So I am doing my own makeup (for various reasons, a makeup artist is not an option), and I'm pretty happy with my practice runs so far. I'm not doing any crazy contouring, but I do need a bronzer to...

I am putting together our wedding album, and I need advice on which photo book printer to use. I'm compiling photos done by a couple different photographers (long story), which is why I'm doing the...

So I just found out I need glasses... which is fine. Glasses today are a lot cooler than the late 90s when I was growing up. But I have crap vision insurance that doesn't offer much coverage for...

We never registered for dishware or silverware for our wedding, because we couldn't get our act together to choose sets. We just did a small registry kn Amazon. But now... I'm sick of our mis-matched...

I don't post here terribly often, but I am just sad and needing to share. My mom and dad are divorcing after 30 years of marriage. They haven't been very happy with each other for ages (since they got...

I just have to brag on my stepmom for creating this amazing bouquet. It is everything I wanted.

I am inviting a couple who are engaged, not married, along with the woman's 17-year-old son of the same household. Do I need to write their names on three lines? i.e. Ms. Jane Smith Mr. John Brown Ian...

My stepmom uses both her maiden and married name professionally (Susan Smith Brown, for example), but uses her married name (my father's name) socially because she lives in the South and it's easier....

I need advice! The main part of our cake will be chocolate (FH and I both adore chocolate) and we’ve been trying to decide on the other layer. The vanilla, strawberry and lemon options were not...

I need ideas! What are you all going to give your mothers (or other female loved ones) for Mother's Day? Part of me feels like I should get her something really special this year in the lead-up to my...

I'm currently trying to decide whether to walk down the aisle by myself or with both my biological dad and my stepdad, who raised me since age 6. I'm close to both of them. This sounds silly and vain,...

I really thought we would avoid most of the traditional family pressures, because FH and I have the reputation of being independent black sheep with strange style. I thought everyone would just be...

I'm booking my venue, which is a fairly raw sculpture garden/art gallery. It doesn't include tables, chairs, linens, catering, DOC, security, kitchen, bridal prep area or decorations. The contract...

I'm in the early stages of selecting a venue on a tiny budget, and am looking at parks and community gardens. But I've realized that the cost of tables and chairs, with delivery and pickup, plus...

Does anyone have experience commissioning a custom wedding dress? Not doing it yourself, or having a friend or relative do it, but working with a dressmaker? How was your experience, and how much did...

Hi all, I've been lurking a while and thought I'd finally introduce myself. My mister and I have been together 3 years and moved cities twice in that time. He popped the question at the beginning of...
