Lesser of two evils? Tanning bed vs. spray tan
Princess Consuela in Wedding Attire, on October 8, 2015 at 10:55 AM

I know, I know, tanning beds are awful. Especially considering I had a recent biopsy on a funny looking freckle on my ear, and my mom has had skin cancer. But hear me out! I went tanning in high...

SO emotional!
Princess Consuela in Etiquette and Advice, on October 14, 2015 at 1:35 PM

Does anyone else feel super emotional close to their wedding day? I feel like literally everything wedding related makes me tear up. I just heard from our friend that he would be honored to do a...

Readers, help!
Princess Consuela in Etiquette and Advice, on October 14, 2015 at 9:02 AM

We are under a month to go, and I still can't decide on a reader from my side. We'd like to have one from mine and FH's side (two readings), but there doesn't seem to be anyone appropriate from my...

Hair trial today! Pics!
Princess Consuela in Wedding Attire, on October 11, 2015 at 3:44 PM

I can't believe how fast things are starting to happen! Had my hair trial today and left feeling like Princess Leia with a cinnamon bun on the side of my head. I definitely want it lower (under my...

Where do you buy dresses?
Princess Consuela in Wedding Attire, on October 9, 2015 at 11:33 AM

I can't for the life of me find a dress I like for my bachelorette party. I've looked at Revolve, Nordstrom, Express, Black House White Market, JCrew, and Forever 21. It's a weekend in Chicago, and I...

So I went to a wedding at my venue this weekend...
Princess Consuela in Planning, on October 5, 2015 at 8:32 AM

It got off to a rough start. The weather was AWFUL - cold, rainy, windy, and the ceremony was outside. It was too windy to put a tent up, so we had to stand in the rain with umbrellas. It was supposed...

Hardest decision so far - help me pick a veil!
Princess Consuela in Wedding Attire, on September 30, 2015 at 10:31 AM

I was initially set on a birdcage veil, with inspiration (first pic) below. I picked my dress keeping in mind that it needed to go with a birdcage. Lately though, I've been totally second guessing...

Quick alterations question!
Princess Consuela in Wedding Attire, on September 25, 2015 at 3:30 PM

My first alterations appointment is tomorrow, woohoo! She told me to bring my shoes and "undergarments." But I don't have any undergarments yet. Is this a big deal? I mean, how much can my...

Spinoff - How has your self-care/beauty regimen changed?
Princess Consuela in Wedding Attire, on September 23, 2015 at 11:19 AM

51 days go to and my routine has gotten significantly more complicated (or maybe I'm getting old...). I used to take a shower, put lotion on, dry my hair, put a touch of eyeliner and mascara on, and...

What's on the radar this weekend?!
Princess Consuela in Community Conversations, on September 18, 2015 at 11:11 AM

I know there are a lot of WW weddings this weekend! So excited for everyone. My shower is on Sunday! I can't wait! It's huge (50 people), and I'm so nervous of everyone getting bored while I open...

Tell me I'm not the worst
Princess Consuela in Etiquette and Advice, on September 16, 2015 at 5:54 PM

Weve started getting RSVPs back, hooray! 22 so far. Out of those, I realized I spelled two people's names wrong. I swear I double checked all of them against Facebook if possible! You may also...

Bridal shower host thank you
Princess Consuela in Planning, on September 15, 2015 at 10:08 AM

My shower is this weekend (WAT)!!! I almost forgot about hostess gifts! My FMIL and one MOH have organized everything, but my mom and other MOH have contributed financially. I planned to get them all...

NWR: Do you work out when you're sick?
Princess Consuela in Community Conversations, on September 14, 2015 at 9:50 AM

I definitely got a cold this weekend from tailgating in the cold, damp weather for eight hours. I don't have a lot going on this week, so I planned to get some serious exercise in, especially because...

Couples who didn't live/aren't living together before marriage
Princess Consuela in Community Conversations, on September 10, 2015 at 10:33 AM

Logistically speaking, how are you doing it? FH and I have been looking at apartments and I think we found one last night! Still nailing out the details, but I'm hoping to start a lease in October....

Obligatory "And so it begins..." post
Princess Consuela in Etiquette and Advice, on September 11, 2015 at 9:46 AM

Well, it's been 72 hours since we sent invitations and already two separate couples have asked if they can bring their kids. Are your children named on the invitation? No. Does it say "2 seats are...

This. Is. Happening. UPDATE on page 2!
Princess Consuela in Planning, on September 8, 2015 at 10:07 AM

I dropped invitations off at the post office this morning! I am so excited/anxious! What if the guy lied and the postage I used isn't enough? What if the calligraphy we did is somehow not allowed and...

Help! My first DIY - bouquets!
Princess Consuela in Do It Yourself, on September 9, 2015 at 2:38 PM

FMIL, FSIL, and I plan to start putting together mine and the BMs' bouquets this weekend. Google tells me I need wire cutter, wire, floral wrap/tape, and maybe a bouquet collar. I also plan to go buy...

Princess Consuela in Community Conversations, on September 3, 2015 at 10:25 AM

Yep, I'm aware that it's barely ten o'clock but COLLEGE FOOTBALL STARTS TODAY Y'ALL! My beloved Wolverines are playing, so I'm getting down tonight. Probably beer and Jell-O shots. What's on the...

What has been your biggest unexpected PITA?
Princess Consuela in Planning, on September 1, 2015 at 10:09 AM

Invitations = Pain In The Ass. I initially thought I'd just have to shove about 100 of those suckers in the envelopes and slap an address sticker on them. About 15 hours later, I realize I was an...
