PSA: LOCK your card box and store it in a safe, well monitored place during the reception!
Niki in Etiquette and Advice, on August 11, 2017 at 2:50 PM

So we've probably all heard this warning before, but not necessarily taken heed of it. I did hair and makeup for one of my regular clients wedding this past Saturday. After, I hear news that someone...

Which (edible) favor would you prefer?
Niki in Community Conversations, on March 21, 2016 at 10:33 AM

Awkward situation with FMIL and dress.. not sure how to proceed.
Niki in Etiquette and Advice, on March 15, 2016 at 6:31 PM

FMIL emailed me today asking about a dress she had saw, and if it was appropriate for the wedding. I've taken the stance so far of 'whatever you feel beautiful in' with both my mom and FMIL.. but this...

What shoes are you wearing?
Niki in Wedding Attire, on March 13, 2016 at 3:32 PM

After much searching, I finally found my wedding shoes! Well, hopefully. Ordered them from Nordstrom and I'm crossing my fingers they fit, since the next size up is sold out. Otherwise... back to the...

My $22 embellished belt! (yay for small victories!)
Niki in Do It Yourself, on March 10, 2016 at 9:39 PM

Had to share this score with you all, because I am PUMPED. I was so super in love with the belt my bridal salon had brought me to try on with my dress at my last fitting. I was not in love with the...

What is my menu missing? Help!
Niki in Etiquette and Advice, on March 9, 2016 at 12:21 PM

I can't shake the fact that our menu is missing something. Its buffet style, with salads and bread plated and served beforehand so nobody gets hangry waiting for their table to be called. We'll also...

Niki in Wedding Attire, on February 23, 2016 at 1:06 PM

I stumbled upon a free code for a tux trial through menguin/weddingwire and the options seemed nice so i figured we would give them a try. However.... I'm looking at their weddingwire page and I'd be...

Am I being unreasonable, RE: FH's bachelor party timing?
Niki in Planning, on February 18, 2016 at 10:57 AM

I really in my gut dont think I am, but I defer to WW. So the best man messaged me the other day asking for contact info of friends to invite to FH's bachelor party. I gave him the info, told them to...

Signature cocktail ideas to go with sicilian coastal-inspired menu?
Niki in Planning, on January 31, 2016 at 12:00 AM

I'm a little stumped on this one so I figured I'd ask you all! We're getting married on the outer banks (barrier islands that sit between the mainland sound and the ocean) - our menu is very Sicilian...

What sort of etiquette fails has a vendor suggested to you?
Niki in Etiquette and Advice, on January 28, 2016 at 2:46 PM

I know most of us probably have at least one story. I was thinking back to one of the venues we had looked into early into our planning process, and reminded of when we were discussing bar options....
