My MOH threw the best bachelorette party last night. So much so that I only have 2 pictures. We went bar hopping in my hometown, my friends from where I live now (200 miles away) came in town, as well...

Colleen in Wedding Attire, on August 16, 2017 at 2:32 PM

What did you get your flower girls and ring bearers? The flower girl will be turning 4 and the ring bearer is 5. I was thinking cups of some sort with their names, I don't want to do clothing because...

Super corny.. But 5 stars
Colleen in Wedding Attire, on August 15, 2017 at 8:49 PM

The forums have been my addiction for the past few months. And with 2.5 weeks off work, I teach all year round, most of my downtime has been spent here. Finally 5 stars!

Macy's Registry
Colleen in Planning, on August 10, 2017 at 10:26 AM

FH and I registered at BBB and Macy's. We went to BBB first since the store near us is much nicer than the one by my parents. They had everything we wanted to add, but sometimes they only had one of...

Online RSVP
Colleen in Wedding Attire, on August 9, 2017 at 10:43 AM

I feel so stupid. I set up online RSVP for my guests for them to RSVP, it saved us money on postage. For the older generations I also put my cell number on the card. Before doing online only, I...

When did you get your rings saudered?
Colleen in Wedding Attire, on August 4, 2017 at 7:42 AM

The jewelers said I should get my rings saudered before the wedding since it will hurt my engagement ring if they are not. I'm fine with this but then I was like there won't be any pictures of the...

Anyone overwhelmed?
Colleen in Wedding Attire, on July 27, 2017 at 7:09 PM

As I'm sitting here thinking about what I should be doing for the wedding, it's just not fun anymore. I'm 200 miles from my family and where the wedding is. FH and I have been talking about moving...

White pumpkin stenciling?
Colleen in Do It Yourself, on July 26, 2017 at 7:54 PM

Bridal undergarments
Colleen in Wedding Attire, on July 20, 2017 at 9:11 PM

So I set out to the mall with a lot of to-dos. 1. Bra for dress. 2. Shoes. 3. Jewelry. I bought my dress in my hometown, 200 miles from where I live. They suggested sewn in cups since the back is...

Bachelorette party
Colleen in Wedding Attire, on July 19, 2017 at 3:32 PM

So my MOH just sent out the bachelorette invites. She reserved an executive suite where everyone will meet, eat appetizers, and I will be opening presents. I'm so nervous about the presents. Unless...

Hair clips
Colleen in Wedding Attire, on July 18, 2017 at 10:21 AM

Where did you get your hair clips or head pieces? I love one at the place where I bought my dress but I can't spend $200 on it. My mom is making my veil and now I need a headpiece/clip for the...

It's real.. It just hit
Colleen in Wedding Attire, on July 11, 2017 at 9:25 PM

I just got off the phone with my mom and she was concerned about the wedding registry at Macy's. I did not like registering there and I wish I wouldn't have, I ended up adding much more at BBB. My mom...

KWR- Skincare
Colleen in Wedding Attire, on July 8, 2017 at 8:57 PM

Does anyone know of a place where you can go and do a "consultation" type thing to have them recommend a skincare routine. I use Bare Minerals and it significantly helped my skin after I found out...

Garter and bouquet
Colleen in Wedding Attire, on July 2, 2017 at 9:05 PM

Is it odd to do a bouquet toss and not a garter toss? FH wants to do a garter toss. I'm a not more conservative than that. My mom said no one will think anything him getting the garter. But someone...
