Melissa in Planning, on November 29, 2017 at 1:32 AM

Hello everyone, I know about all of the hashtag generators, but I feel like his last name is a great way to make a pun. His last name is Lane. Something like #mergingLanes, but I feel like y'all could...

Melissa in Wedding Attire, on August 29, 2017 at 5:15 PM

Hi everyone! I have always wanted a long (chapel or cathedral), simple veil (no lace or anything, just tulle). However, I also kind of like the idea of a fingertip-length veil (possibly with a...

Hey all! A recent bride was selling these centrepieces on my local Facebook buy and sell page. They are our colours and she was selling 17 of them for 75$ (!), so we bought them just in case we...

When did you get engagement photos back?
Melissa in Planning, on July 25, 2017 at 11:09 AM

Hey all. Just wondering how long it took for your photographer to send you your engagement photos back? Our contract doesn't say for engagement photos, but he told us a week after the shoot. Then we...

help! does anyone know the style number of this dress?
Melissa in Wedding Attire, on June 1, 2017 at 1:25 PM

I tried on this dress by Mori Lee in another city. The salon won't give me the style number (understandably, because they want me to buy it there), but I am hoping to try it on again here at home.....
