Hi there! I'm getting married in my parents backyard next summer (July) and I am concerned about lighting for the reception and sound for the ceremony. The ceremony will be in the woods which is about...
Has anyone tried wedding dress preservation by the knot? If not, what did/will you do? Local dry cleaner? Just clean? Preserve? Everything seems to pricey but obviously I don't want to mess up my...
We finally got our pro-photos back and I am so excited to share them with you all. Our wedding day was *nearly* perfect, and I don’t believe perfection is attainable so I’ll just say it was ideal....
Anyone else get really anxious about their pro-photos before you get them back? I'm terrified that the photos won't be good, that my makeup will be terrible from all the crying, that she didn't get...
Our wedding day was a dream... with one exception. Our guest shuttle arrived ~45 minutes late which obviously threw off our entire wedding timeline quite a lot. They were scheduled for a 3pm pickup...
We did it we did it! Can't wait for the pro pics and a full BAM but just wanted to share the love of the most surreal, perfect day.
Hello! Do we need to serve alcoholic drinks at our send-off brunch? The welcome drinks and reception will both have open bars. Just curious as I want to host well but also it's all adding up and...
Has anyone used the wedding wire wed social app? I would love to get photos from my guests but not sure the best way to do so. We do have a professional coming too of course but won't get those photos...
My bridesmaids threw me the loveliest bachelorette party in Chicago this weekend! We stayed in on Friday and had a middle school style slumber party and sage-ing ritual, and then on Saturday we went...
Hi! I finally had my hair and makeup trial yesterday. You may remember I posted a few weeks ago about being unhappy with my first makeup trial so this is definitely an improvement. I feel pretty good...
Went to my first dress fitting and I am swooning... it was surprisingly emotional to be in my dress. I cried a lot! I also tried out my accessories and think it all came together pretty well. Do you...
Anyone have any advice for how to keep bugs away at an outdoor (backyard) reception? We are planning on offering bracelets/bug spray and burning citronella candles but I'd like to see if there's...
Our caterer provides all the alcohol but we can pick whatever we would like to serve. We are expecting ~120 guests (and will adjust quantifies if we have more). Thoughts on these menu options and...
I've been planning a welcome party for our guests as many of them are from OOT. As RSVPs come in, I'm realizing that more are RSVPing than the space accommodates (just for the welcome party--actual...
So I have started getting RSVPs back and I'm feeling weirdly anxious. Actually, I am feeling extremely anxious and depressed; I feel like I'm losing it. I'm partially having guest list regret. For...
We just went to our first dance lesson and I am so excited!!! Is planning a choreographed dance?
FH and I delivered our invites to the post office today! We had a stuffing "party" last night and they're off in the mail now. I cannot wait to start getting RSVPs! It feels really real now. Just...
I did my own makeup "trial" last night and went to a pro trial a few weeks back. I posted about it and got good feedback (thank you!) but now I'm wondering about your thoughts on the DIY vs. pro. I...
I'd like to follow proper etiquette with guest addressing, and I'd also like to include first names of both partners in any married couple that share a last name (rather than using just the man's...
So I just did a makeup trial and I kind of want to cry... I feel like I don't look like me at all! Is this normal? Also, any feedback? The lip is way too dark... so I took it off in the second photo...
