Shape wear to dress shopping?
Melissa in Wedding Attire, on September 21, 2016 at 2:15 PM

So I technically put a deposit down on a dress, but I'm kind of feeling like I was talked into the dress, when I went JUST to look, by the ladies I brought with me. Thankfully my deposit is...

Dress shopping alone?
Melissa in Wedding Attire, on September 7, 2016 at 9:40 PM

In July I went to look at dresses with my sister and dads gf, mostly because my sister was wanting to go just for fun. And it was actually the opposite you would expect with people there, they just...

I really want to do an after party at this really cool English style pub that's literally the building next to our venue. I told FH about my idea and he really liked it. My question is, if you invite...

Are diy bouquets worth it?
Melissa in Do It Yourself, on August 25, 2016 at 2:20 PM

Since my colors are black and gold I've considered doing fake flowers, and to cut on cost. I found some black and white real touch calla lillies on etsy for $10 for 9 stems. As well as gold...

Is this weird?
Melissa in Etiquette and Advice, on August 16, 2016 at 9:49 AM

I'm not deciding this yet, I probably won't until the one year mark (7 more months!) I'm just trying to figure out if this is weird or sweet. I'm trying to get people in mind for my BP and feel out...
