Yesterday, I sent out our rehearsal invites (online) and got all of our RSVP's in just one day -- it keeps guest information organized and allows you the option to follow up! I also received tons of...

I'm second guessing the size of our guest list. We haven't yet sent invites out but we did send out Save the Dates. Our wedding is in July and FH and I invited about 53 guests, but I keep thinking I...

I had my h/mu trial today and beforehand, I was feeling very anxious. Okay-- here's the trial. Honestly, I felt like I was going to cry because I felt like it didn't look like me, but we tweaked it a...
I woke up feeling very anxious today. I have a lot of insecurities about my appearance and the thought of hair and makeup is giving me a lot of anxious feelings. I don't typically wear much makeup and...
I picked out this dress years ago when my Noni suggested we "play" and try on wedding dresses. This was the first dress I ever tried on and I bought it! Didn't even think I could EVER see myself in a...
