Long burning tealights?
BecomingBailey in Style and Décor, on May 10, 2016 at 9:17 AM

I have some that I'm going to do a trial run on to see how long they go for. But wondering if any of you have any experience with a certain brand that you know won't fizzle out after 3 hours. I'm...

BAB and still recovering
BecomingBailey in Planning, on July 13, 2016 at 1:47 PM

We had our joint bachelor/bachelorette party in Vegas last weekend. I totally recommend the joint thing. It was so much fun to have so many of our good friends celebrating with us together. Friday...

Non-pro BAMB! And some pro teasers
BecomingBailey in Style and Décor, on September 2, 2016 at 7:41 PM

Back and Married, Bitches! I was going to wait until we got pro pics and just do a pro BAM but I'm impatient. And having post wedding depression. I'll save all the words for the Pro BAM but thought...

Pro BAM video teaser
BecomingBailey in Planning, on August 29, 2016 at 4:37 PM

I am still gathering my thoughts and photos to do a full BAM but I just had to share our video teaser. I watch it over and over again. The hubs didn't really get the point of a videographer but gave...

Lip tints & stains
BecomingBailey in Wedding Attire, on August 4, 2016 at 12:56 PM

So I've finally decided to get off my butt and get my lip choice figured out. I have tons of Mac lipsticks that I love but FH doesn't want it to transfer to him and I can't blame him. I found this one...

Groomsman gifts are in and they're awesome!
BecomingBailey in Community Conversations, on July 29, 2016 at 4:32 PM

So excited how they turned out just had to share. Kind of feeling guilty now because the bridesmaid gifts aren't nearly as cool. The top pic is an ammo can and we'll put everything in them. Bottom pic...

Etsy/pinterest knock offs- success
BecomingBailey in Do It Yourself, on July 26, 2016 at 12:14 PM

So I saw some really cute signs on etsy and I just couldn't justify the money for signs that would probably end up in the firepit. I have a friend who makes vinyl decals, my dad already had the wood...

Show me your belts!
BecomingBailey in Planning, on July 16, 2016 at 12:52 PM

I know this has been asked in the past but I need some extra help. I've already ordered 2 and they just aren't right. And everything I find is either too gaudy or not enough. I can't find a happy...

August brides-officially next month
BecomingBailey in Planning, on July 1, 2016 at 9:14 AM

I didn't see one already started. (Thanks for the wakeup call, Kristen!) Where are we all at? What do you still need to get done? It seems like once we hit the 100 day mark it's been comin' in hot! We...

Hair trial-LOVE
BecomingBailey in Wedding Attire, on July 1, 2016 at 12:27 PM

Had my hair trial last Sunday. Needs a little tweaking for the braids to match but overall I'm loving it! I had planned to do up for the ceremony and down for the reception but I might just love it...

DOC meeting and table mock up
BecomingBailey in Planning, on June 27, 2016 at 6:27 PM

We had our first DOC meeting yesterday and did a table mock up where the reception will be. I'm loving how it's coming together but always welcoming feedback. Where all my craft beer girls at?

Awesome weekend playing bride & BAS
BecomingBailey in Community Conversations, on May 16, 2016 at 8:17 PM

The weekend started off awesome with Friday being our 3 month mark. Plus the bridal salon called me to let me know my dress is in, which got me a little choked up (what the?!). Saturday was my bridal...

In the evening or afternoon?
BecomingBailey in Etiquette and Advice, on May 15, 2016 at 8:27 PM

We've decided on 5 O'clock for our ceremony start time and are about to order invites. So the question up in the air is, is it 5 in the afternoon or 5 in the evening? I already know what google tells...

How important is a cake/cutting to you?
BecomingBailey in Etiquette and Advice, on May 12, 2016 at 9:34 AM

As a bride? As a guest, do you expect to see the couple cutting the cake? We aren't having cake (we're having donuts, the only cake we like is funfetti) and therefore not cutting a cake. My brother,...

What are you doing with your flowers?
BecomingBailey in Planning, on May 4, 2016 at 4:14 PM

What are you all doing with your flowers after the wedding? We are giving them to a local nursing home and curious if anyone else is doing anything similar or any other creative ideas?

Unique extra guest question
BecomingBailey in Etiquette and Advice, on April 27, 2016 at 11:57 AM

So my step grandma (who is my only grandma left and been in my life for 25+ years) is too old and frail to bring herself to the wedding. But she really wants to come, and we really want her there. My...

The plus side to Save the Dates
BecomingBailey in Planning, on April 25, 2016 at 9:50 PM

At least you will know which addresses you had wrong before sending invites! Literally all 3 sent back were from FH'S mom. She gave us WAY wrong addresses. As in we have no idea where she even came up...

Show me your DIY pocket invites
BecomingBailey in Do It Yourself, on April 13, 2016 at 6:07 PM

Invites have got my mind spinning. The ones I really want are a tri fold pocket but super expensive and I just can't justify it when I know it's going to end up in quite a few trash cans. So I am...

Make up trial help
BecomingBailey in Wedding Attire, on April 11, 2016 at 6:59 PM

Ok so I'll start by saying I am very good at my own makeup and so far quite a few people have asked why I'm not doing my own. I don't really want to deal with it that day to be honest. Plus I'd be...

Who to seat
BecomingBailey in Etiquette and Advice, on April 7, 2016 at 11:00 PM

I've got to be honest, I guess I've never paid much attention to anything before the bridal party at the tons of weddings I've been to and FH and I are a little stumped. So I am curious who you had...
