My name is Rachel and I'm getting married in June 2022 in my favorite place on earth - Santa Cruz, CA! Our wedding is happening at the Dream Inn with a beach ceremony and the reception inside the hotel's ballroom. I never thought that I would get married and I still can't believe that it's happening sometimes. I am so excited and happy to be planning my dream wedding with my dream man!

Hi, Everyone - My fiancé and I have ran into another roadblock (once again, instigated by my MIL). Like I've said in previous posts, we anticipate having between 40-50 people attend our wedding. Much...
Are there any 2022 brides out there that are still mildly concerned about Covid still going on in 2022? I am usually a fairly positive and optimistic person but I will admit that in the midst of all...
Hi, Everyone - I just wanted to get some input on this topic. As some of you may know, my fiancé and I have decided to have a no-kid wedding. This is largely due to cost and because of the wedding...
The Hayley gown is the gown that I loved from the very beginning, even before I met my fiancé. There is just something about it - the color, the detailing, the intricate details... I LOVE this gown. I...
Hi, Everyone - I just need to vent, I wish wedding planning wouldn't be so stressful. Up to a few days ago, my fiancé and I had no issues and the wedding planning was smooth sailing. Unfortunately,...
Hi, Everyone - I have a really, really naive question about the alterations process. When do alterations typically take place? Do you start the process after you've tried on and ordered your gown and...
Hi, everyone - I’ve seen and heard more and more that wedding gowns with tulle skirts and tulle overlays have a higher chance of getting wrinkled. While I know that nothing can probably be done during...
Hi, ladies! I want to see photos of your engagement rings! I think, next to wedding dresses, engagement rings are so individualized and no two are ever alike. I’d like to hear the story behind your...

Ladies, For those of you who have found your dream wedding gown, what did you feel when you put it on for the first time? Were you emotional? Happy? Cry? Neutral? What were your initial thoughts?...
Thanks to everyone who chimed in on my wedding cake flavor ideas! I am happy to say that my fiance and I have narrowed them down. We are going to do a 3-tiered cake with: vanilla funfetti, red velvet,...
