Vendor Tipping

Ellen in Planning, on October 3, 2016 at 8:02 AM

You guys, my wedding is in 5 days. Also. I've read a bunch of articles about tipping vendors and I feel like I'm getting conflicting information. Who do I tip, and how much?

Ellen in Planning, on June 22, 2016 at 11:01 AM

Custom Wedding Seating Chart Posters

Ellen in Style and Décor, on April 5, 2016 at 4:23 PM

I need your help before I go crazy googling. FH and I have an idea for a movie-themed seating chart (he's a big film nerd) that would sit framed on an easel. I've found kind of what I have in mind...

Haberman's for Veils

Ellen in Style and Décor, on March 21, 2016 at 10:38 AM

Anyone go to Haberman's in Royal Oak for your veil fabric and then just have it made? Where did you have it made, and how much did this cost? I want a veil, but I'm trying not to spend a ton.

How far out should we book our flight to Lisbon? We know we want Delta, but are hoping for the best price. I want to jump on it now (7 months out), Fiance' wants to wait until June (4 months out)....

Cake Stand

Ellen in Style and Décor, on March 4, 2016 at 12:30 PM

Hey everyone - I'm looking for a gold cake stand as inexpensively as possible. I'm fine with renting one, too, if that's the cheapest way. Ideas? Thanks!

To do/To buy

Ellen in Planning, on November 18, 2015 at 7:50 PM

Hey guys: I want either an app or something on weddingwire, maybe?, where I can have a list of things I need to purchase and check them off. Something less big-picture than the check list feature....

Rental Vases for centerpieces?

Ellen in Style and Décor, on June 8, 2015 at 11:11 AM

Hey guys: I've got an idea for our centerpieces, but it requires a gold vase. My florist has one, but I don't love it. Anyone know where I can get some for cheap? Possibly rent them? Thanks, Ellen ...
