NWR- CC debt.
Lauren in Etiquette and Advice, on March 20, 2015 at 7:41 PM

Ok, so I've seen a ton of posts here about debt, how you shouldn't have it, how you shouldn't travel if you have it, and it seems like a lot of women here have none. Now, I don't believe in putting my...

I had my makeup trial this weekend and I love it!!! I like how she blended everything and made it look really natural. I wanted to try a nude lip because I always do color. Not sure if I should stick...

Real candles or LED votives for tables??
Lauren in Etiquette and Advice, on February 16, 2015 at 12:41 PM

I can't decide...we want 4 votive candles around out centerpieces, but I'm not sure if I should do LED votives or real. What are you ladies doing? LEDs will be more expensive, but they won't burn out...

Anybody doing welcome bags??
Lauren in Do It Yourself, on February 9, 2015 at 6:36 PM

I'm on the fence about them. We will have a good amount of OOT guests, but we aren't doing a hotel block because there's tons of hotels near the venue. I'm leanings towards no welcome bags because...

Wedding planning and arguments with FH?
Lauren in Planning, on January 16, 2015 at 7:36 PM

Is it just me, or has anyone else experienced more arguments with FH while planning a wedding? I don't know if it's just the stress of finances, or all the change, but we've argued more now than we...

These hair and makeup prices are crazy.
Lauren in Wedding Attire, on January 2, 2015 at 8:58 PM

I budgeted way too low for hair and makeup, and I cannot justify paying what I'm seeing. I'm in the DC area, and minimums for makeup are 150 and up. A lot of them have a wedding party minimum, but...

Lauren in Planning, on November 30, 2014 at 3:18 PM

MUA are too damn expensive!

I live in the DC area, and I'm getting married in northern VA. I have been trying to find a MUA for weeks, and have yet to find not that seems reasonable. Maybe I'm just being cheap! All the prices...
