I don't have any family in my state, and my BMs are also all scattered. It looks like I'll have to go dress shopping alone. My mom can't take the time to fly up right now. I absolutely hate shopping...

I have heard stories of people being so wrapped up in greeting and chatting with guests that they barely got to dance at their own reception. How much did you get to dance? Any tips for making sure...

Using department store MUA for E-Pics?
CoffeeNColor in Wedding Attire, on August 24, 2016 at 9:33 AM

I saw a suggestion on here a while back to get makeup done at the makeup counter. I have a bunch of products I've run low on, so I will be restocking on those when I go. Do I tell the MUA specifically...

What is a good way to find up and coming vendors? Is this a good strategy to save some money, or is the savings not worth it? We don't mind giving someone a chance and allowing them to build their...

CoffeeNColor in Etiquette and Advice, on August 11, 2016 at 2:27 AM

I will be using aliases for clarity. FH has a friend "Fred" who is getting married in 2 wks. Fred got engaged in Feb, so it's a short engagement. GM "Greg" organized a bachelor party trip to Vegas...

Rant: Etsy makes me want to pull my hair out!
CoffeeNColor in Style and Décor, on June 27, 2016 at 2:08 AM

There seems to be no logical way to search. And I hate that I can't efficiently tell how much something will cost because the prices shown are samples or someone else's custom order. I've always...
