a Very Belated bam
Opalite in Planning, on March 31, 2018 at 12:06 PM

Well, we did it! Back on October 29, 2017. I got my photos done by Coli Michael Photography and they were AMAING. They even had our photos ready by the end of November--I just slacked off on posting...

In need of a major pep talk
Opalite in Etiquette and Advice, on October 27, 2017 at 7:33 AM

I turned 30 yesterday and it wasn't a super great day. I had work and then was in a meeting until 5:30. I did get to celebrate with FH at his parents house but I checked the weather and saw that it's...

Hair That Won't Curl
Opalite in Wedding Attire, on October 14, 2017 at 8:25 AM

I have a lifelong friend who is a professional MUA and hair artist. She will be doing my hair & makeup for the big day (with a contract of course). I am so happy that she is doing it, because she...

Need Nail Inspiration
Opalite in Wedding Attire, on October 12, 2017 at 9:27 PM

I'm stuck between the faded French manicure trend or going with my wedding colors--burgundy with gold tips. Do most salons know how to do the faded French manicure? I haven't gotten my nails done in...

DIY Programs?
Opalite in Do It Yourself, on October 8, 2017 at 5:43 PM

Did anyone DIY their programs that wouldn't mind sharing what template/method you used? I'm slowly burning out over here and realized I haven't made programs. I know they're very unnecessary but I...

Alterations Progress
Opalite in Wedding Attire, on September 14, 2017 at 9:23 PM

I just had my second alterations appointment, and while it is costing me an arm and a leg, I am realizing that it is very worth it. My seamstress is paying attention to every tiny detail. I lost 20...

Glittery Shoe PSA
Opalite in Wedding Attire, on September 2, 2017 at 12:45 PM

I went to my first fitting a couple of weeks ago and was told I would have to buy a new pair of shoes, because the glittery bow on mine were catching the lace on the hem of my dress and would end up...

Alterations...Uh Oh.
Opalite in Wedding Attire, on August 25, 2017 at 12:36 AM

I was just quoted $800 for my dress alterations. I unfortunately don't have a picture, but it is a sheath Maggie Sottero with a fairly intricate lace and beaded overlay. There is another layer...

Taking Home Centerpieces
Opalite in Etiquette and Advice, on August 13, 2017 at 4:32 PM

My venue is very DIY, and anything that we bring in has to be out by the end of the night. I have an awesome DOC to help with this, but thought it might quicken the pace of the cleanup if I ask guests...

Bouquet & Boutonnier
Opalite in Do It Yourself, on August 12, 2017 at 8:40 AM

I finished my bouquet and need feedback! The only thing I'm unsure of are the pieces of grass sticking out. Thoughts? Also tried my hand at the boutonnieres and am very happy with how it turned out!...

Placemats--DIY or Skip?
Opalite in Do It Yourself, on July 25, 2017 at 8:37 AM

I'm a crafty person. I like to sew, crochet, and cross stitch. I recently got the idea in my head that we will need placemats on the tables, so I started looking into making burlap and lace placemats...

Swelling Fingers?
Opalite in Fitness and Health, on April 2, 2017 at 7:03 PM

I was wondering if anyone else here has an issue with fingers that seem to swell with the phases of the moon. I kid, but today was the first warm day we've had in Massachusetts in quite a while, and...

Orange Theory Tips/Advice
Opalite in Fitness and Health, on March 5, 2017 at 11:20 AM

I've seen many people on WW sing the praises of Orange Theory, so I went ahead and gave the free class a try. I really enjoyed it and it was exactly what I needed, since I'd had my very first panic...

Anyone else in the New England area have a snow day tomorrow?! I'm in Massachusetts and am just so looking forward to sleeping in and drinking hot cocoa. Also, wine.
