What kind of foundation are you wearing/wore on your wedding day? I’m looking for something that won’t make me look oily/shiny, something with more coverage. It will be hot on our wedding day. I’m...

Does anyone have an idea on how civil weddings work in Cook County, preferably the one in downtown? I’ve never been to one, and I’ve done some research, but the one in downtown doesn’t allow...
I’m having a hard time deciding on what kind of bouquet I want for our civil wedding. My dress is long and simple, ivory color. I’m leaning towards all white flowers, but that’s what I’m doing for our...

I found this dress that I possibly may wear for our civil wedding. I love how simple and elegant it is compared to my actual wedding dress. Should I pair it with a simple belt or no?
We finally gave in and decided to postpone our August 1st wedding. I was just over everything and didn’t want to wait any longer. Right after emailing our venue, our coordinator called and agreed that...
Can't decide. Our venue offers pizza, hot dog & fries, or french dip sandwiches. What would you want if you went to a wedding? Kinda leaning between pizza or hotdog & fries which is what I...
Torn between having dusty miller or silver dollar eucalyptus. The flowers will be all white and the girls dresses are a light grey color. Option 1: Option 2: Option 3: Sorry if the photos are blurry....
August 1st is our wedding. I know it’s a few months away and we don’t know what the future holds. I’m sorry to all brides who had to postpone/cancel/reschedule their weddings. Normally on my days off...
I have decent penmanship and I enjoy writing. I found these diy acrylic escort cards and it's about the same price as ordering traditional escort cards from Minted. They would match some of our...
So based on my previous discussion, I’ve decided to diy acrylic escort cards. But now I’m debating if I should lay them flat on the table or purchase holders. I like how organized they look with the...
For those who are doing a ceremony grand exit (or had did one), what are you using? We're getting married at a church so it can't leave a mess. The only thing I can think of that won't be super...
Anyone know where I can find shoes like these that aren’t crazy expensive?
I know these are extra and that we don't really need them. But how many of you bought customized champagne flutes and cake knife? Did you even use them after the wedding? I'm also worried that if we...

So FH and I decided on hiring a different photographer for our wedding. Even though we're spending more than we planned, we're happy with our decision. So now that's done, we couldn't pass up the...
We already picked our hashtag as #ForeverGuiang like the song which we plan on playing sometime during the wedding. Guiang is pronounced like young with a G in front of it. But then I thought of...
