Maybe Red, White, and Blue, but NOT 4th of July. HALP!
Karen in Style and Décor, on March 21, 2016 at 11:55 PM

So, the colors that wound up kind of organically springing up for our wedding are navy with splashes of red with ivory / cream. BM dresses are navy and their shoes will be red. Groom's tux is navy, GM...

Toasting Troubles
Karen in Etiquette and Advice, on March 19, 2016 at 7:35 PM

Not sure at ALL what to do about toasts for our wedding. Originally, I had wanted to skip them completely, but my mom asked to, so it looks like we're doing toasts after all. My sister (MOH) also...

What didn't go the way you planned but turned out ok?
Karen in Community Conversations, on March 12, 2016 at 10:44 PM

I had planned on doing invites through vistaprint to keep costs down and have more control over the design, but then I found invites on etsy that FH and I LOVED and so we went with that. A little more...

Clinking Glasses and How To Kill Them?
Karen in Etiquette and Advice, on March 7, 2016 at 1:33 PM

I cannot stand the "tradition" of guests clinking their glass until the newlyweds kiss. It is the worst thing that has ever happened to civilization if you ask me. Any wedding I've ever gone to where...

What are the gifts you're giving to your parents?
Karen in Planning, on March 2, 2016 at 3:38 PM

I'm talking for Mother of the Bride / Mother of the Groom / Father of the Bride / Father of the Groom, and who is giving to who? I was planning on giving a gift to all parents from me (looks like most...

Invitation Pocketfolds or Nah?
Karen in Planning, on March 1, 2016 at 10:37 PM

I'm in the thick of trying to find invitations and I think we're getting close! FH and I love a set we found on etsy, which are actually relatively reasonable, until you get to the pocketfold. It...

Headpiece with Veil
Karen in Wedding Attire, on February 27, 2016 at 2:59 PM

I am absolutely IN LOVE with headpieces and want one very badly for my wedding, but I specifically want one that goes in the back, not really a fan of the headband look. That being said, I already...

Vendors Booked, When to Start with Details?
Karen in Planning, on February 6, 2016 at 8:06 PM

My wedding is 10/15/16. We had a super long engagement (will be 2.5 years by the time we have the wedding) so I have basically all of my vendors, with the exception of MUA booked. I know I'm in a good...

Hotel Room Blocking Woes
Karen in Planning, on January 11, 2016 at 5:24 PM

My wedding is October 15th, 2016 which I was assured would be enough time to book hotel room blocks. I did actually try to get started a few months ago, but was told in some cases that I couldn't...

Acquaintance doing dress alterations, should we invite to the wedding?
Karen in Etiquette and Advice, on December 2, 2015 at 7:12 PM

We recently met someone through a friend of ours who does bridal gown alterations for a living and I would like to have her do my dress. We have only met the one time, but as I'm asking her to work on...
