In loving memory...
CourtneyBrittain in Planning, on June 4, 2019 at 10:27 PM

My FH and I want to be sure we honor his Grandpa, but we don’t necessarily need a full table and we can’t have candles anywhere in our venue. Does anyone have any ideas? Sadly, I never met his...

Belt Help!
CourtneyBrittain in Wedding Attire, on June 5, 2019 at 3:22 PM

Help! I fell in love with the belt at David’s Bridal but can’t justify spending $100 on it, especially since the dress was under $500! Anyone know where I could find something really...

FH and I are hoping to send out our invitations this weekend or early next week but we are still missing addresses from about 10-15 people, mostly FH’s extended family. We don’t have their phone...

Timeline - Tentative
CourtneyBrittain in Planning, on June 2, 2019 at 6:17 PM

Does this make sense for a timeline? We have the venue 12pm-12am and I made the timeline based off the time we have our photographers (2:30pm-10:30pm) and wanted to know if it made sense/if I am...

Okay so I have a friend who originally wasn’t on the wedding list but she had texted me how excited she was and said she already bought us several gifts off our registry and how she knew she was going...

Keep the dress safe!
CourtneyBrittain in Wedding Attire, on May 29, 2019 at 2:57 PM

So we have horrible storms here at the moment and during our tornado watch my first instinct was to put my dress in our downstairs bathroom aka our tornado shelter. Anyone else do anything “crazy” to...

Rings
CourtneyBrittain in Wedding Attire, on June 1, 2019 at 11:10 PM

We picked up our bands today and both want to wear them now 😂 In all honesty though, is there a huge reason why we shouldn’t wear them yet?

Floral Rant
CourtneyBrittain in Style and Décor, on May 30, 2019 at 2:08 PM

Who knew flowers were so expensive? I went to Market Street to price their flowers and this bouquet pictured is only $35 but if I wanted blush or burgundy roses it jumps up to above $80...

Dress Padding
CourtneyBrittain in Wedding Attire, on May 29, 2019 at 12:07 AM

Okay so I have my dress and I LOVE it. My only minor issue is that I have tiny boobs and unless I stand with amazing posture all night there’s an odd crease in the front of the dress because it’s not...

Invitation Wording
CourtneyBrittain in Etiquette and Advice, on May 22, 2019 at 10:41 PM
