My wonderful aunts typically host a shower for my family's brides (making my mother the host for some of my cousins in the past). I moved far away a few years ago, so they're not sure whether to offer...

In searching for info on DIYing tall centerpieces, I ran across a thread with this topic on another forum. Seems like a great way to talk through real-life experience of different ideas. So, what did...

My fiance is considering taking a second job over the summer to cover our honeymoon - which we've already got covered, as long as we don't go way over budget. I've already picked up extra work I can...

Ugh - I went looking for photos of other weddings at my venue, and found a fantastic local photographer that....yeah, I like better than the one I hired. I saw her WW profile but the photos in it...

I heard so many great stories about the evolution of your wedding planning ideas on the How Long thread. I'm starting to visit dress salons, and thinking my beloved A-line/sheath plan may fall apart....

My fiance and I get along pretty well, but there are two related areas where we have consistent conflicts: what kind of food to eat, and how much we spend on it. It's gotten worse since we moved in...

I'm starting to look at BM dress options for my date. Problem is, it could be 70 and sunny, 65 with a cutting wind, or 45 and rainy. November in Oklahoma runs the gamut. I don't want my bridesmaids to...

I'm looking at using this kit for our DIY invitations, but I'm not sure what the quality of the paper/cardstock is. Has anybody used this or another DB kit? What was the quality like?...

I'm trying to stay better-hydrated and moisturized. I'm drinking a lot more water, and experimenting with more gentle and moisturizing cleanser (oil-based) and just tried sheet masks. Had my doubts...

My most anxious moments are ones like these, waiting for a favorite vendor to confirm and send paperwork so I can lock them in. After careful research, we picked a DJ and I was all excited to book...

Up until now, every vendor I've booked has had an initial free meeting/consult. The photographer and I did coffee - the venue did a site visit - even the DJ company had me in for a meeting first. But...

My top 2 MUA choices (great WW reviews, love their portfolios) are also the only 2 I've found in my area that charge to do a trial, separate from the cost on the wedding day! When I was budgeting, I...

My fiance is an atheist and I'm agnostic. We're trying to find an officiant who can craft a lovely secular ceremony and perform it with a sense of solemnity and gravitas, without religious readings or...
