Not so normal bachelorette parties
NerdLove in Community Conversations, on July 5, 2016 at 11:51 PM

Okay, so we all know that when most people think "bachelorette party" they think male strippers and heavy drinking. Not all of us are like that, so I wanted to put a thread out there for those brides...

NerdLove in Planning, on November 6, 2016 at 1:38 PM

So, my wedding was two weeks ago, and here's what I learned since then, and maybe it can help a few of you. 1. Find an officiant that you really click with. I've seen weddings where the officiant put...

Okay, so I finally caved and decided to post it. I love it. My hair was stubborn that day, but it'll all come together with the headband and armlet and all. Here it is!

Final Headcount
NerdLove in Etiquette and Advice, on September 27, 2016 at 10:18 PM

So, I'm supposed to have my final headcount for the venue/caterer this Saturday. I have a few people who haven't RSVP'ed yet. Should I account for half or all of the people who have not RSVP'ed?

NerdLove in Planning, on September 3, 2016 at 12:41 AM

October brides, those in long-distance engagements, and whoever else wants to chat about it: what's going through your head at this point in your engagement? Here's mine: So, it's exactly fifty days...

I know people do this, but I still can't believe it. [random rant-ish]
NerdLove in Etiquette and Advice, on August 29, 2016 at 8:19 PM

I sent an invitation to a friend of mine, and on the envelope I addressed it to both him and his husband. When I followed up to ask "hey, are you guys coming to the wedding?" and he replied "I was...

Fall wedding makeup: Ideas?
NerdLove in Wedding Attire, on July 10, 2016 at 3:38 AM

So, I'm doing my own makeup for my wedding, mostly because I like how I do my makeup. I've got a picture from our engagement photos that kind of gives you an idea of my complexion and style. I'm not...

Pixie Haircut Brides?
NerdLove in Wedding Attire, on August 15, 2016 at 1:03 AM

Hey, everyone! So, I've got an idea of what to do with my hair, and I'm doing it myself for the wedding. I've got a gold wire and pearl hair piece. The trick is taming my usually spiky hair (my normal...

Trial Wedding Makeup
NerdLove in Wedding Attire, on July 23, 2016 at 10:05 PM

So, I had my makeup trial today (no hair trial yet). For an October wedding, I love it. I may decide to go with a somewhat lighter color for the lip (though probably in the same color family), but...

Wedding hair for a pixie cut?
NerdLove in Wedding Attire, on January 10, 2016 at 8:21 PM

As you can see from the picture, I have a pixie cut, which makes finding the right headpiece pretty difficult. Headband? Blusher? Veil? Just a flower? Not really sure. Any ideas?

Alcohol at an afternoon wedding?
NerdLove in Planning, on January 11, 2016 at 10:28 AM

Our wedding is at 12 with a luncheon. Is it really necessary to have alcohol at all? It would add another 700 to 1000 to our bill, and neither me nor my fiance drink much anyway. So can we skip this...
