Best places to buy lingerie?
Madelaine in Wedding Attire, on March 3, 2017 at 8:09 AM

What's the best place to buy lingerie for a child-sized bride? I'm looking for more of a satin nightgown and robe combination, instead of just underwear. I'm five feet tall, so it either needs to come...

Veil over face?
Madelaine in Wedding Attire, on March 13, 2017 at 3:55 PM

I'm still undecided about whether I'll wear my veil over my face as I walk down the aisle. If I do, when do I raise it? I've read that traditionally, either the father raises it to give the bride...

Why get married?
Madelaine in Community Conversations, on January 11, 2017 at 10:12 AM

I'm excited to marry my fiancé in just over two months! For us, getting married is a big step, even though we already live together. My father is from Austria. A lot of my Austrian cousins and their...

Experience with Annabel an' Ruby or Ieie Bridal? (Etsy dressmakers)
Madelaine in Wedding Attire, on January 2, 2017 at 11:27 PM

Hello! I've looked at thousands of dresses (mostly online, but I've tried on about 20), and I still haven't found what I like. My tastes are archaic and specific. So, I've decided to have a dress...

Groom in Grey
Madelaine in Wedding Attire, on December 19, 2016 at 5:18 PM

My fiance has decided that he will wear a grey suit to the wedding. I tried to persuade him that black would be better, but he insists on grey, and I respect his decision about his own clothing....

Resources for caring for 74-year-old dress?
Madelaine in Wedding Attire, on December 6, 2016 at 4:30 PM

My dance teacher just gave me her mother's wedding dress from 1942. I was the first person to remove it from the box since that year. It was beautiful and could be again. The fabric is discolored and...

Mother won't wear a dress
Madelaine in Wedding Attire, on November 20, 2016 at 10:36 PM

My mother is adamant that she doesn't want to wear a dress to my wedding. She hasn't worn a dress in about 20 years. I want to make sure that what she DOES wear will match everyone else's level of...

Groom in tailcoat?
Madelaine in Wedding Attire, on September 22, 2016 at 7:34 PM

My FH and I are both old-fashioned and traditional. We do historical recreation dancing and go to the Dickens Fair for fun. I almost had a Victorian-themed wedding, but I didn't want to put the rest...

Using both maiden and married names?
Madelaine in Planning, on September 15, 2016 at 4:15 PM

Hello! I'm 22, and I began my career as a professional opera singer at age 14. I have a long resume, a website, and a lot of connections. I'm having the classic career-woman problem of wanting to use...

What do you look for in an officiant?
Madelaine in Planning, on August 21, 2016 at 9:53 PM

Hello, it's me again, the one who is/was considering using a friend as an officiant. (FH still wants to use a friend.) Now I'm looking more seriously at professional officiants, using vendor lists,...

Resell wedding items?
Madelaine in Do It Yourself, on August 21, 2016 at 9:04 PM

I recently received a pair of beautiful wedding shoes in the mail, but they're too small. Returning them would be prohibitively expensive, because I would have to pay for shipping to China. Do any of...

Friend Officiating?
Madelaine in Planning, on July 30, 2016 at 1:06 AM

My wedding is going to be in a "deconsecrated" Catholic church, which is really just a secular chapel owned by a Landmarks Society. Basically, it looks like a church, but it isn't. Neither my FH nor I...

Looking for warm, coastal, quiet honeymoon in March.
Madelaine in Honeymoon, on July 28, 2016 at 5:30 PM

Hello! I'm getting married in March 2017. We would love to honeymoon by the coast, and we would be happier if it's warm enough for swimming. We will be living in Ohio but the wedding is in California....

Hairdresser in Tiburon, CA
Madelaine in Wedding Attire, on July 27, 2016 at 2:59 PM

Does anyone have recommendations for a hairdresser in Tiburon, CA? I grew up in Mill Valley, so I ought to know one, but I've never had my hair professionally done! My wedding date is March 18, 2017....
