Jaclyn in Etiquette and Advice, on September 7, 2018 at 1:28 PM

I am seeing mixed things on whether or not to tip your seamstress. She works for the bridal boutique where I got my dress from if that makes a difference. I just don’t want to be rude when I see her...

diy Sams club flowers vs Florist
Jaclyn in Do It Yourself, on February 21, 2018 at 12:30 PM

Did you make your own bouquets, boutineers, corsages etc or did you pay a florist to do them? Any pros vs cons? If you did make them yourself, did you wish you paid someone to do them instead?
