BM dress shopping was pain free thanks to my MOH!
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on January 26, 2015 at 11:28 AM

Some of you may remember that 2 of my 4 BM's were throwing a fit about me wanting them to try on a certain dress. When we got to David's Bridal the 2 flat out told me they refused to try it on as they...

DIY overload this weekend. I swear, there is glitter everywhere now...
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on January 26, 2015 at 8:23 AM

The first picture is the canvas guest book, which I think I'll be re-painting. I just didn't get the perspective right on the umbrella, so it's really throwing me off. The second two are the votive...

Of course, FH has now decided he wants to use
JaKLyn in Etiquette and Advice, on December 11, 2014 at 11:17 AM

Mason jars at the wedding. I know it seems to be that you either love them or hate them, but FH has become obsessed with quilted mason jars for some reason. My question is if I paint them like this...

What's everyone getting done wedding wise this weekend?
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on January 23, 2015 at 8:15 AM

*Tomorrow we're going dress shopping for the bridesmaid dresses, and I'm hoping I can find my wedding jewelry while we're out too. *I need to finish painting and glittering our vases and jars and make...

*Spinoff* Let's show off those reception sites
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on January 22, 2015 at 2:56 PM

Our venue is called Aspen Room. We loved how cozy it felt, and that they pretty much let you have free reign with the decor, as long as you don't harm their property. We adore the entry way, and we'll...

*NWR* but I had to share. We added a new furry friend to the family!
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on January 22, 2015 at 11:14 AM

This is Lady! Our daughter is pretty smitten with her already, and she's a much better fit for her than Captain was as far as size. We're still keeping Captain, but more for me to ride. So far MaKyla...

If anyone was looking for a creative way to save your wedding flowers...
JaKLyn in Do It Yourself, on January 22, 2015 at 8:59 AM

Http://www.rosebead.com/beads-from-rose-petals-step-one/ If we were using real flowers I'd so be doing this. It'd be something great to make and give to my daughters or future daughters in law to wear...

In regards to bridesmaid dresses...
JaKLyn in Etiquette and Advice, on January 19, 2015 at 10:55 AM

We're going dress shopping this weekend and there is one long dress that I would like the girls to try on. However 2 of the 4 girls are already complaining that they don't even want to try the dress...

Sometimes I think FH just really likes to test my patience...
JaKLyn in Etiquette and Advice, on January 19, 2015 at 8:24 AM

We went to look at a venue for the ceremony yesterday and we both loved it. It's gorgeous, there are massive bridal and groom suits for us to all get ready in, and there are plenty of great photo ops...

Would you be ok with this as a gift?
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on January 16, 2015 at 8:49 AM

I'm working on getting all of the BM gifts together and was wondering what everyone thought. So far each girl will get a different gold and black makeup bag. Each bag has a wallet sized gold picture...

*Rant* really FMIL, have you forgotten you aren't in high school anymore?
JaKLyn in Etiquette and Advice, on January 15, 2015 at 8:22 AM

So as some may remember my FMIL is out of town on a business trip until late this weekend. So you can imagine that FH and I were completely shocked when she called us around 10:45 last night to ask us...

Grooms cake questions.
JaKLyn in Style and Décor, on January 15, 2015 at 2:57 PM

I've been to weddings before that have had grooms cakes, however they've always been the cut sheet cakes, or a low cake. FH's grooms cake is a 3-D tiered cake that's going to be carved/sculpted. My...

We finally found them!
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on January 14, 2015 at 9:04 AM

We finally found wedding invitations that we both agree on, and they're normally $60 cheaper than the invites we liked on Etsy. We really like that they have a store here in town so if we had...

JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on January 13, 2015 at 8:55 AM

Apparently it was delivered on Saturday and with everything going on with my FMIL, FH completely forgot that he signed for it. He handed it to me while on my way out the door for work this morning....

*Post confrontation update in comments* I feel a bridezilla moment coming on... VENT!
JaKLyn in Etiquette and Advice, on January 8, 2015 at 11:31 AM

So I've said during this entire planning process that if anyone could cause me to have a bridezilla moment it would be my FILs. We asked for a guest list back in May so that we could attempt to figure...

Question over bridal shower favors
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on January 8, 2015 at 2:58 PM

I know that the bridal shower itself is up to my bridesmaids, however should I be the one to provide the favors? My MOH has started asking if I could tell her what month would work best for me and if...

JaKLyn in Wedding Attire, on December 30, 2014 at 3:27 PM

So, it's been a pretty stressful week between FH being in the ER on Christmas and my car refusing to start yesterday. Well I got a call and email today from the corporate office at David's Bridal...

JaKLyn in Etiquette and Advice, on December 29, 2014 at 9:19 AM

So FH and I thought the worst of the long weekend was over after attending a Christmas Eve wedding. Well FH ended up in the hospital around 8:20 pm Christmas day for food poisoning (he isn't the only...

Looking for thoughts/opinions on these
JaKLyn in Do It Yourself, on December 23, 2014 at 2:46 PM

While looking around for wedding invitations that wouldn't break the bank FH came across these. We'll be able to customize the RSVP's to state how many seats we have in their honor, and they can...
