Cake for thought- lessons learned
Candace in Wedding Reception, on April 1, 2022 at 9:43 PM

So, I love cake. I dreamed about the wedding cake so much. I think I tried out 5 bakeries and fawned over the details more than my dress. And actually paid more for the cakes! I had a 3-tier 6"8"10"...

Deep breath - one week away!
Candace in Planning, on March 11, 2022 at 9:10 AM

I woke up at the break of dawn this morning with all my lists flashing before my eyes. I don't believe I could possibly have thought of anything else to be prepared, but I doubt that's true! I have...

Bridal bouquet at reception - what do you do with it?
Candace in Wedding Reception, on February 24, 2022 at 2:35 PM

I'm very excited about my bouquet and paying a pretty penny for it. It will have flowers that are meaningful to us and I have a charm with my grandparents' photos to hang from it. I'm thinking about...

Are you having ushers? How many? What do they do?
Candace in Wedding Ceremony, on January 26, 2022 at 8:38 AM

Debating whether we want ushers at all. Initially, I wanted to assign teenage girls in my circle, my niece and two daughters of my friends. I thought it would be cute and would give them a small wrist...

I'm so happy with my photos! I just wanted to share. Our photographer spent about an hour following us around and giving us some prompts. My fiance was totally against engagement pictures - he thought...

FH and I decided on a rehearsal dinner location - a nice small town restaurant near our venue. We met with them and picked out the menu choices. We're going to have about 30 guests and have one long...

Dress sleeves - ideas needed
Candace in Wedding Attire, on January 14, 2022 at 12:43 PM

I purchased my dress and I'm super thrilled with it. Perfect in every way, but I'm underwhelmed by the straps. I am definitely wearing a cape veil at the ceremony and then if course taking it off at...

Invitation start time vs actual start time
Candace in Planning, on September 10, 2021 at 1:02 PM

As a guest, if your invite says 5:30, do you plan to be in your seat and waiting for the ceremony procession at 5:30? Or do you plan to get there at 5:30, park, and find your way to the seats? At your...

I've scoured the internet, Pinterest, and Insta for ideas but I can't seem to find enough pictures. There will be string lights in the trees over the ceremony seating. I have an idea to use string...

Groom's cake and wedding cake serving size
Candace in Planning, on August 22, 2021 at 11:13 AM

If you're having a groom's cake, do you reduce the size of your wedding cake? Let's say I'm planning for 130 guests. If I have a groom's cake that serves 50, should I keep the wedding cake at a 130...

Champagne on ice?
Candace in Wedding Reception, on August 18, 2021 at 11:36 AM

Our venue is an old dance hall with no room in the bar fridges to keep 20 bottles of champagne cold. How do you keep your champagne cold or do you? I'm considering a table just for the champagne....

Candace in Wedding Attire, on August 5, 2021 at 9:39 PM

I am in the research phase of looking for my wedding dress and I love the look of a watteau train or even a cape. But I am not finding many stores in my area of central Texas that have this option -...
