Gifts for your Groom
mel in Etiquette and Advice, on May 22, 2017 at 3:14 PM

mel in Wedding Attire, on April 18, 2017 at 8:30 PM

Here's my dress... Blaire from Midgley & Sottero. Do I have to match my jewelry to metal color my dress? I guess it's kind of an antique silver on the waist, straps, and back. My engagement ring is...

Los Angeles Area MUA & Hair
mel in Wedding Attire, on March 20, 2017 at 7:49 PM

Just like every other area of the wedding, MAN is hair and makeup expensive! My first quote for $280 seems "cheap" now that each quote I receive keeps going up. I was quoted today $400...

How did you choose your dress??
mel in Wedding Attire, on January 16, 2017 at 2:48 PM

I don't want DJ dance floor lights, is that weird?
mel in Planning, on September 20, 2016 at 3:52 PM

I've specifically chosen an outdoor romantic venue with string lighting and might add paper globe lights around the dance floor. I think neon colored DJ lights are cheesy. Am I making a mistake? Am I...
