I'd say it's a smart casual sort of dress...
