OG Kristen in Planning, on April 1, 2015 at 10:12 AM

So FH and I are having our wedding about 45 minutes from where our parents and immediate families live. Our rehearsal will obviously be at the venue, and we have some people in the wedding party who...

hors d'oeuvres
OG Kristen in Planning, on March 31, 2015 at 11:38 AM

How many hors d'oeuvres are you serving at your cocktail hour (if you're having one)? We're looking at about 175-180 guests and our platters are available in 50 pieces and 100 pieces. We were thinking...

Shoes!!!
OG Kristen in Wedding Attire, on March 30, 2015 at 8:47 PM

I just got my shoes in and I am absolutely in love with them. Some of you may think they're impractical. And they probably are. But they're so me and perfect I just had to make a dramatic post about...

Ugh wedding bands!
OG Kristen in Wedding Attire, on March 29, 2015 at 11:20 AM

I thought that finding a wedding band would be so easy. I knew I just wanted a plain diamond band. Well, in order to fit my e ring is has to have a certain curve to it. Of course I never realized that...

Accessorizing help!
OG Kristen in Style and Décor, on March 24, 2015 at 11:41 AM

So, I originally envisioned having all of my jewelry match my sash. I went to my grandma's house over the weekend and noticed that she has so many pearls. I would love to find a way to incorporate...

OG Kristen in Planning, on March 24, 2015 at 4:48 PM

Cake inspiration! And tell us what flavors you have. This is ours. We're doing 3 tiers instead of 4, so just imagine without the top tier. We're also doing one orange rose on each tier. The bottom and...

Outdoor Ceremony
OG Kristen in Planning, on March 24, 2015 at 9:35 AM

Another thread made me think of this. My ceremony is outdoors in October in NY. Am I being incredibly rude for doing this? Our ceremony should last about 15-20 minutes and our cocktail hour and...

Receiving Line
OG Kristen in Planning, on March 23, 2015 at 2:58 PM

Are you doing one? If so, who is standing in it? I'm debating whether or not I want to have one. I feel like it gets awkward for people who know the couple, but not the families of the couple very...

Ways to make MOH stand out?
OG Kristen in Planning, on March 23, 2015 at 12:04 PM

How are you making your MOH stand out, if at all? I'm having my MOH carry a bouquet that is a bit larger than the other girls. I was also trying to incorporate a sash on her dress, but I don't think...

Opinions needed
OG Kristen in Planning, on March 23, 2015 at 11:27 AM

I know that there are a few ladies on here who have gotten married early due to a relative being sick. We just found out that my grandma was diagnosed with lung cancer and it may be stage 4. FH said...

So, our wedding colors are plum and orange. I have my BMs in plum and they will be carrying orange flowers. The GMs will have orange boutonnieres and originally we were thinking of having them in a...

blocking off hotel rooms
OG Kristen in Planning, on March 13, 2015 at 12:20 PM

How far in advance did you guys do this? I called one hotel and they usually say that they block off 15 rooms for weddings. I have a ton of OOT family and our wedding isn't exactly "in town" for...

BM Dresses Ordered!
OG Kristen in Style and Décor, on March 9, 2015 at 9:32 AM

We went shopping this weekend and all of my BMs ordered their dresses! Even my Jr BM in another state went out and got hers yesterday. I'm so relieved. Jr BM will also be in plum.

I'm so excited for this!!
OG Kristen in Style and Décor, on March 5, 2015 at 3:39 PM

We just ordered this canvas from Etsy to use instead of a guest book. I'm obsessed with it!

NWR: This is a dumb question but it's driving me crazy
OG Kristen in Style and Décor, on March 5, 2015 at 4:38 PM

I've never been able to find where it shows how many comments I have. Haha, so stupid. But can someone just tell me so I can stop looking for it like a crazy person?

DIY Invites
OG Kristen in Do It Yourself, on March 4, 2015 at 11:47 AM

So, I'm not very DIY savvy but my friend has agreed to help me DIY our invitations. We fell in love with an invite that we saw on Etsy, but they're custom hand made and are incredibly expensive. Does...

Entrance Songs
OG Kristen in Planning, on March 2, 2015 at 11:51 AM

Post your B&G reception entrance songs! I went to my friend's wedding on Friday night and they came in to a remix of Marry You by Bruno Mars. I absolutely LOVED it, but can't just steal it haha. Give...

How many are in your bridal party?
OG Kristen in Planning, on February 23, 2015 at 12:08 PM

I feel like we had a thread like this a while ago, but we have some new faces around here. So, I'm just curious how many people are in your bridal party? I feel like ours is on the smaller side, but...

Name Changing
OG Kristen in Honeymoon, on February 16, 2015 at 10:43 AM

So, FH and I are honeymooning in Barbados and will obviously be needing a passport (which I already have). Should I wait to change my name until after we get back so there are no issues at customs?

FH Seeing Your Dress
OG Kristen in Planning, on February 19, 2015 at 10:13 AM

I know that everyone has different views on this, so I'm just curious. Has your FH seen your dress? Did he help you pick it out? Are you doing your photos before or after the ceremony? I'm not HUGE on...
