I am so happy right now, I'm almost in tears. Our budget is really small, and I figured out pretty early on that we weren't going to be able to afford a photographer. I was disappointed, but resigned...
I'm currently in grad school, and I've worked very hard to have an A in my current class. I've only been engaged for 2 weeks, and the wedding is in July, so I've been going nuts trying to get things...
After we're married, I want to walk back down the aisle to "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves, but I want it to start at the second verse. Anyone know how to do that? Thanks!
You might remember my FH deciding he wanted chocolate cupcakes instead of wedding cake, so I had to start from scratch. Here's what we decided. The top tier will look like this cake. I made the bow...
My mom came over today, and we made all my centerpieces, the two arrangements that will go on the fireplace for the ceremony, and I re-worked my other arrangement for the welcome table. They all light...
Some of you may remember I've struggled with whether or not I would walk down the aisle by myself or what. My dad passed in 2004 when his plane disappeared in Alaska, and it's incredibly difficult to...
So, I had checked dates with my venue. They said the 16th at 11am was fine. I gave her my credit card and she was working up the contract. Then I got an email that 11 wasn't going to work after all....
This is an arrangement that goes on the welcome table. I'm so excited about it!!
Is there any way to specify that you'd rather people not bring gifts, or is that rude? I know that a lot of people are hurting right now, and we really don't want anyone to feel obligated.
So today was my fitting. I need to lose 10 lbs. The privacy panel in the back almost doesn't cover. Oops. I still love my dress, and she's making cap sleeves for it as well! I'm super excited!! I also...
So we've been engaged less than 24 hours. John told me he didn't want anything to do with the planning- he really didn't care what we did, as long as I was happy, etc. So today we drove by the venue...
Has anyone made or decorated a cupcake tree? I'd love to see them, or see your cupcake displays!! I do want a small tier cake at the top of mine too.
We were supposed to go flying this morning, but the weather didn't cooperate. So we ended up running a bunch of errands. Right after lunch, he says, "So we have one more stop to make before we go...
I'm working on a marketing plan for grad school, and I need some feedback from people who shop at Whole Foods. I need to do a marketing plan for a sustainable or "green" product or service that could...
I had an absolutely horrible day yesterday dealing with my ex and my middle son who's living with him. (And these board were too drama-filled for me to use them as a diversion like I usually do). I...
She was in the mood for a road trip, and one of my possible venues was having an open house, so we drove the 2 1/2 hours to Reno to take a look. We saw some awful places, ate some awful food at one of...
I know it can vary quite a bit depending on location, but I'm curious what I should expect to pay for a boudoir session? I've done some looking around online to try to find someone whose style I like,...
And not in a good way. Between my mom and my FH, nobody likes anything, and all they can do is pick everything to pieces. I think I'm already ready to hop in our plane and fly to Monterey and not let...
Has anyone been successful in negotiating the price of a venue down? I have 2 places that are great, and I can't negotiate until we have a date, but I'm wondering if either of these is going to be an...
I ordered from Alfred Angelo 3 WEEKS ago and was told it should be here in July. I got the call today that it's already here!! I'm going for a fitting in 2 weeks to meet with the seamstress about...
