I was hanging out with some friends Saturday night and one said "you know what you should have at your wedding? A donut wall!" I didn't know what it was do I did a quick Pinterest search and it's...

Wine brands?
Kristen in Do It Yourself, on June 9, 2017 at 12:24 PM

This may be a dumb question but here goes.... My venue isn't allowed to provide alcohol; they only have the license to serve it, which means I have to bring in my own. Hey, it saves me money! We're...

Kristen in Planning, on May 3, 2016 at 10:55 PM

By the time my fiancé and I get married, we will have been engaged for exactly a year and a half. I wanted to have a longer engagement to give myself more time to plan; I'm trying to finish school...

The One With the BAM... Pic Heavy
Kristen in Married Life, on November 6, 2017 at 12:24 PM

Our day was absolutely perfect, even though several things went wrong. There was a huge snow storm that we had no idea was coming, so our minister couldn’t come perform the ceremony and we couldn’t...

Kristen in Planning, on October 3, 2017 at 5:50 PM

Three days to go... ah! My emotions are everywhere. I'm having some differences in opinion with some family, and it really isn't helping the with my stress. Long story short, my mother passed away two...

We are (finally) taking care of some details for the wedding, and this particular detail is our dessert. We will be having the traditional tiered wedding cake, and we want to add pie to the menu (it's...

RSVP Warning- don't over invite!
Kristen in Planning, on August 24, 2017 at 1:08 PM

RSVPs are rolling in (yay!) and I'm getting so excited. However, I'm receiving wayyy more yeses than I expected, from one particular "group." My aunt (mom's sister) asked me several months ago about...

Groomsmen gifts
Kristen in Do It Yourself, on August 21, 2017 at 11:35 PM

I know this has been posted before, but I'm on mobile and can't search. FH is really struggling with ideas on what to get his groomsmen. None of them are drinkers, so that throws out about 95% of...

Who knew picking a tie color was so hard...
Kristen in Wedding Attire, on July 16, 2017 at 9:03 PM

Struggling to pick a tie color for FH and his guys is an understatement. My BMs ordered their dresses from Azazie in the color Cabernet *see below*. Since Azazie also makes ties, my plan was to just...

Kristen in Do It Yourself, on June 24, 2017 at 11:40 AM

I've been looking at invitations because I really need to to order them soon (like probably yesterday). I did find something on etsy that I really liked, but it's a digital file that the designer will...

'Difficult' bridesmaid
Kristen in Wedding Attire, on June 17, 2017 at 11:00 PM

I use this term loosely because I may be making a big deal out of something that's not. I asked each of my BMs separately for their dress budget. I chose to have them order their dresses from azazie,...

NWR: FH job opportunities
Kristen in Etiquette and Advice, on June 14, 2017 at 6:07 PM

I posted a few weeks ago about FH accepting a new job. His last job was okay, but he didn't enjoy the work and the pay was decently low compared to other engineering jobs in the area. The job he just...

Kristen in Wedding Attire, on May 12, 2017 at 9:51 AM

My BMs will be ordering there dresses from Azazie. I was originally going to have them order a long burgundy dress- I really wanted more of a wine color, but burgundy was the closest they had to wine...

Opinions on Mom's veil
Kristen in Wedding Attire, on May 11, 2017 at 10:59 PM

I have my dress, but I don't have any other accessories. I've been back and forth about using my mom's veil... she passed away almost two years ago and I would love to wear it to honor her. However,...

Kristen in Wedding Attire, on May 9, 2017 at 7:31 PM

I really want to start letting my hair dry in its own and wearing it more natural. I curl/ straighten it every single day to make it look decent but my hair is so damaged, even with heat protectant....

Lost a bridesmaid :(
Kristen in Wedding Attire, on May 10, 2017 at 8:31 PM

Today I got some news that I didn't want. One of my BMs just moved to Orlando (we're from east TN) to be near her boyfriend. She's been looking forward to this day for at least three years now....
