Advice - reconciling different wedding styles/ideas
Private_User804 in Planning, on March 22, 2016 at 3:13 PM

I was bouncing around another wedding site (I'm so addicted...) and read a post that got me thinking. I thought we'd keep things inexpensive and have a chill barn wedding with twinkly lights, photos...

Calling Sottero & Midgely brides with Viera - Hey Jersey Jen and Jennifer!
Private_User804 in Wedding Attire, on March 6, 2016 at 2:37 PM

Hey girls! Quick version: how does Viera (in the correct size for you) fall on you? Is it tight across the hips/lower stomach, or does it fall from the waist? Longer version: I've only been able to...

Hey brides - blast from the past here. I was just on Modcloth, which is one of the go-to sites for inexpensive white dresses. And they're having a huge sale - a lot of their tea-length wedding dresses...

Private_User804 in Community Conversations, on November 7, 2016 at 8:48 AM

We had a goooorgeous country-club wedding on Saturday. The weather couldn't have been more perfect (70 and sunny), the venue was to-die-for gorgeous, the food was amazing, and we were surrounded by...

Advice needed - Calling Centerpiece! Flowers for BM bouquets
Private_User804 in Do It Yourself, on October 14, 2016 at 8:09 PM

Quick version - to add pops of darker color to a medium-size pastel bouquet (15-18 blooms), is it ok to use small blooms like spray roses or mini carnations? Or will they be lost/insufficient among...

November 2016 brides check in!
Private_User804 in Planning, on October 11, 2016 at 6:23 PM

Less than a month to go for many of us now! Are you going crazy with last-minute logistics, or in the lull before the storm? Things calmed down a lot for us once we weathered the RSVP deadline 2 weeks...

Rant - So slow getting menu pricing from my venue! (UPDATED)
Private_User804 in Planning, on October 1, 2016 at 1:08 PM

After 3 emails on menu pricing with no response, I was about to call my venue director when she replied. Their internet has been down a lot this week, so she's backed up on ordering/pricing things....

Rant: waiting for RSVP deadline to pass is awful!
Private_User804 in Planning, on September 29, 2016 at 9:26 PM

I've only got about 55% of our RSVPs back (90 of the 170 we invited). There are 2 days left to the RSVP deadline, and my venue is already bugging me for numbers (they're not due for another week or...

PSA - Beware the VRBO or airbnb honeymoon! [rant]
Private_User804 in Honeymoon, on September 7, 2016 at 9:23 AM

For brides planning their honeymoons, be VERY careful booking with house-sharing websites. I've used them before and it's been fine, but have had such problems with our honeymoon planning! We booked...

FH is 'meh' on picking a wedding band ([rant]
Private_User804 in Wedding Attire, on August 27, 2016 at 4:10 PM

FH put a ton of thought and creativity into designing my e-ring, and I love it. It means a lot to both of us. He was excited about picking a matching set of wedding bands, but wanted free hand to pick...

Advice needed - ordering veil without trying on style?
Private_User804 in Wedding Attire, on August 22, 2016 at 11:32 AM

I've been obsessed with photos of drop veils (the sheerest kind of veil with blusher). But none of the salons in my area have any for me to try on, or even mantillas that I can use to fake a drop...

Private_User804 in Wedding Attire, on August 8, 2016 at 10:18 AM

I had the MOST beautiful pair of wedding heels picked out...but when I picked my dress up, the heels were too high for the hem length. Now I'm having SUCH trouble finding closed-toe wedding heels in a...

Private_User804 in Etiquette and Advice, on July 16, 2016 at 12:54 PM

I was planning to have my sister/MOH give a toast at the rehearsal dinner, and my Dad at the wedding (they're paying/hosting) along with the BM. Fiance would rather we stick to MOH and BM toasts only....

Estimated cost for RD?
Private_User804 in Planning, on May 16, 2016 at 12:06 PM

It's becoming clear that fiance's family aren't interested/able to help out with the wedding. Which is fine, I'd rather know earlier than later! But that leaves us on the hook for the RD, which has...

Advice needed - did you use/remake family rings?
Private_User804 in Do It Yourself, on April 25, 2016 at 5:41 PM

My family have generously offered me family rings to use as our wedding bands, with the intention of saving us money. We were so happy to accept, and I love the sentimental boost of wearing heirloom...

RSVP awkwardness...from the other side
Private_User804 in Planning, on April 22, 2016 at 1:05 PM

A quick PSA to all of you getting awkward questions about your invites: sometimes it's a GOOD thing guests are double-checking your work. I had to be that person last week. My best friend sent invites...

I'm not even sure what happened this evening, but we went from talking about adapting family rings to use as wedding bands, to fiance informing me he had planned to choose my wedding band, to him...

If FOB speaks, must FOG get a speech too?
Private_User804 in Etiquette and Advice, on April 12, 2016 at 1:26 PM

Fiance and I are having a serious disagreement over who we want to give speeches at the reception. In my family weddings, it's a mixture of parents and siblings speaking at the RD and reception. My...

NWR Vent: Holiday clash! Fiance hates them, I love them - what to do?
Private_User804 in Etiquette and Advice, on March 27, 2016 at 5:10 PM

I grew up in a big, warm family that got together every major holiday for a big meal and other family traditions. I still love flying home for them when I can (we live far from my family, near his)....
