I have to say that was a lot more fun than expected. Initially I wasn't going to do them, because of the additional expense and because I generally don't like getting my picture taken. I felt like we...

For the love of hair
OregonGirl in Wedding Attire, on July 5, 2016 at 7:04 PM

So my bridesmaids all wanted to get their hair done (their idea not mine) so I booked a wedding hair place in advance. I did my trial and I did like the hair, but in the interim I found a stylist I...

My friends broke up.
OregonGirl in Etiquette and Advice, on June 27, 2016 at 11:32 PM

So I had a male friend for five years or so (totally platonic- he was in my running group). I became close friends with the woman he dated for a couple years and she's in the wedding party. He moved...

Rings!
OregonGirl in Planning, on June 15, 2016 at 9:46 AM

Anyone buy their rings online? Seems less expensive that way and we just want something simple.

Wedding planner
OregonGirl in Planning, on June 15, 2016 at 9:54 AM

I fired my first wedding planner (who gets 5 stars on here) after she didn't respond to emails, cancelled a venue walk through last minute and then no-showed the rescheduled one. She also missed a...

OregonGirl in Wedding Attire, on June 14, 2016 at 9:54 AM

A couple photos from my hair trial. The make up was off by this point and I will probably do my own. I was thinking of buying a cute clip for the part that is pulled back on the side. It will be maybe...
