We have the hotel booked already, for next July, but not the plane tickets or activities. We'll mostly stay on Oahu, but plan to spend a day on Big Hawaii to visit the Volcano National Park, and we...

My now husband's (yay!) parents helped us so SO much before, during and after the wedding. They did a lot of work putting tents up, financial help, letting guests use their house, cleaning up after,...

We are planning to stay in Quebec City for the second leg of our honeymoon, and I am hoping to find a place that has a lot of privacy. There are some B&Bs and tons of hotels, but I was wondering if...

So I'm trying to pick out readings that several relatives will be doing during the ceremony, and many of the ones I like have lines that are written in the first person. For example, "I love you," or...

A friend of mine casually offered to do makeup and hair if my BMs and/or I want it for the wedding. I said yes, thank you, because that's a very nice offer. Months later, another friend offered to do...

So I found out that FH's groomsmen want to take him on a 7-day cruise to the Bahamas for his Bachelor party in May, about 1.5 month before we get married. They've only told him to take off work, he...

So we've been planning and researching for a trip to Hawaii for months, but even with a cheap hotel cost we figure the total cost will be about $5-6000. With 6 months to go, FH heard a friend...

I thinking of having either a small flower crown or just a few flowers in my hair, but I was wondering if anyone has done this kind of thing and would be willing to share what their florist charged...

Ok, so this is the one aspect out of everything we have to do that is stressing me out the most. I have no clue how to know how many rooms to block, or how this process works. I've called some hotels...

Live bands are really expensive and something about a DJ just strikes us the wrong way--the lights, the cheesy introductions, idk. Plus our venue hall isn't gigantic. We're thinking of burning our own...

We are trying to save money wherever we can while still putting together a decent wedding. FH argued that we don't really need bridesmaid bouquets, and I thought up what I think is a pretty good...

I'm thinking about surprising my guy with a home-made groom's cake at our low-key rehearsal dinner (dirtbike themed, because he loves riding). I'm trying to think of other ideas along the way, to keep...

So, my mother is very excited to go shopping for an MOB dress. However, I know that she is extremely poor (and irresponsible), and the day will come where we are forced to admit we need to find a...

We're trying to save as much money as possible; FH thinks we should spend as little as possible on the hotel and put it into the fun activities, and I'm cool with that. However, as I'm researching...

We have a reception place booked in Narragansett but I have my heart set on an outdoor ceremony (no church) that is on the water, but not actually a beach. (Picky, I know!) I am looking for outdoors,...

I don't know much about bridal showers yet, but I'm looking into it. A lot of the "popular themes" are kind of racy (lingerie, cocktails) or seem meant for a small group of women (spa day, getaway...

FH thinks it would be an awful lot of money just to look nice getting in and out of a car. We were discussing maybe having just our own cars and driving ourselves. Is this completely crazy? It would...

How are you using social media for your wedding? I'm using a facebook page and a few 'secret' Pinterest boards for my bridesmaids, I also know you can have people tag photos with a special hashtag on...

I have a semi-big wedding party (about 16 ppl) and most limos won't fit that many. Usually what will is either a bus or a stretch SUV, which do not look as classy as I'd like. A popular option in the...

I'll be starting the search soon. I've heard horror stories about David's Bridal and mixed reviews of Alfred Angelo. How do boutiques work? What do you suggest?
