Ivory bridesmaid dresses? (Attn: KK)
L. Turtle in Planning, on November 27, 2010 at 11:39 PM

A while back KK posted a photo of a bride and her bridesmaids all wearing ivory. I'm starting to think I'd like to go that route but I can't find the post where she posted the photo and I'm not having...

I FINALLY found a dress! Soooo excited!! (bad pics inside)
L. Turtle in Planning, on November 5, 2010 at 11:02 AM

As you may recall, my options were not looking good when I went shopping over a month ago. There was the discoball dress, sleevey wonder, and of course, an all-time favorite, the claw. Chinese wedding...

China's hottest new fashion trends - IN BRIDAL STORES, NOW!! (my pics!)
L. Turtle in Planning, on September 16, 2010 at 7:47 AM

So yes, while shopping today, I found almost nothing appropriate for a non-Halloween wedding. The shop owners really did not want me to take photos, but I couldn't resist, so I snuck a few in here and...

Need help finding matching bride & groom underwear!
L. Turtle in Planning, on October 23, 2010 at 7:06 AM

FH suggested that we wear matching underwear on our wedding day, but we have only come across boxers for the groom. FH wears briefs. Also, he wants his to look like a tuxedo and mine to look like a...

In case anyone wants to reconnect with dks, her thread still has legs but won't bump up to the top for some reason. Here's the link:...

Centerpieces (DIY and professional ones) - where else do you need them aside from the obvious?
L. Turtle in Planning, on September 20, 2010 at 7:29 AM

We just got a quote from a florist - about $50 a pop for bamboo centerpieces. I haven't seen the mock-ups, but I got to see a photo on a cell phone over skype video... I guess that's good...

The one, the ONLY dress I tried on throughout 3 hours of dress shopping. You like?
L. Turtle in Planning, on September 16, 2010 at 10:59 AM

As predicted, the only dresses available to try on were a size -20, but because it had a corset back and didn't have any of the crazy a$$ shiz of the dresses I posted on my previous...

Feeling extremely nervous about dress shopping.
L. Turtle in Planning, on September 9, 2010 at 1:29 AM

I had my first wedding nightmare last night. I went into my closet on my wedding day to see if I had anything to wear, and all I had was this huge purple velvet monstrosity. I looked horrible all day!...

Cinderella Couture?
L. Turtle in Planning, on September 3, 2010 at 1:59 AM

Someone posted about www.oncewed.com somewhere here, and for a laugh I decided to see if there was anything close to my kind of style for sale (I'm extremely nervous about going dress shopping here,...

How to ask my extremely sensitive Rabbi aunt not to make our ceremony all Jewishy
L. Turtle in Planning, on September 2, 2010 at 6:08 AM

Here's the dillyo. My aunt, a Rabbi for more than 30 years, basically begged my mother to be allowed to officiate my wedding. She officiated my parents' wedding, and it would definitely be a cute...

Anyone care for a virtual gym buddy?
L. Turtle in Planning, on August 24, 2010 at 9:08 AM

I really need someone to yell at me for not getting my daily workout in, and unfortunately my FH is too sweet to get riled up! We're doing the workouts together, but there are days when I'm able to...

Homemade waxing recipes?
L. Turtle in Planning, on August 20, 2010 at 2:22 AM

Anyone wax themselves at home? What recipe do you use? I've googled a few sugar waxing recipes, and they're all slightly different.

Anyone NOT changing their last name?
L. Turtle in Planning, on August 17, 2010 at 9:40 PM

I can't change it for at least a year after the wedding anyway because of differences in passport/visa processing, but really that's just a convenient excuse for me to give his family. I'm not...

How do you let someone know they aren't invited, despite their persistent and public assumption?
L. Turtle in Etiquette and Advice, on August 8, 2010 at 8:20 PM

FH and I joined a volunteer organization from July 2008-July 2009 for a one year stint abroad teaching. There were nearly 70 volunteers in our group, and we were all spread out from each other around...
