Greenery
Lauren in Style and Décor, on August 12, 2019 at 3:33 PM

I’m having a hard time finding greenery for my tables. I want the runner/garland look but it’s pretty pricey. My tables aren’t standard banquet tables, they’re restaurant tables so there’s not a lot...

So 90% of our guests will be from OOT, and while I don't want to have a full on rehearsal dinner w/all of them, my parents want most to be there since it's family and they've graciously offered to...

Getting ready room
Lauren in Hair and Makeup, on July 6, 2018 at 10:16 AM

Is a standard hotel room big/spacious enough for 6 people to get ready the morning of? Our wedding is at a hotel and we're staying the Friday before as well. They have a "glam room", which is a suite...

Fake Flowers/centerpieces
Lauren in Style and Décor, on June 22, 2018 at 11:44 AM

So I'm not big on spending a lot on flowers because it's just not worth it to me since our wedding is so small. I'm buying fake bouquets so I'm thinking of after the ceremony using them, plus maybe...

Photographer
Lauren in Planning, on June 21, 2018 at 12:56 PM

How did you choose your photographer when it was time? I've narrowed it down to 2 whose work is amazing. I've talked to the one for a while because I thought I'd book her when we were getting married...
