Elyse in Etiquette and Advice, on January 20, 2016 at 1:32 PM

I just got an email from my videographer that my wedding video is ready. My package included a full length video and a highlight video. I still have a balance that has to be paid to release both...

Elyse in Community Conversations, on December 1, 2015 at 10:30 PM

I was going to fill this with advice and whatnot, but I changed my mind since I just give advice when people ask on their own thread. So here's just a ton of pics... Oh and don't judge the photo...

Venting about a crappy thing that happened at my forever-ago wedding
Elyse in Etiquette and Advice, on November 10, 2015 at 12:14 PM

I didn’t post about this in my BAM and I was going to post details when I got my pro pics but this is kind of negative (and long!) and I don’t want a BAM to be that way. I’ve made a few semi-vague...

BAH - Excellence Playa Mujeres
Elyse in Honeymoon, on October 2, 2015 at 8:20 AM

We left the Monday after our Saturday wedding. There were no direct flights out of Philly, so we flew out of Baltimore and had to leave our place by like 4 AM. I didn’t sleep at all that night. I...

BAM! I'm a Wife!
Elyse in Community Conversations, on September 21, 2015 at 4:18 AM

I'm going to make this a short and sweet because I stole my husband's (ahhh!) phone and downloaded WW so I could mobile post on the way to the airport. My pro pic post will have the details but the...

Anyone do their own calligraphy?
Elyse in Do It Yourself, on September 11, 2015 at 10:39 AM

Just wondering if anyone wants to share some tutorials (or supplies) they found helpful for DIY calligraphy. I'm handwriting our escort cards and some reserved seating for VIP guests, so I thought it...

What did you get done this weekend?
Elyse in Do It Yourself, on September 14, 2015 at 10:19 AM

I think this has been by far my most productive weekend (kinda had to be haha). I did so much including finishing my card box, writing up escort cards, gift shopping, and getting thinks packed up for...

Of Course Things Were Going Too Smoothly...
Elyse in Wedding Attire, on September 16, 2015 at 10:38 PM

Just got the call that the MU artist cancelled due to a death in the family. I had a team of 4 people. 1 person dedicated to my hair and MU, then 2 hair people and 1 MUA. I'm trying to stay positive...

Question for those that are doing/have done a first look
Elyse in Wedding Attire, on September 14, 2015 at 2:28 PM

We are doing a first look and all pictures before the ceremony. I wasn't planning on wearing my veil, but I think I am going to because I like that it gives my shoulders some coverage in my strapless...

Quick Program Question
Elyse in Planning, on September 5, 2015 at 11:30 AM

FH is at work and I can't get his opinion at the moment so I'm relying on you ladies. For the listing of your BP did you use their full names or abbreviated names? For example, my MOH, Cassie, her...

Linen Quote: I just Died
Elyse in Style and Décor, on August 14, 2015 at 3:37 PM

I've been trying to find navy and white striped table runners and it's not going so well. I missed out on some from a resale group and all the ones I find have too skinny of a stripe. My planner sent...

Elyse in Wedding Attire, on August 24, 2015 at 9:49 AM

Whew, I think I'm finally caught up from an exhausting Saturday! I started out the day with a little mani/pedi pampering and used it at an opportunity to do a trial run on my wedding look. I love it,...

Google is failing me: getting ready shirt *Update!
Elyse in Wedding Attire, on August 20, 2015 at 11:30 AM

I'm obsessed with this shirt I found on Etsy, but I reached out to the seller and it doesn't come in plus size. It apparently runs small too, so I don't want to risk it because I want it loose and...

Custom Hockey Cake Topper Has Arrived!
Elyse in Community Conversations, on August 19, 2015 at 10:19 AM

Our cake topper finally came yesterday! I would have been ok with them subtracting some of my chins but whatever, I do still love it! Poor Bru got left out of the box, so he's shipping later, but his...

Should I still have a rehearsal dinner?
Elyse in Etiquette and Advice, on August 16, 2015 at 10:34 PM

We aren't doing an official rehearsal at our venue, but we always planned to have a "thank you" BBQ for our BP and go over some of the events and order and whatnot. I chose to have it on the Thursday...

Poll: Parents at the bach. parties - yay or nay?
Elyse in Community Conversations, on August 2, 2015 at 9:33 PM

I vote nay. FH and I feel SO differently about this. He believes his dad and my dad should be at his and my mom and his mom should be at mine. Of course his parents feel the same as he does and are so...
