Is your last dance song going to be fast or slow? Will it be just you and your spouse or will you invite everyone to join in?

Good morning everyone! I'm looking at gift registries today. I already know we are doing a honeyfund and a small Belk registry (because we've been living together for 4 years, so we don't need much,...

Are any of you planning to do (or have seen/done) BM clutches instead of BM bouquets? Did it look too informal? Any negative feedback about them? My BMs will be in black dresses. Originally, I was...

There are so many versions of this song! I'm considering it for our 1st dance. What is your favorite version?

I hadn't planned to do one, but now you all have me thinking. Here is my situation, tell me if a receiving line would even work and when and where to do it. The ceremony is at 6 p.m. at FH's family...

Looking for a cute, short message/quote. Last Christmas Eve (which turned out to be the day FH proposed) I gave FH a pair of really nice engraved cufflinks. The cufflinks have a "secret agent" bottom...

Hi Everyone! For those of your who are keeping your own last name (or if you are changing in a way that is not taking FH's last name as yours) how do you plan to let others know your name situation?...

Our Christmas present to each other was paying for the honeymoon. We're doing a 7-day Western Caribbean cruise with stops in Cozumel, Costa Maya, Belize City and Mahogany Bay. I've been on one 4-day...

Looking for some advice on how to handle this situation. My parent's church (and the church I grew up in, though I no longer attend) has a "Shower Committee." The ladies on the committee approached my...

Hi Everyone! My reception will be Old Hollywood themed (I know some of your are anti-theme, but I LOVE themed parties and everyone who knows me is expecting something like this from me). My colors are...

I'm sending postcard STDs. There isn't really room for a return address. Do you all think it's ok not to include one? Did any of your do postcard STDs? Did you have return address labels or not?

My wedding is 9/20/14. I had planned to send STDs, at the earliest, by the end of March (6-7 months before the wedding). However, I was just at a friend's house for lunch and she had six STDS on her...

Don't forget to ask your venue if they plan on doing any construction/upgrades/policy changes between booking and your event. I just learned the hard way that I should have asked that! Went to visit...

I took one of the other WW Bride's advice and put an ad. on craigslist to find a photographer. Lots of bad ones, but finally one contacted me that I liked. His normal packages were waaaaay out of my...

I wanted to rent a small set of lounge furniture for my reception. I found a local place that has a modular set (6 middle pieces and 4 corner pieces). They advertised to set on their website as...

Hi Ladies, I've seen your magic before, so I'm hoping to get some help in finding a BM dress. We have found a dress (linked here) that FINALLY all my BMs like. My only problem with it is that the...

I am feeling a little uneasy because I haven't booked a photographer yet (It's the last big vendor I need to book!) I naively set my photography budget at $650 not realizing how expensive it...

What is yours? Especially those of you who are having a soloist and/or a reading! I'm having both and not quite sure where I want to work them in.

Flowers are low on my wedding priority list and I personally think corsages look silly. Not to mention most florists are pricing them at $20-25 per person! My mom doesn't want a corsage (but...
