We are getting married in November. I expected to be weather stalking a lot in the 10 days right before the wedding. I didn't expect to be weather stalking in August. The Old Farmer's Almanac just...
We've run into a bit of a dilemma with our venue. The chairs that are offered by our venue are banquet chairs with red backs/seats, similar to the photo below. When we booked our venue, I got the...
FH and I are getting to the point in our planning where we need to make a decision about what kind of alcohol to serve (having an open bar). We are definitely serving beer and liquor. We are beer...
I know you aren't supposed to plan your own shower, but it seems like my mom & MOH (who are technically planning the shower for me) don't know that. When I first got engaged, they both immediately...
...but it's not what you think. This morning, this article popped up in my Facebook news feed, and I felt like it was worth sharing here. I know that I, for one, find myself stressing out way too much...
To those of you who had (or plan to have) a boudoir session done, how did you give your pictures to FH? I really wanted to print them in a Shutterfly photo book, but my session only comes with 10 or...
FH and I are planning to include our grandparents (less common) and parents (more common/typical) in our processional. FH's family has some complicated family relationships, though, and I'm not sure...
This morning it occurred to me that we may have some guests only attending the ceremony (my boss for one is known to do this at employee weddings). I was only planning to have our card box at the...
We {finally} had a testing and booked our caterer over the weekend!! This is the last "big" booking that we needed to do before the big day! The only thing that concerns me is that they don't offer a...
My crafty little brother cut & assembled our barn wood centerpiece stands last night (so excited!), so I rushed home & made a practice-mock-up of our table settings. Pics below. I only put together...
Yesterday, I posted about my DIY boutonnieres and asked for advice. A lot of people told me to change the stem color. Below are four pictures (one in comments) of four different stem materials. 1 -...
A few weeks ago, I posted about my first makeup trial and about how I was really unhappy with it. Before switching MUA's, I wanted to give my MUA another try. I'm glad I did-- the second trial was...
I made fabric flower bouquets for me and my 2 bridesmaids, so I decided to DIY the boutonnieres (& corsages, at some point) so that I didn't have a mix of fabric & real flowers. I was happy with how...
Our invitation suite is semi-informal and the invitations themselves are large, so we aren't using inner envelopes. We are also having an adult-only reception. When I ordered our invitations, it never...
FH's mother passed away ten years ago from cancer. We will be honoring her memory with a short poem in the program and a lit pillar candle (with a poem on it) near us at the ceremony. If you were us,...
... the outside of your venue (ceremony/reception/both)? Or aren't you? I have most of the decor for the inside of our ceremony and reception figured out, but I'm not sure how to decorate the outside...
I'm just starting to look around for a flower girl dress. Just curious to see where others found theirs. Please feel free to share pics, too!! Thanks!!
I work in a super-small office, and I usually spend my evenings either at home or at the gym. Looking at my boring khaki's, worn-out Mary Janes, and goodwill-purchased purple cotton shirt today, I...
For those of you who did (or are doing) a first look, what location did you (will you) use?? Did you take them indoors or outdoors? Was there a secluded location at your ceremony venue, or did you...
Just passing along word that Vistaprint is on Groupon again; I just bought one to help pay for my invites!! http://www.groupon.com/deals/vistaprint-42-pittsburgh
