What percentage of all the photos you received back from your photographer are ones that you absolutely love (i.e. album/frame-worthy status)?

I posted here awhile back about being totally disgusted with my wedding day hair, and it ruining a lot of our photos for me. Of course, there's nothing I can do now about how I looked that day, but...

The wedding is over. Everything was perfect, except for my hair. I hate the way it looked so much, that it pains me to look at our photos and video. Day-of hair (a relatively simple down-do) didn't...

We had an amazing wedding - perfect weather, all our loved ones there, beautiful venue, the whole day ran smoothly. I know I got off quite easy, but there were still one or two relatively small...

My wedding is on Saturday. I had my final dress fitting at the end of May. Tried on the dress this past weekend, and it was too loose! I had to high-tail it to a tailor yesterday for super last-minute...

I'm wearing a veil with a blusher, just because I like the look. I was planning to have my dad lift it at the end of the aisle. However, I just saw pictures of a Facebook friend's wedding over the...

We are having a string quartet play for our ceremony. The song I am planning to walk down to takes some time to build, so I didn't want to come in until about 1:20 in. My plan was to have the...

Our wedding is

For those of you who did not do a first look, how much total time did you spend taking photos with your partner after the ceremony - did you feel like you would have preferred more/less time than you...

Anyone struggling with writing their own vows? I've been with my FH for 13 years, and I feel like that's making it even harder! (So hard to distill it all down to a few short paragraphs!) I'm working...

We will have a few babies under one year at our wedding. We've been planning on 8 seats per table, and I'd like to avoid any more place settings than this at one table to prevent crowding. It looks...

My trials are tomorrow. I've paid a 50% deposit for all services booked (including the trials), and will pay the remainder (plus tip) on the wedding day. Do I bring a tip for just the cost of the...

Arg. After sending out my invitations this morning, I noticed a funky, front-and-center grammatical error. For some reason, I hyphenated "two o'clock" (two-o'clock). Definitely not the worst error,...

I always see photos of wedding cakes displayed on a table with other types of desserts, which is that we will probably end up doing. But I'm wondering, how does the cake then get served? I would...

We are having a string quartet for our ceremony and cocktail hour. I've discussed with them the songs we want played for the processional/recessional. If anyone had/will have live musicians for their...

We're planning to do gourmet donuts as our main dessert; however, I still really want to do a cake cutting (and have cake for guests who might prefer it). The cake would be our favorite from a local...

Our wedding will take place in the afternoon/early evening and end shortly after dinner/sundown, so we are hoping to host some sort of after party with drinks and maybe some low-key dancing (since we...

How long did posed family photos end up taking overall at your wedding? Around how many groupings did you do?

I am trying to decide on a 2:00 or 2:30 start time for my invitations. Ceremony will be no more than 25 minutes. Having the extra buffer time for pre-ceremony photos and starting the ceremony exactly...

We were planning on creating a single, very small registry with a some upgraded (mostly kitchen) items. I had started setting this up using Zola, but was wondering if Amazon might be a better choice...
