Tell me about silicon rings
Laura in Wedding Attire, on August 7, 2019 at 7:22 PM

Obviously we don’t want to wear our regular rings all the time on our honeymoon cruise. But I’m having a hard time wading through all the different options in silicon rings. Where did you get yours?...

Laura in Wedding Reception, on August 6, 2019 at 12:46 PM

We’re having a dry wedding (no comments, please), and in addition to our bbq late lunch/early dinner, we’re of course serving drinks. Sweet tea & lemonade come with meal. Then I was thinking your...

Updo for thin hair
Laura in Hair and Makeup, on July 29, 2019 at 10:17 PM

So my HMU trial is this Saturday. I’d like an updo since the wedding is on the beach and I don’t need my hair blowing all over. But. My hair is very thin and fine. Is an updo even possible? I’ve...

Makeup trial
Laura in Hair and Makeup, on August 2, 2019 at 5:24 PM

My makeup trial is tomorrow. And my Pinterest board for makeup is all over the place in terms of color and style. And most are just eyes, not full face. I have very little idea of what I want. I know...

Plus ones for everyone?
Laura in Etiquette and Advice, on July 24, 2019 at 6:57 PM

So, FH casually mentioned last night that one of his friends said she "might bring someone" to the wedding. He didn't say no, we're not doing plus ones, even though I made clear to him that that was...

What to wear for engagement pics?
Laura in Parties and Events, on July 18, 2019 at 1:22 PM

Well we finally decided to do them (not included in our super affordable package), just shy of 4 months before the wedding. So really they’ll be pictures for us, not STD, invitations, etc. The space...

Vendor meals
Laura in Etiquette and Advice, on July 15, 2019 at 6:17 PM

I’m having bbq catered from the prominent local bbq place. So the only way to feed them (photog & assistant/husband) is to add to my count. But here’s my question: I’m only getting four hours of...

Rehearsal dinner for 3pm rehearsal?
Laura in Parties and Events, on July 14, 2019 at 9:43 PM

So I’m getting married on the beach. In order to have a really good idea of how everything should happen, we’re doing the rehearsal at the same time of day as our ceremony will be, 3pm. That means we...

mob outfit for casual beach wedding
Laura in Wedding Attire, on July 14, 2019 at 8:15 PM

So, my mother has no idea what to wear to my wedding and I honestly don’t know what to tell her. My website lists dress code as beach casual-be comfortable. I’m picturing cute sun dresses for the...

How did you find your seamstress?
Laura in Wedding Attire, on June 23, 2019 at 5:11 PM

I have about 6 weeks until I need to start the alterations process. I have NO idea how to find a seamstress. My friends are all long married and no good for referrals. Nobody I know, knows a...

Updo for thin, fine hair
Laura in Hair and Makeup, on June 21, 2019 at 5:43 PM

I’ve looked all over Pinterest and can’t find any pics that look like they’re my hair’s texture or (lack of) thickness. Does anyone have suggestions? I’d do half up half down but we’ll be on the...

Family member passing close to wedding date
Laura in Family and Relationships, on June 21, 2019 at 12:58 PM

So, my mother’s husband and I are not what you’d call close. Basically I tolerate him for the sake of my mom. We don’t see them often as they live a couple hours away. Anyway, the point is, he was...

Are they worth it? Are they comfy? Did they look good with your dress? My dress is tea length do shoes will so. We’ll be at the beach so heels and thin flats won’t work. Which so far, leaves me with...

Laura in Wedding Attire, on February 18, 2019 at 2:07 PM

I wasn’t planning on a veil but FH wants me to wear one so I may reconsider. But what goes with a tea length dress? Here’s my dress:

Beach brides - veil or no veil
Laura in Wedding Attire, on November 23, 2018 at 12:42 PM

So I’m getting married on the beach. I go back & forth about a veil because there’s likely to be a breeze and it could get blown around. I have a tea length dress so I would probably do a shorter...

Laura in Planning, on November 13, 2018 at 4:27 PM

Which wedding website?
Laura in Planning, on November 7, 2018 at 8:50 PM

Which wedding website are you/did you use and why? I set up a basic one here but I can’t figure out how to put in a FAQs page, which I feel like I should have.
