I was wondering what your experiences were with men's warehouse in regards to how soon you should rent the suit? When I was filling out info for the bridal party and picking out possible suits for the...

Bilingual Wedding
Chellie in Planning, on April 17, 2018 at 9:32 PM

I'm feeling a little nervous about our wedding whenever I think about things that aren't diys and bridesmaid dresses. I'm Mexican as are both of my parents. Their first language is Spanish, as is 70%...

Azazie bridesmaid dresses
Chellie in Wedding Attire, on April 15, 2018 at 8:44 PM

What are your experiences with Azazie? I'm very wary of ordering clothing from online only retailers, since you can't see it in person. I was originally going to have my bridesmaids get their dresses...

Bridesmaid/bridal shoes.
Chellie in Wedding Attire, on April 12, 2018 at 6:31 PM

I'm letting my bridesmaids pick their preferred shoe so that they're comfortable, but I just want them all to wear the same color as their dresses aren't floor length. My bridesmaids will be in...

Wedding guests (or lack of)
Chellie in Planning, on April 10, 2018 at 3:14 AM

This is more of a vent, really. I'm not trying to be the person who says they have no friends, when I do, but a good portion of people I consider friends are coworkers. I've been working at this small...
