Colleen in Etiquette and Advice, on May 5, 2016 at 9:22 AM

Has anyone used a designated driver service for guests? We were considering doing a limo or shuttle van, at least for guests staying at hotel, but unsure of numbers. So I'm thinking a designated...

2 Piece birdcage veil?
Colleen in Wedding Attire, on April 1, 2016 at 9:35 AM

Single Bridesmaid dress
Colleen in Wedding Attire, on March 15, 2016 at 11:12 AM

I am just having my sister in my wedding party, partly because it is just cheaper and easier to have just one person...or so I thought. I asked her to just wear a purple dress. Whatever shade and...
