Do you need a ceremony AND reception gown?
L. Turtle in Wedding Attire, on August 7, 2010 at 7:28 PM

Hi all! Long time lurker, first time poster. I need honest answers here: what is the protocol for this? If you only have one dress, does it have to be a certain length or style? I'm so confused.

Chuppah-holders: your input, please!
L. Turtle in Planning, on December 27, 2010 at 9:29 AM

After seeing Rebecca's wedding photos, I have to ask the Jewish brides: Are you having people hold your chuppah or are you having it stationary? A non-Jewish friend of mine was recently a...

At how many hotels do you have blocks of rooms reserved?
L. Turtle in Planning, on May 12, 2011 at 10:31 AM

My wedding is in August, but many guests have already started booking their rooms at the one hotel we have rooms blocked off because they're worried about space. Should I contact another hotel and...

Our DIY woodland themed escort cards, card box, and wedding tree

I haven't been around for a while due to my impending nuptials, but I thought you all might like to see some DIY stuff! If you don't like it, that's cool, but we're 4 days away and there's nothing...

Are you kidding me, DJ?
L. Turtle in Planning, on July 30, 2011 at 2:55 PM

I need input from marrieds and other DJs. Our DJ suggested Vitamin String Quartet for our ceremony music, so FH and I spent hours going through their songs on amazon.com to pick the ones we liked the...

L. Turtle in Community Conversations, on June 28, 2011 at 10:23 AM

Ladies, I need your stories to make me feel better!! Today there was a load of unwashed old hand towels (what I thought were rags) in the washing machine, so I ran it in a regular warm water wash so...

Inner envelope poll - the "traditional" way or the "modern" way?
L. Turtle in Etiquette and Advice, on April 18, 2011 at 8:05 AM

According to some website I found while googling this, there are two acceptable ways to address the inner envelopes of the invitations. I'm wondering, if any of you are actually using inner envelopes,...

How are you arranging your day after brunch? Must provide proof to mom that people use restaurants for this!
L. Turtle in Planning, on April 3, 2011 at 4:40 AM

My mom is insisting that it would just be easier to rent chairs, buy some platters, and have out of town guests over my parents' house the morning after the wedding rather than going to a restaurant....

L. Turtle in Planning, on August 18, 2010 at 10:12 PM

Did you have more guests that showed up without rsvp-ing/rsvp-ing no, or guests that rsvp-ed yes and didn't show up?

Universal Life Church - anyone have any experience with their ordination?
L. Turtle in Planning, on March 14, 2011 at 1:18 AM

We've decided to have our parents marry us, because having my aunt (a Rabbi) do it isn't working out. Is anyone else having someone get ordained on their behalf to perform the wedding? Any experiences...

How did you choose your MUA and hairdresser? How long in advanced of the wedding did you book them?
L. Turtle in Wedding Attire, on March 7, 2011 at 8:33 PM

My wedding is in August and I have neither of these booked yet. How do you even find MUAs?? Help!

How to dress the men - champagne tuxes and ivory shirts? What about vests??
L. Turtle in Planning, on December 9, 2010 at 11:22 PM

Thanks to the awesome August 2011 brides, I've decided it's really time to reserve some tuxes before that January price hike! I just have no idea what goes together. We are using tuxedo junction...
