Color scheme
Gen in Style and Décor, on November 21, 2018 at 12:45 PM

So my FH very quickly and decisively settled on Spa from David’s bridal as our main color, with dusty rose and champagne accents. Our wedding is in June and was supposed to be in a bright open...

Men’s Warehouse Calvin Klein or Vera Wang tux?
Gen in Wedding Attire, on November 19, 2018 at 11:35 AM

My FH and I started looking at tuxes for him and his groomsmen this weekend, and are really torn between the Calvin Klein and Vera Wang tuxes at men’s warehouse. They also told us he couldn’t try them...

Videography alternatives
Gen in Wedding Ceremony, on November 12, 2018 at 1:11 PM

For those of you who didn’t have a videographer but wanted some sort of video of your ceremony, what did you find was the best way to get that? We want to have an unplugged ceremony but are...

Sitting with one family and not the other...?
Gen in Wedding Reception, on November 12, 2018 at 2:46 PM

So we were originally going to have a sweetheart table to avoid all this, but (very long story short) we’re actually now having our reception in a different (smaller) room at the venue so now there’s...

199 days! How are other June brides doing?
Gen in Planning, on November 14, 2018 at 8:46 AM

Seeing my countdown below 200 this morning was SURREAL 😍 For those of you who also have about 6 months to go, how is your planning coming along?? I feel like we’re actually mostly done with the big...

How long do people stay after the cake cutting / how long should photographers stay?
Gen in Wedding Reception, on November 14, 2018 at 1:03 PM

So we recently decided to shorten our reception by a bit, we’re going to be doing our grand entrance/first dance at 1:30, then lunch will be served after that. Then at 3:30 the bar closes, we cut the...

How to paint wood signs?
Gen in Style and Décor, on November 13, 2018 at 11:47 AM

Long story short, my FH and I have some spare wood pieces from Home Depot that would be perfect to use for signs (welcome sign, seating chart, etc). I’m wondering what is the best way to paint these?...

Questions to ask venue/catering coordinator
Gen in Planning, on November 9, 2018 at 11:51 AM

We’re finally meeting with her this weekend and want to make sure we ask her everything we could possibly need to know. She’s pretty bad at getting back to us, so this is probably the last chance...

What did you do the day before your wedding?
Gen in Parties and Events, on November 9, 2018 at 10:40 AM

Were you busy doing last minute things, fixing issues that came up, etc. or were you relaxing with your friends and family at this point? Did you have time to relax the day before? How much came up at...

Wine pour with lunch—enough?
Gen in Wedding Reception, on November 8, 2018 at 2:24 PM

(For those of you who saw my last post, I called the coordinator again and she finally answered and we arranged a meeting for this Sunday.) We really need to clarify A LOT with her on Sunday, and I’m...

Coordinator not responding
Gen in Planning, on November 8, 2018 at 12:43 PM

So, every time we speak to someone from our venue we get different answers to the same questions, and it’s getting really frustrating. I emailed the main coordinator on Sunday asking if we could come...

Don’t want to be a bridezilla // rant
Gen in Planning, on November 5, 2018 at 4:11 PM

This weekend I felt like I became removed from my body, and watched myself from afar turn into a huge bridezilla and I did NOT like that. To be fair to myself, it was reasonable that I got upset I...

Hypothetical plus one issue // so much anxiety // why does this happen
Gen in Etiquette and Advice, on November 6, 2018 at 1:09 PM

So this entire thing is very hypothetical and hopefully I am reading too much into it and it will not end up being a problem, but I really feel the need to get this out. My FH has this friend from...

What have you changed your mind about? And why?
Gen in Planning, on October 31, 2018 at 3:08 PM

I felt like making a thread for this because I definitely feel like a HUGE part of wedding planning for me has been making decisions, then realizing that’s not actually what I want, and reversing...

Gen in Wedding Reception, on November 1, 2018 at 10:54 AM

For those of you who have had Polaroid cameras for your guest book and/or to use at your reception, what type of camera have you used? My friend had the Fujifilm Instax at her wedding and it worked...

Gen in Style and Décor, on October 31, 2018 at 11:48 AM

What have you learned from other weddings?
Gen in Planning, on October 28, 2018 at 11:17 AM

This was nothing too terrible, but I was certain I wanted to just assign tables and allow guests to choose their seats within that table. But after attending a wedding with this situation yesterday, I...
