Retaking wedding pictures
MrsRidley in Etiquette and Advice, on February 18, 2018 at 10:00 PM

The photographer we chose was really bad. His camera was great and the quality of the photos were awesome, but I sent him over a list of the poses I really wanted, and I only got two of those poses on...

Old "Traditions" That People Need To Let Go
MrsRidley in Community Conversations, on June 17, 2017 at 5:37 PM

Yesterday, I was talking with my grandmom and she asked me what I was going to get my bridesmaids. I told them I would shop like it's their birthday, so I wasn't exactly sure just yet. Her response:...

Not doing a grand entrance for wp
MrsRidley in Wedding Reception, on December 24, 2017 at 10:10 PM

Initially, we were going to a grand entrance for the WP. I was thinking maybe each male could come in with a female, or maybe they could come in by title (All the groomsmen/Bridesmaids). After giving...

Wearing a faux fur wrap during indoor ceremony?
MrsRidley in Wedding Attire, on December 26, 2017 at 10:36 PM

I had my final dress fitting today, and I am a little concerned about how busty I am in the dress. I knew the risk of getting a strapless sweetheart dress, but during the fittings everything seemed...

FH doesn't want me to see his tux.
MrsRidley in Wedding Attire, on December 6, 2017 at 6:03 PM

I'm going half crazy, because my FH doesn't want me to see his tux. He's going tomorrow to pick it up, and I asked if I could go with him and he's just like "Well, let me see your dress." NOOOOO. Did...

MOH does not have a dress
MrsRidley in Etiquette and Advice, on December 4, 2017 at 4:17 PM

So I was very lenient with my BMs and allowed to do the mismatched BMs dresses. I told them all long, blush/rose gold formal dresses. I did not have any care in where they got them. Now all of my BMs...

Make up Trial
MrsRidley in Wedding Attire, on November 21, 2017 at 8:59 PM

I did my own make up, any thoughts? I have a lot that I want to touch up: I don't want to wear that color lip, maybe lighter on the Smokey part of the Smokey eye, and my wings were a little off to me....

Where did FS get their suit? Rent or buy?
MrsRidley in Wedding Attire, on October 5, 2017 at 11:11 AM

Where did your FS get their suit or tux? How soon before the wedding did they get it? And would you suggest renting or buying?

We’ve decided to do cupcakes for the wedding. With a guest list of 150 people, how many cupcakes should we get?

Lace Veil or Beaded Veil
MrsRidley in Wedding Attire, on September 5, 2017 at 7:58 PM

When my dress finally came in, I tried on a beaded veil at the shop. I want a cathedral length veil, and I have always envisioned a cathedral veil with beautiful lace detail. My best friend came with...

Pre-Wedding events (who should or shouldn't come)
MrsRidley in Etiquette and Advice, on August 17, 2017 at 5:37 PM

My best friend is my MOH and has been beginning to plan my Bachelorette Party. We're planning to go out of town to D.C. for a few days. I guess she's been letting my other BP members know, so they can...

Junior Bridesmaid or Flower Girl?
MrsRidley in Etiquette and Advice, on August 14, 2017 at 8:57 PM

Is 12 too old to be a flower girl? I feel that she's too young to be a Junior Bridesmaid, but she's too old to be a flower girl. I was looking into this dress for the flower girls, but I feel like...

My Dress is Finally Here!
MrsRidley in Wedding Attire, on August 11, 2017 at 7:12 PM

After 8 months, my dress finally came! It's about a size too big, but that's nothing alterations can't fix. I was so in love, I didn't want to take it off.

MrsRidley in Planning, on July 31, 2017 at 2:46 PM

My MOH is trying to start planning the dates for my Bridal Shower and Bachelorette Party. Do these two events "have" to be back to back and one before the other (Bridal Shower before Bachelorette...

NWR: Adopting a Puppy
MrsRidley in Etiquette and Advice, on June 22, 2017 at 3:04 PM

FH and I adopted two cats almost a year ago, both over 1 year old. They are playful, but one can be really nervous sometimes. He jumps at loud noises and things like that. He is perfect with our other...
