Are you keeping your dress out of sight until the wedding? Did you find a clever place to keep it, or is this not an issue for you?

Any Honeymoon Reports and Pictures?
Michael in Honeymoon, on July 9, 2023 at 9:48 PM

It has been a while since anyone has shared a report back about their honeymoons. There may not have been any reports since Florida was facing a storm and a couple had to cut short their honeymoon.

Train or no train?
Michael in Wedding Attire, on May 18, 2022 at 2:14 PM

Matching Groomsmen shirts to Bridesmaid dresses
Michael in Wedding Attire, on May 9, 2022 at 8:02 PM

Has anyone been able to match groomsmen shirts to the bridesmaid dresses? This could be a cool way to go. Or it might work to have any bridesmen matching the bridesmaid dresses on the bridal party.
