Crystal in Etiquette and Advice, on May 11, 2015 at 1:09 PM

I'm hoping someone here knows if I'm supposed to word a thank you note a certain way for a traditional Chinese red envelope gift? We're not Chinese, but my friend and her husband are - and their card...

Feature nail - yay or nay?
Crystal in Wedding Attire, on April 22, 2015 at 4:48 PM

I'm looking to get my nails done... I want a french tip with a little bit of design for fun (subtle design). I found a lady that will do it, the pricing she gave me was for a full set of sculpted...

DIY this weekend
Crystal in Do It Yourself, on April 5, 2015 at 9:53 PM

What (if anything) did you accomplish this weekend, wedding-wise? DIY or otherwise! I finally blocked some shawlettes (think small shawl) for the bridesmaids (picture isn't great), and etched (very...

Belt.. slight DIY
Crystal in Wedding Attire, on April 1, 2015 at 4:26 PM

Is there any reason I shouldn't buy this rhinestone trim and turn it into a belt? I'll either sew it onto a ribbon/sash, or see if I can just shorten it, and add snaps or something. The beads and...

Crystal in Wedding Attire, on March 6, 2015 at 3:52 PM

I'm paying for my BM, flower girl and our moms to have hair and makeup done. Not included in the makeup portion is a lip gloss/lip stick for touch ups later. The makeup artist recommended the girls...

Crystal in Wedding Attire, on February 1, 2015 at 1:20 AM

I currently have a hair and makeup trial scheduled for next Sunday, 9 am. The only appointments for trials are on Sundays. I participate in a contact sport on Sundays. Normally we start at 6 pm, but...

Flower girl and ring bearer keeping $ spent equal?
Crystal in Etiquette and Advice, on January 23, 2015 at 1:12 PM

Our flower girl and ring bearers (they're twin boys, can't have just one!) are from the same family. We want to make sure we're striving for equality between them all money-wise. They're all getting...

NWR - 30th bday...
Crystal in Community Conversations, on January 15, 2015 at 12:02 PM

So I'm turning 30 in a few weeks. Fiance keeps asking if I want a party (I typically try and avoid my birthday as much as possible). I really suck at throwing birthday parties, I never know what to do...

Getting ready outfits
Crystal in Wedding Attire, on December 29, 2014 at 11:14 PM

So, a little while ago I started thinking it would be super cute for me and the girls to get ready in matching robes. Y'know because I see so many other brides doing it and it looks awesome! My fiance...

Crystal in Honeymoon, on November 22, 2014 at 1:40 PM

FH and I are having a really tough time deciding where to go for our honeymoon. We have so many ideas, but of course not enough time/money. We also have slightly different visions of what we want out...

Ring opinion
Crystal in Wedding Attire, on November 22, 2014 at 2:39 PM

I'm starting to push my FH to look at wedding bands so we can get them purchased and done (he wants a tungsten ring, so it's special order..). I started thinking about my own wedding band. The e-ring...

Found my dress!
Crystal in Wedding Attire, on June 30, 2014 at 9:11 PM

After looking at a Maggie Sottero at a consignment shop and liking it, I went out to the other shops around to see if anything could top it (I didn't think it could happen!). I found my dress! First...

My bouquet lady is MIA...
Crystal in Style and Décor, on November 5, 2014 at 2:35 PM

We found a local lady to make our bouquets and boutonnieres, she seemed pretty nice the first time we met. She sells wire jewellery at a local year round farmers market. She seemed super excited about...

I'm down a BM
Crystal in Etiquette and Advice, on October 19, 2014 at 1:55 PM

And I'm not replacing her. Backstory: The BMs and I went to look at dresses for them. We found dresses - hooray! Just before we get the consultant over to measure the girls, my friend tells me she's...

Entrance song?
Crystal in Planning, on September 13, 2014 at 4:31 PM

So, we're getting married in a star theatre at our local science centre (think circular room with a dome ceiling that stars and light shows are projected on to, we're having stars)... I'm slowly...

Groomsmen gifts..
Crystal in Planning, on September 11, 2014 at 5:37 PM

I know this should be fiance's thing, but I think he needs help thinking of fun gifts for his guys (plus he's started writing his thesis, so not a lot of free time). What is your man giving his men?...

E-pics!
Crystal in Community Conversations, on September 6, 2014 at 12:42 PM

They're in! We get access to a web gallery, so these are just proofs for now (we get a keepsake book and 8x10 in our package, plus we can order more if we like). So excited!

So many BM ideas...
Crystal in Do It Yourself, on August 30, 2014 at 1:33 PM

Clearly I have too much time on my hands... The other day I was thinking about making necklaces for my girls (and I may still do that, I have to think a little more on how their necklines will work...

What do you think of this necklace idea? Potential DIY..
Crystal in Wedding Attire, on August 24, 2014 at 4:54 PM

I've been looking on Etsy for a necklace for my BMs. I love these mobius ones I've come across (wedding is lightly math/physics themed). I have some jewellery making supplies kicking around, so I...
