I knew the lack of drama lately was too good to be true.
LaurenVictoria in Etiquette and Advice, on July 26, 2013 at 10:58 AM

My friend is cray cray. Ok first of all, this was the girl who ASKED ME if she was going to be a bridesmaid. I did not want her to, because I know how dramatic she can get and I need calm people with...

There are genuinely nice people out there-- Wedding related
LaurenVictoria in Planning, on July 22, 2013 at 12:49 PM

Sometimes simple things happen that make you smile. I've been stressed about planning this wedding, specifically the money factor. We're not exactly rollin' in it, so we've been worried about having...

Anyone doing an Alice in Wonderland or garden party or tea party themed wedding? Here's a DIY idea.
LaurenVictoria in Do It Yourself, on July 21, 2013 at 10:56 AM

I think an Alice in Wonderland themed wedding is such a cool idea, but alas, I am not going that route. Anyway, this DIY I found for teacup candles was so cute and I thought it would be good for those...

LaurenVictoria in Wedding Attire, on July 19, 2013 at 2:11 AM

Just wanted to get an opinion! I like so many of these and can't choose. Here are a few I'm looking at, along with an image of my dress (but mine is ivory, not white). For reference, my colors are...

Shoes - dyable or no?
LaurenVictoria in Wedding Attire, on July 18, 2013 at 10:15 AM

I'm having trouble deciding whether to just tell my bridesmaids to find a nude/champagne colored shoe (and offer some suggestions), or have them just buy shoes at DB and have them dyed champagne....

Fall brides -- how are you making your wedding "feel autumn-ish"
LaurenVictoria in Do It Yourself, on July 14, 2013 at 11:19 PM

I felt ridiculous calling a store the other day to see if their pumpkin tealight holders were in stock yet, but I want to get them NOW! lol. They said they might be in in the next couple of weeks.....

LaurenVictoria in Style and Décor, on July 13, 2013 at 10:50 AM

Are you guys doing this? If so, what height vase are you using? I just realized I haven't thought about this at all but would like to do this. My vases for my centerpieces are tall and squared-- way...

Blusher veil or not? What are you doing?
LaurenVictoria in Wedding Attire, on July 11, 2013 at 10:33 AM

So back when I originally purchased my dress and accessories, I ended up with a blusher veil. It's a longer one, not like a birdcage veil. I also have an elbow-length veil that I'm wearing no matter...

Difference between acrylic and pink & white nails?
LaurenVictoria in Wedding Attire, on July 9, 2013 at 8:14 PM

So, it's been a really long time since I've had any sort of fake nails. I got them a couple of times when I was younger and I believe I got acrylic tips. I want tips for the wedding but the place I'm...

Does this suit need a vest?
LaurenVictoria in Wedding Attire, on July 8, 2013 at 11:29 AM

So, FH and groomsmen bought their suits this weekend. They ended up not getting the vests to go underneath the jacket, which at first I was ok with because I was tired and wasn't thinking lol. Now I'm...

The last time I tried on my dress was over a year ago and it didn't zip up..
LaurenVictoria in Wedding Attire, on July 7, 2013 at 10:15 AM

Inspired (scared..depressed..) by the fact it didn't fit (it did fit when I first bought it, though that was several yrs ago) I started getting serious about losing those pounds I had gained. I've...

Oyyy. I got a phone call the other day, she left a voice mail telling me I won three things. Well I knew it was likely nothing I was interested in. She even said in the message that she got my info...

tealights or votives?
LaurenVictoria in Style and Décor, on June 29, 2013 at 10:09 AM

You know how you can get stuck on little decisions? Like votives vs. tealights? Yeah. That's me right now. We are using medium sized lanterns in our centerpieces. They can accommodate both tealights...

NWR: grad school is getting the best of me these days
LaurenVictoria in Etiquette and Advice, on June 25, 2013 at 1:15 AM

Taking a break from writing a paper to vent a bit. :/ I'm usually an excellent student. I'm a perfectionist (which is probably part of the reason I'm struggling right now!). I started grad school in...
