Kari in Wedding Attire, on May 10, 2021 at 2:52 PM

I bought my dress pre-owned, wore it for our elopement, and plan to wear it to our wedding celebration next month. Afterwards, I would like to have it cleaned but I don't want to "preserve" it,...

Kari in Planning, on May 7, 2021 at 6:07 PM

Please check my thinking. Aside from tables to eat/drink at (so high top tables in cocktail area and dinner tables for reception area), what else do I need tables for or are typical at wedding...

Inexpensive bud vases or bud vase alternatives?
Kari in Style and Décor, on April 28, 2021 at 8:41 AM

Our venue is a working farm with very modern/contemporary barn (designed specifically for weddings, it's not very "rustic" at all). The barn is so pretty we are keeping the decor quite simple. We plan...

Wedded Brides: What was your reception dress experience?
Kari in Wedding Attire, on April 29, 2021 at 7:32 PM

I've heavily weighed the pros and cons of a reception dress and am still torn, so I'd really like who hear from those brides who already had their wedding celebration. If you bought a reception dress,...

We eloped on our original date last year because of Covid and are having our wedding celebration this year. The salon I was using kind of screwed me over so I don't want to use them again. I am...

I am fair skinned with light hair and black mascara just looks too harsh on me. I've had such a difficult time finding a brown mascara, and non of them are waterproof/sweatproof. Does anyone have...

Combining insurance and providers
Kari in Married Life, on April 12, 2021 at 1:20 PM

My husband and I each receive health insurance through our jobs (and both of our companies have a penalty policy and won't allow us to combine insurance), but we have the same HSA provider. We have...

Any states updating wedding guidance with vaccination status?
Kari in Planning, on April 5, 2021 at 12:02 PM

The wedding guidance in our state (New Hampshire) has not changed significantly since June of last year. With vaccines rolling out faster every day, I am really hoping to see some new guidance that...

Best mocktails?
Kari in Wedding Reception, on February 28, 2021 at 10:26 AM

Thanks to Covid giving us the big middle finger, our wedding reception (if it ever happens) is very very delayed. We're in our mid-30s so are at the point where we cannot wait longer to start TTC and...

Our wedding was supposed to be in May 2020 but didn't happen because of Covid. We still got married on our original day, and rescheduled our vendors to June 2021. In November were told by our venue...

Kari in Wedding Attire, on January 18, 2020 at 4:41 PM

If you've tried looking at photoshopped colors for bridesmaids dresses on David's Bridals website and then seen the dresses in person you'll know the photoshop color usually isn't that accurate. My...

Thoughts for a wedding redo?
Kari in Planning, on November 22, 2020 at 6:33 PM

We eloped due to Covid. We had to cancel our May 2020 wedding and found out my mom had cancer right before we were supposed to get married, so we decided to do a very small ceremony at the last...

Bridesmaids without bouquets?
Kari in Style and Décor, on November 6, 2020 at 9:58 AM

We originally planned a small (60-80 person) wedding for May 2020 and I was going to have just my best friend as my MOH and no other bridesmaids. Covid forced us to elope instead with just eight...
