Cannot speak more highly of Etsy vendor Will Massenburg. With VERY little lead time (procrastination king FH) he created and shipped these fantastic custom groomsmen gifts.

You guys! Never expected to post a BAS, as we are an ‘older’ couple, together twelve years, having a small DW, have owned a home together for years, and didn’t register as a result. We are truly just...

Our girls’ dresses arrived yesterday. We ordered the custom sizes, and I’m not going to lie...I was nervous. Can I just say that they fit each girl like a glove?! If you’re considering using the...

So, I ordered some custom bouquets and bouts for our wedding party from a well reviewed Etsy site on October 28. We exchanged several detailed messages to fine tune what the end results would be, with...

So, a dear and lifelong friend, who happens to be an amazing seamstress, asked if she could alter my dress as her wedding gift. I was humbled. I just didn’t realize how much so... She came up from...

So, I know favors aren’t a *must* but I’d like to do a little something extra for our guests. Everyone will be traveling to attend, so I feel like this will help as a small gesture of thanks. We’re...

I'm facing a bit of a situation, and could use some advice. My HMUA was on the preferred list of our coordinator and photographer. I follow her on Instagram and fb, and her reviews on WW and The Knot...

Azazie is offering a 10% discount on Monday. Code is Cyber17, and covers all orders. It's not a huge discount, but they don't seem to offer discounts often.

So, my bridesmaids will be in mismatched dresses. All the same material and color, but different dresses to reflect their different personalities and style. I'm planning on making their bouquets....

Let me preface this by saying that I do not have the coveted crafting gene. I can bake and cook, but am mortally fearful of hot glue. That being said, I wanted to do at least one DIY, just so that I...

Because we're doing a DW, I'm not going to be able to do a trial. I am a little nervous, obviously. My fear is ending up looking like Tammy Faye Bakker and scaring the children. I wear makeup daily,...
