Meh- normal?
Kirsten in Planning, on September 29, 2020 at 2:28 PM

I'm wondering if what I'm feeling is normal. We're eloping in a couple of weeks and planning a reception that's only 3.5 weeks away. We've been together for 7.5 years and planning this wedding for...

Mua- no connection
Kirsten in Hair and Makeup, on August 25, 2020 at 3:51 PM

(Sorry... don't know why it turns the picture sideways. ) I did my first trial with an artist. Cons: I didn't feel any connection with her, felt like I was just another appointment (like she didn't...

Tipping Baker?
Kirsten in Etiquette and Advice, on August 19, 2020 at 9:53 PM

We are DIY most of our wedding, but I'm buying a small wedding cake (6", single layer) to go on the dessert table. The baker's delivery fee was almost as much as the cake, so I'm picking it up. Should...

Progress!
Kirsten in Fitness and Health, on May 24, 2020 at 10:56 PM

I have to share in my amazement and excitement! So... I have fat arms. I know every girl says that, but seriously. They're huge (started at 19 inches diameter each). 3 weeks ago my FH and I started a...

Invitations done!
Kirsten in Do It Yourself, on July 5, 2020 at 8:32 PM

I learned how to do hand lettering so I could address my invitations. Thank goodness there aren't many of them because it's a lot of work! But I'm happy with how they turned out (and glad I bought...

My dress is finally done!
Kirsten in Wedding Attire, on June 27, 2020 at 7:09 PM

I don't have any girlfriends to share this with and my mom isn't excited from long distance, so I wanted to show you! When I bought my dress over a year ago it wasn't finished, but then we kept making...

Kirsten in Hair and Makeup, on May 15, 2020 at 4:00 PM

Hey all, I need some advice: I have scheduled my wedding day hair (and trial) with the same girl who cuts my hair. She doesn't do makeup so I scheduled that with another girl in the same salon. Well,...

Planning win! In these mad times...
Kirsten in Do It Yourself, on April 3, 2020 at 7:10 PM

This feels dumb to be so excited about, but I wanted to share. I'm doing DIY for so much of our micro wedding (20-25 guests), but finally decided that I would leave the cake up to the pro and support...

Won my venue!!
Kirsten in Planning, on February 1, 2020 at 6:41 PM

OhmygawdOhmygawdOhmygawd! I won our venue today! We are having a very small reception and my FH is super picky about what he wants. A friend invited me to a bridal show about 3 weeks ago and there was...

Showing mom the dress
Kirsten in Wedding Attire, on October 19, 2019 at 4:24 PM

I just have to say I'm really excited!! My mom lives 1400 miles away and so wasn't there when I found my dress. But she's coming to visit in one week and we're going to the bridal salon so I can try...

Bouquet- none, one, or two?
Kirsten in Style and Décor, on August 4, 2019 at 2:25 PM

My FH and I are having an elopement with a reception a day or two later. I'm DIYing my reception flowers, but I'm trying to figure out... since our family and friends won't see my bouquet, should I...

Etsy invite
Kirsten in Do It Yourself, on July 3, 2019 at 10:29 PM

I bought our invite on Etsy. For those that have done this, how did you print them? At home, or did you take it to a printer? I'm wondering if I should use a local printing company or something like...

How did you all find your HMUA? Just Google near me, or do you go by personal recommendations? Or WW search?

Elopement...sort of
Kirsten in Etiquette and Advice, on August 19, 2017 at 10:58 PM

We want to elope, and I want a small reception after but on the same day. Only our closest 20 friends and family. 1. How do we explain that on an invitation? 2. I don't want to invite my brother and...
