The bridal salon where I purchased my wedding dress has an in-house seamstress that could do any alterations for me. I was quoted about $450 or greater. I do see the convenience of getting...

I’m considering hiring a day-of-coordinator for our wedding. I’m stressing myself thinking of all the little things that we need to get done on our wedding day and I really don’t want myself or my...

We’re reaching the 6 month mark and I feel like I’m slacking! I picked up my wedding dress this past weekend, and alterations won’t be started until July/August. We have an appointment for my FH’s...

Y’all, I need to share this ridiculousness with you! A little back story: about a few weeks after we sent out save the dates, my FH received a text from his close childhood friend (who he has hardly...

I plan on buying fake flower sets to put together my own bouquets and boutonnières. The website I plan on using appears to be going out of stock frequently for the sets that I want. I know it’s in...

Scheduling my FH’s appointment for suit shopping and we’re unsure of who is supposed to go with him (me, best man, etc.). Ladies, did you go shopping with your groom? If not, who accompanied him?

Just got the call that my wedding dress is in!! My wedding is in October, and I wasn’t expecting my dress to come in for about another 3 months. I have an appointment next week to try it on and take...

My FH likes jewelry although he doesn’t go out of his way to buy himself anything, so I really wanna get him something special. Something that’s him, if that makes sense. He also has a physical job,...

Let me start off by saying ill fitted suits bother my SOUL. My fiancée is open to renting or buying a suit for our big day. He already knows I’m a spazz about the fit so we’re not really sure what the...

What are you guys foregoing for your weddings? It’s so easy to get wrapped up in the most minute details. I’m interested to see what you guys are leaving out. I am foregoing dinner menus and ceremony...

Our wedding venues have extremely limited street parking (it’s the city). Most likely, guests will have to use one of the many options of paid parking. Our reception venue also offers a valet service...

Tell me if this makes sense to y'all at all. So this restaurant I'm looking at for a reception dinner quoted me $5,000 food/beverage minimum before tax and tip. For 3 hrs....25 people. That's...

I know the bridesmaids get bouquets and the groomsmen get boutonnières. I plan on getting corsages as well for my mom and his mom (our fathers won’t be present). My question is: who all do I get...

My FH and I are eloping to Colorado next year and we are able to have 25 guests in attendance. We have spoken with our nearest and dearest and let them know that we would love for them to come IF THEY...

My fiancée and I recently ditched our original wedding plans and are gonna elope instead. We are already booked for our elopement. I’m not entirely sure how all this works. I have so many questions....

My fiancée and I are eloping in Colorado Springs next year with our nearest and dearest in attendance. We are from Chicago and are not too familiar with the area. Any recommendations on a...

FH and I just completely dropped our current wedding plans! Cancellation notices are signed and we’re only out about $1,700 as we’re still early in the game. This wedding is 100% out of our own...

So my fiancée and I are torn on whether we should continue our wedding plans or just elope. This wedding for 100 guests is going to take a considerable amount of our savings. More than we’d like. I’m...
