I'm torn between a greenery and off-white bouquet, or one that mixes in some/lots of bold color and pastels. My dress will be ivory lace with a vintage-y feel over light gold, so I'm leaning away from...
When I ordered my dress, the salon owner pointed out that a drop veil (which I prefer right now) could be awkward on the day. I want it to drape flat over the head, pinned into a low updo. The salon...
The questions about matching a gold/ivory dress to the groomsmens' shirts got me thinking: I've got a dress that's ivory lace over gold. And I'd been planning to drape our ceremony arch in tulle....
In a previous thread, several posters claimed that even if a woman chose to keep her name after marriage, the only "proper" way to address the couple in formal correspondence was still Mr and Mrs...
I had my first awkward name exchange the other day - the really nice lady who runs the bridal salon was filling out my info. Name? "Emily G." And what will your married name be? "G." (cue...
I've been looking at different veil options, and want to order mine on Etsy to save $$. I want a drop veil, very sheer with great drape, maybe narrow lace or bling edging. I'm going back...
We're RSVPing to my fiance's cousin's wedding, and are so confused. She indicated in conversation she was inviting us both, and there's space on the invite to write in how many people are coming (i.e....
A lot of the long BM dresses seem to be on clearance now, I'm assuming leftover from last fall. Anyone know when the new crop of fall BM dresses will come in?
Hey all! I've seen a bunch of these for spring/summer and early fall brides. But what I'd really love is to commiserate over the challenges of a November wedding. Has anyone else gotten annoyed that...
Reading through the shot list thread, it occurred to me that I really haven't given much thought to poses/composition that I really like. I have Pinterest boards for inspiration for dresses, hair,...
Is anybody wearing a slim A-line or drop-waist A-line and wearing a petticoat underneath? What does your dress look like with and without it?
After soooo many weeks of agonizing and lots of salon visits, I finally have a dress! Huge special thanks to Jersey Jen and thanks to Jennifer too! This is the dress we loved at my first salon visit,...
I've been starting at photos of my top 3 and near-contenders for hours and still can't decide on a dress! Little things that I don't like about each dress have suddenly become hugely important (is the...
The "best" salon in my city has been there for several decades and is large and successful. It has hundreds of rave reviews. But when I talked to them about ordering a dress, they told me it would be...
Dress 1 is the Sottero Viera sheath, which I tried on in a too-small size 3 weeks ago. Dress 2 is a Justin Alexander A-line that I tried on today. In each case, the people who were with me preferred...
My venue just announced their annual wedding show where their preferred vendors are all showcased. Of COURSE it's the only weekend I have to be out of town for business! So my fiance is manning up and...
I've been to 3 salons now, each the largest in their city, and NONE of them have had samples of the 12-15 dresses I want to try. Even when I call ahead, they don't offer to get them in, just claim...
Hey all! We're about to set up our wedding website, and having a tough time choosing. They all seem pretty similar to me, but it's hard to judge functionality while browsing. We're looking for a...
Hey all my date twins and near-twins! What've you been up to this month? I've been surprised how laid-back this month has been (yet somehow I'm still addicted to this forum. Such a time-suck!). Almost...
We're looking for ideas for a December honeymoon. We already ruled out anywhere outside the continental US (too pricey), beachy places (Not our thing. Plus, Zika) and camping (too cold). We're leaning...
