KDS in Planning, on March 6, 2016 at 9:41 PM

We're getting married in my hometown, which is in a different state than where we currently live. We have to be in town 3 days prior to our wedding date to get our marriage license. Plus, several...

Do I pay for FH's wedding band?
KDS in Planning, on March 4, 2016 at 7:48 PM

FH obviously bought my engagement ring, but who buys the wedding band? Do I buy his and he buys mine? Or do we just split them?

Power Planning
KDS in Wedding Attire, on February 29, 2016 at 8:59 PM

I am getting married in my hometown (12 hours away), so it's been pretty difficult to plan from afar. FH and I flew in over the weekend to get sh*t done. It was crazy busy, but very productive. We...

Did you try more than one style at your hair trial?
KDS in Wedding Attire, on February 21, 2016 at 6:29 PM

I have my hair and make up trial next week and don't really know what to expect. I have pinned a few hairstyles that I like on Pinterest, but I'm not sure if they will work with my hair or facial...

Including introverted siblings
KDS in Planning, on February 21, 2016 at 3:13 PM

FH has two sisters and I have one brother, all of whom are very introverted and detest public speaking/attention. We would like to include them somehow in our ceremony or reception, but they are not...

Marine or Deep Purple with a Gold Dress
KDS in Wedding Attire, on February 6, 2016 at 6:31 PM

I can’t decide between marine (navy) or lapis (dark purple) for my bridesmaid dresses. I'm going with Davids Bridal because all of my BM live in different states and are on budgets. My dress has a lot...

Chunky Heels or Sandals
KDS in Wedding Attire, on February 6, 2016 at 7:58 PM

I'm looking for a fun pair of chunky heels or sandals. I want a 2-3" block heel since our ceremony will be on grass. I'm not a big fan of wedges because I find the heel too narrow. I don't love heels,...

Casual Groomsmen Attire (no suits)
KDS in Wedding Attire, on January 30, 2016 at 8:20 PM

FH doesn't want to ask his groomsmen to get suits because most of them are spending a lot of money to come to the wedding. I'm fine with that because we are also having an outdoor ceremony in July. It...

NWR Macy's sales are deceiving!
KDS in Community Conversations, on January 18, 2016 at 9:21 PM

Has anyone noticed that Macy's just jacks up the original price of an item before they put it on sale? I was looking at duvets and comforters last night at Macy's because they are having a 60% off...

KDS in Style and Décor, on January 6, 2016 at 8:11 PM

My wedding colors keep evolving and I have most recently fallen in love with warm jewel tones. My dress has gold undertones and I have narrowed down the bridesmaid dresses to either David's Bridal...

NWR Holiday Gift Rant
KDS in Etiquette and Advice, on November 30, 2015 at 10:01 PM

I'm sure other people have this problem as well. My parents are upper middle class and definitely live a comfortable lifestyle. They typically take 1 or 2 trips to Mexico every year and then a month...

Show me your casual dinnerware
KDS in Planning, on November 18, 2015 at 7:43 PM

We currently have a variety of plates/bowls/mugs from the thrift store and garage sales. They are actually decent quality, but don't match at all. I have finally convinced DH that we should register...

ISO Modern wedding Invite with no flowers or cursive
KDS in Style and Décor, on November 9, 2015 at 10:14 AM

FH is super picky and doesn't want flowers or cursive on the invite. This eliminates a lot of options. I want something with color and some flair. I plan to either purchase a template on Etsy and...

KDS in Etiquette and Advice, on October 28, 2015 at 9:15 AM

I would love to register for some fun pieces of art or home decor. Have any of you registered with Etsy? If so, please share your experiences. One of my fears about registering for art, is that people...

Is it tacky to print on both sides of the invitation?
KDS in Etiquette and Advice, on October 26, 2015 at 9:56 PM

I'll start off by saying that invitations are not super important to me. I plan on picking out a printable template from Etsy and having the invites printed from VistaPrint, CatPrint or Zazzle. No...
