Mismatched shoes - Bride and Bridesmaids - ok? Does the bride have to buy shoes before the maids?
Katherine in Wedding Attire, on July 15, 2015 at 2:34 PM

Do the bride's shoes have to coordinate with the bridesmaids? I'm thinking silver sandal-type shoes or wedges for them. I may go with flats. With my dress, I could go with ivory, champagne, or silver....

Katherine in Wedding Attire, on November 9, 2015 at 11:38 AM

I need a hair and makeup artist near our venue in Palos Verdes, willing to travel onsite. I waited too long to book the one I wanted and she booked a trip out of town, but had off-season pricing and...

Katherine in Etiquette and Advice, on December 15, 2015 at 5:32 PM

How long before you wait to contact people for RSVP's? Half of my guest list is awesome, and I can't tell if the other half is just assuming it's obvious that they're coming or they don't find it...

Heel height and wedding dress hemming - front bustle? Pics?
Katherine in Wedding Attire, on December 14, 2015 at 2:09 AM

The title says it all. I have ceremony heels and reception flats, and I don't want to trip on my dress. I've heard some people split the difference, or even remove their under slip (though that would...

Did anyone have FIL or Best Man as Officiant?
Katherine in Planning, on November 18, 2015 at 7:48 PM

We have been between a couple of options. We had originally asked a dear friend of ours who did a beautiful job at our friends' wedding, but he is very wishy-washy in general. He did not answer the...

Is anybody else getting sticker shock from Hair & Makeup?
Katherine in Wedding Attire, on November 10, 2015 at 12:39 PM

I can't believe how expensive hair and makeup services are to be done onsite, even if they are in the same city. So far, I have found ONE vendor that charges $185 for both hair and makeup, but...

Katherine in Wedding Attire, on July 11, 2015 at 12:51 PM

We have been having a difficult time finding dresses that flatter all of the girls. One store we've liked is Alfred Angelo. We've eliminated David's Bridal. I'm thinking that if it's not Alfred...
