I'm considering buying my dress online. I tried on a few dresses at David's Bridal and they told me that I'm between a 10 and a 12. I found this sample dress online that I really like. On the site it...

My dad has Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Lately, his shaking and memory have gotten worse. His hands can not stop shaking and he limps when he walks (he refuses to use a cane). Sometimes he...

I have a few questions regarding flower girls and ring bearers. 1. Who buys the flower girl's basket and ring bearer's pillow? 2. If it's me, where can I buy cute affordable baskets and pillows?...

My fiance and I only want our parents and bridesmaids/groomsmen at our wedding ceremony. After the ceremony we will have a cocktail hour and reception with our family and friends. On my wedding...

My bridal party walked down the aisle to music that the DJ was playing and I walked down the aisle to my niece playing the violin. OMG she sounded terrible! She's been playing the violin for 3 years...

My wedding is this Saturday and my MOH said that she's gonna get her alterations done this week. She told me that she already talked to an alteration place and they'll have it done in one day. I guess...

I'm getting married next Saturday, August 27 (woo-hoo). Some co-workers will ask me, "When's the big day?" I'll tell them and they'll ask " Are you ready to say I do?" I always say yeah, I am. Some...

I need two witnesses and my officiant to sign my marriage license. Do we sign it during the ceremony? If we don't sign it during the ceremony when would be a better time to do so?

My wedding is in 2 weeks and I still haven't received my photo booth layout. I reached out to my vendor today to get an update. She apologized for the delay and then told me she had just had a...

One of my bridesmaids still hasn't purchased her dress yet. She keeps telling me that she's going to do but for one reason or another doesn't get around to doing it. My other bridesmaids purchased...

Just had my bachelorette party- it was my maid of honor, five bridesmaids and a close friend of mine. I plan on giving my MOH and bridesmaids a gift on the day of the wedding. I would like to give my...

So, I'm under the impression that you're supposed to have a few dress fittings before it fits like a glove. I'm picking up my dress today. If something else needs to be altered will they charge me?...

My RSVP deadline is this Friday. I doubt I will receive everyone's response between today and tomorrow. I plan on following up with people next week. If they plan on attending, do I ask them to mail...

Let me start off by saying we are not in debt. FH saved money for nine months to pay his share of the wedding, I used my commission checks from work to pay my share and FH's parents are paying for our...

Curious to find out what your future husbands are doing. I think my FH wants his parents to walk him down the aisle. Does he hold their hands or do they lock arms? What are his other options?

I'm not getting married at a church. I'm getting married at the venue where my reception is taking place at. We have 5 bridesmaids, MOH, 4 groomsmen, 1 flower girl and 1 ring bearer in our bridal...

I'm the kind of person that likes to get things done as soon as possible. My venue requires all vendors to sign a vendor application and provide general liability insurance. I requested this...

I was on ETSY last night and came across wedding program fans. I thought they were cute but after looking at prices, I think I'll make them myself. My ceremony will be outdoor and it will start at...

I got my makeup trial, this past week, and my MUA air brushed my face. I felt like it wasn't enough coverage, so she used mac foundation. I'm familiar with Mac foundation but I don't use it anymore- I...
