Veil for a high low dress?
Laura in Wedding Attire, on June 9, 2020 at 11:41 AM

I know that not many are fans of this style dress. But it's one I can get and not need hemmed in case things continue to shut down. *My venue just cancelled my 5 person wedding (we're onto our 6th set...

What style of bride are you - and show me the dress that shows it (the one!)?!
Laura in Wedding Attire, on June 3, 2020 at 3:10 PM

I thought that maybe other brides might have struggled to figure out "What kind of bride they wanted to be" like I did. So, I thought I'd show how I finally figured it out... Dress 1. What others...

Alterations... Cost before switching dresses to the renewal dress... ?
Laura in Wedding Attire, on May 19, 2020 at 5:49 PM

I have a dress that I love, however - thanks to the Covid 15 (pounds) it doesn't zip. They may have to add gussets - I'll know tomorrow. How much would you spend on alterations before you saved that...

Etiquette... Showers and elopement
Laura in Etiquette and Advice, on May 15, 2020 at 8:36 PM

Are we finally moving toward the idea that if you have a private wedding or elopement that you can have showers and parties too? Or are we letting Covid take those away too? I know many of us have...

Not so depressing postponement announcements.
Laura in Planning, on May 5, 2020 at 6:41 PM

Has anyone done postponement announcements that are either humorous or lighthearted? I don't want to make light of this time, but I do want to send a message of hope or levity (humor)... Any ideas????...

Laura in Community Conversations, on May 15, 2020 at 12:34 PM

These are in no particular order: 1. Keep dress alterations in mind when choosing a dress. The need to postpone can mean that you'll end up with a dress too big or too small or from the wrong season....

Stressing the details...
Laura in Planning, on May 11, 2020 at 10:52 PM

We shrank the wedding to 5 immediate family members including us. But... I'm worried about alterations, if my dress will even fit, how to get hair and make up done. Ugh. We're going all out for the...

Dress alterations advice!
Laura in Wedding Attire, on May 12, 2020 at 4:46 PM

I received my dress and I am in love. It has a zipper in the back. It wouldn't zip but I know that wedding dresses really aren't meant to zip yourself. However, I had a bad feeling. So, I checked the...
