I got married on November 5th 2019 and it was amazing. There are so many words to describe the day so I'm going to split it between what went wrong and what was perfect! What went wrong: The big oops...

What does your venue look like?
Mary in Planning, on June 13, 2019 at 12:17 PM

Our wedding will be in two separate places because I am Greek orthodox so our ceremony will be at a small Orthodox chapel in my hometown! It is super cute and will be decorated with very light colored...

Dress alterations!!
Mary in Wedding Attire, on August 12, 2019 at 3:06 PM

I got my dress alterations done! I had a V neck before and I wanted it to be a scoop neck but they didn’t have the same material so the seamstress had to find a similar material and lace and pin it...

Mary in Community Conversations, on July 1, 2019 at 9:23 PM

I just received the biggest blessing. My FH and I are very broke college students and we are having a super bargain wedding. 80 people for only $5,000. I wasn't even going to get a wedding...

To preface, my whole wedding is costing ~$5k. I am a college student so I’m desperately trying to plan the whole wedding before the fall semester starts on August 20th. I am also planning the...

Pinterest users?
Mary in Community Conversations, on July 8, 2019 at 8:50 PM

I am a die hard pinterest user and I have been since I was 16, before I even met my FH! I am still fairly young (almost 22) so I find myself much more technology involved than my other wedding...

No honeymoon?
Mary in Honeymoon, on June 12, 2019 at 7:17 PM

My FH and I still haven't decided on going on a honeymoon or not. It's very expensive and I don't really enjoy traveling very much. How did you decide where you wanted to go and how much did it...

Seat covers?
Mary in Style and Décor, on June 13, 2019 at 2:34 PM

My reception venue is providing chairs for us but the chairs are the normal bland chairs and I can't afford to rent Chiavari chairs or anything like that. The wedding is fairly formal but it does have...

Mary in Planning, on June 16, 2019 at 1:39 PM
