Average cost for bridal makeup in Atlanta?
Lauren R. in Wedding Attire, on November 24, 2014 at 2:34 PM

I just got a quote from a makeup artist a couple of people recommended to me for $160 for my makeup (the trial is an additional $70) and then $70 for each of my bridesmaids. That...

August brides - we're almost there!
Lauren R. in Wedding Attire, on July 14, 2015 at 6:47 AM

Some of us only have a few days to go and others have a little longer (39 for me - wow), but we're all pretty much in the same boat. What do you have left to do? Our tasting is today and we will...

What are you using for your "getaway car?"
Lauren R. in Community Conversations, on June 17, 2015 at 12:30 PM

Not for bridal party transportation - just you and your FH/FW. FH just told me he rented a fancy car - probably because both of our cars are on their last legs. lol Just wondering if this is normal....

When do we review WW vendors again?
Lauren R. in Planning, on May 30, 2015 at 10:23 AM

I got an email from WW asking me to review two of the vendors I have booked for my wedding, but my wedding isn't for another three months. I thought we weren't supposed to review until after our event...

Flower Girl Advice
Lauren R. in Wedding Attire, on May 20, 2015 at 9:49 AM

This is what happens when I don't put my foot down. Future brides, please take note! Originally, we weren't going to have any kids at the wedding. FH's family threw a fit, so we relented and said we...

100 days to go! August brides, how are you doing?
Lauren R. in Planning, on May 14, 2015 at 9:29 PM

The time really did fly! I'm starting to concentrate on details now - the fun stuff. I still have to buy my accessories/shoes, guest book, bridal party gifts, ring, and book wedding night...

Has anyone ordered their wedding/engagement ring from Brilliant Earth? If not, where?
Lauren R. in Wedding Attire, on May 17, 2015 at 5:40 PM

They don't seem to be as popular, but I ran across them a long time ago (before I was even engaged) and loved what I saw on their site. Has anyone had personal experience with them? I am not finding...

What's a good price for a decent hair comb/accessory?
Lauren R. in Wedding Attire, on May 15, 2015 at 9:41 PM

I've been looking on Etsy and am perplexed. The pricing seems to be all over the place and it's hard to tell what the quality is like. Is this one of those 'you get what you pay for' deals? Would I be...

Ladies with outdoor ceremonies - are you using/did you use a runner?
Lauren R. in Wedding Attire, on May 11, 2015 at 7:10 AM

I was chatting with my parents last night and they both seem to think I need a runner so I won't get my dress dirty. I figure it will get dirty anyway when I am outside for photos and whatnot. Is it...

Did you tell people who weren't invited about your engagement/wedding?
Lauren R. in Etiquette and Advice, on May 9, 2015 at 12:30 PM

I'm wondering if I did something wrong. There are some girls that I know whom I was close with years ago, but we have grown apart and only speak occasionally now (and even then it's only on Facebook)....

Rehearsal Dinner - What should I offer?
Lauren R. in Planning, on April 30, 2015 at 8:40 AM

So we have found a restaurant we would like to host our rehearsal dinner at. They could accommodate our large group (50) with no issues and they are very affordable. However, since they are a more...

Lauren R. in Planning, on April 21, 2015 at 1:35 PM

Is anyone in the Atlanta area aware of a rehearsal dinner venue that will allow outside catering? We would need it for around 50 guests. I am well aware that this is a long shot, but wanted to try...

Kids' Room Help/Ideas
Lauren R. in Planning, on April 12, 2015 at 9:40 AM

It looks like we are going to have a kids' room at the wedding venue. We originally decided on no kids all, but FH's parents threw a fit (they just found out) and we realized we would have to...

Costa Rica or St. Lucia for late August honeymoon?
Lauren R. in Wedding Attire, on March 11, 2015 at 12:51 PM

Sorry if this shows up more than once -my mobile app is doing weird things today. We are down to these two locations and can't decide. Priorities are great local food, the opportunity to experience...

Those with international guests - how are you handling invitations?
Lauren R. in Planning, on March 21, 2015 at 12:47 PM

My FH has a few relatives overseas that he would like to invite and I am hesitant to send them paper invitations, but an email seems so informal. Do you think it is worth the expense? Will the...

Should I hire a makeup artist for engagement photos?
Lauren R. in Wedding Attire, on March 12, 2015 at 6:25 PM

My wedding makeup artist isn't available, but I was referred to someone who wants $100. She is willing to come to me and will do touch ups if needed, but we are only doing an hour shoot and it...

Did anyone purchase STDs and NOT send them out?
Lauren R. in Wedding Attire, on March 5, 2015 at 11:34 AM

We are tight on space and FH, my parents and I are having a tough time cutting anyone else (we are over capacity for our venue with our list right now). I am thinking that maybe we should just send...

Anyone doing a "mini-moon?" What are you doing for it?
Lauren R. in Honeymoon, on January 28, 2015 at 1:59 PM

So FH and I are really set on going to Europe, but we can't afford it at the moment. Instead, I think we are going to do a mini-moon this year right after the wedding and then save up to take the big...

FH's parents want to pay for extra guests but not other costs
Lauren R. in Etiquette and Advice, on January 3, 2015 at 9:42 AM

FH and I have split the cost of the wedding with my parents in half. FH's parents have not offered to contribute and I do not expect them to at this point. However, I was asked by FMIL about the cost...
