Split Planning
Mandee in Planning, on March 18, 2020 at 9:11 PM

Does anyone else here use both wedding wire and the knot? I like the forums and some of the tools better on here, but I like the guest list, website, and budgeter better on the knot! I'm a September...

So I'm getting my girls matching jewelry sets as gifts, but I'm not sure if I should match the dress or the groomsmen's suits? Like, should the gem of the jewelry be peacock (dark teal) to match the...

My Snapping Point
Mandee in Wedding Attire, on February 1, 2020 at 7:15 PM

Menu cohesion
Mandee in Wedding Reception, on January 30, 2020 at 1:58 AM

Trashy or Economical
Mandee in Wedding Reception, on December 7, 2019 at 6:34 AM
