Gen in Wedding Attire, on June 25, 2018 at 10:13 AM

Does anyone have experience resizing a ring at Jared? I got my engagement ring from them 6 months ago. It was originally a size 7 and they made it to a size 5 when they gave it to me, so I gues it...

Where did you get your dress preserved and how much did you spend?
Gen in Married Life, on November 25, 2019 at 3:18 PM

I was thinking I’d get it done at David’s Bridal but I didn’t realize they don’t actually do it themselves, you have to ship it off to some other company? At this point I’ll probably just take it to...

I'd like to preface by saying of course there's no right/wrong here and everyone is entitled to their own tastes and how they like things done, but I'm just curious how other brides feel about this...

Gen in Married Life, on October 11, 2019 at 12:08 PM

Just curious, how many wedding photos do y’all have framed or otherwise displayed around your house (and which ones? 😄) Or if you’re not married yet, do you have an idea of how many you plan to hang...

Do you wear your veil to the reception?
Gen in Wedding Attire, on October 12, 2018 at 11:33 AM

So obviously if you have a veil you'd wear it during the ceremony and for pictures, but do you keep your veil on during the reception? Does it depend on how long/in the way the veil is? Is it just a...
