Married Ladies: I'm looking for some inspiration and would love to see photos of you and your mom at your wedding. I'm so excited about playing dress up with my mom, and would love to see more "real...

My wedding dress is all lace, and when I bought it it had a small jeweled belt on it that would constantly catch on the delicate lace fabric. I've removed the belt (I liked the dress better without it...

When I purchased my dress a few months ago my measurements were 35-29-39 and I've since lost about 8 pounds and 2 inches on my waist and hips (current measurements 35-27-37). My wedding is about 5 1/2...

Any good ideas on how to capture decent quality video clips of special moments at our wedding (reading of vows, speeches) without hiring a videographer? I don't think I've ever met a single couple who...

I don't have any piercings, and when I was looking at bridal jewelry I found some really pretty clip-on earrings and was considering them for my big day to complete my look. I've never had my ears...

My best friend will be my MOH and I have no other bridesmaids, and because my bridal party is so small it is likely that I/we will have to go to the salon (instead of having a stylist come to me) to...

I'm a pretty easy going, low maintenance person who doesn't typically wear makeup or style my hair on a daily basis, but I do like getting dressed up and doing my own hair and makeup for events. I'm...
