Wedding as project management: lessons learned from ours
Lori in Planning, on July 7, 2016 at 4:17 PM

We did it, and it went great! I'm just attaching one photo, not enough time to post a bunch. I just wanted to share my own lessons learned about the process of planning a wedding. For those who don't...

6 days out, running out of patience with wedding planning
Lori in Planning, on May 1, 2016 at 8:51 PM

So today FH and I went to our wedding venue, which is sort of a private park, and spent a couple hours cleaning the bathroom. Yes, really. And we are still begging the venue management for the cell...

Outdoor Wedding May 7 - obsessing about the forecast in 3, 2, 1.....
Lori in Planning, on April 13, 2016 at 2:02 PM

Yes, we have a fall back location, and a plan for when and how we will call it for rain, if we have to, but it is of course not our first choice. Accuweather now provides forecasts as far as a month...

Not doing any gifts for anyone - confused by the necessity
Lori in Etiquette and Advice, on March 24, 2016 at 4:12 PM

I'm an older bride (2nd marriage). FH and I are paying for everything but the rehearsal dinner ourselves. I am doing nearly all the work and planning. We are having no attendants, no best man, no MOH....

clutch / purse / wristlet - show us what you plan to carry
Lori in Community Conversations, on March 18, 2016 at 2:19 PM

Not down the aisle, but to the reception, etc. Phone, id, lipstick, a little cash. I bought mine on Etsy last night, am so stoked to see it. Vintage, sparkly! Kindofa splurge, but my rationalization...

Don't feed the bride. (Kidding! Sorta!)
Lori in Fitness and Health, on March 17, 2016 at 10:17 AM

I am sitting in a meeting. There is a box of Dunkin' Donuts at the other end of the table. Arrrrgh. Not. Gonna. Eat. One. Overall am having great success with toning and fitness (2.5 inches less...

Please, 'trial' not 'trail'
Lori in Wedding Attire, on March 15, 2016 at 10:18 AM

If you are doing a test run of your makeup / hair, it's a 'TRIAL'. If you are putting on big clunky shoes to walk in the woods, that's done on a 'TRAIL'. I know many post from their phones, but you...

Invitations finally done
Lori in Planning, on March 14, 2016 at 1:19 AM

I'll be dropping them in the mail tomorrow a.m. Yes, I know, a little later than ideal, but hey, that's what Save The Dates are for, right? It ended up taking more time than I expected to get my...

Show me your wedding earrings!
Lori in Wedding Attire, on February 26, 2016 at 11:58 AM

I bought a pair on Etsy, but am not loving them (the setting looks cheap to me), and have now looked at so many that they all look terrible to me. I am not usually 'that kind' of shopper, but I need...

To Bus or not to Bus
Lori in Planning, on March 2, 2016 at 5:22 PM

Ceremony location is a 50 minute drive from reception, in a bit of an out of the way place. Original plan: hire a bus to haul guests to location. Shopping for the bus has been a hassle, and the price...

Snacks for the bus?
Lori in Planning, on March 1, 2016 at 7:25 PM

So as a courtesy to my guests (and a stress reliever for me) I'm transporting my guests to and from the wedding site, which is about 1 hour from the reception and from the likely hotels. This way,...

In the course of planning our wedding, I have had so far three different vendors that I contacted either by phone or e-mail just completely flake on communication. They never returned my call or...

Question of the day
Lori in Planning, on February 25, 2016 at 7:01 PM

So, I've decided that I've reached the portion of wedding preparation where every single day, someone will ask me a question about the wedding. It will be a completely sensible and reasonable question...

Don't know what to call this role
Lori in Planning, on February 18, 2016 at 4:27 PM

I think I need to hire someone to coordinate logistics the day before and day of the wedding. However, I don't think I need a wedding planner per se. SMALL Wedding. Outdoor ceremony. 35 guests, family...

I read some great reviews of this vendor for groomsmen's clothing for beach weddings, but what I want to know is, has anyone on here ordered one of their custom suits?...
