For any of those other brides who suffer from severe anxiety, I wrote a blog post reflecting on the planning process from the perspective of a wife. I hope some of you find it helpful--and maybe even...

Are we over-reacting? Update!
Samantha in Etiquette and Advice, on August 14, 2016 at 11:44 AM

We had a wonderful wedding last Friday and the venue was stunning, but from a business perspective, my mom and I feel as though the organization on the part of the venue left something to be desired....

Hi Ladies! We're back from our out-of-this-world wedding under the stars at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. It was a night--a whole weekend--I will never forget. No professional photos yet,...

Passionfruit Curd?
Samantha in Planning, on July 27, 2016 at 2:06 PM

My fiancé and I are having a small cutting cake (with cupcakes and other desserts for the guests). Because we are getting married in a planetarium, we are having our baker dye the cake midnight blue...

Anyone have any good suggestions for where I can find some cute small gifts boxes? I have two bridesmaids' necklaces to wrap!

Does the Bride Need a Wedding Band?
Samantha in Wedding Attire, on June 4, 2016 at 7:08 PM

Hi Ladies, I have a pretty ornate engagement ring and was wondering if anyone else didn't get a wedding band--or now chooses to wear it on the right hand? Feel free to see photo reference: I feel like...

Finally Went for It: Yes to the Dress!
Samantha in Wedding Attire, on May 26, 2016 at 7:35 PM

I had been thinking about this dress I tried on at the Glamour Closet about 2 months ago and finally decided to buy it; there was a sale Now, just to sell the other one I had bought...

Advice on Dress Alterations
Samantha in Wedding Attire, on May 17, 2016 at 12:29 AM

I've posted about this dress before, because I'm not in love with the skirt; it feels a little dull. I was thinking that it would look pretty to have a seamstress gather it at some points, pinning it...

Off-the-Rack Concern
Samantha in Wedding Attire, on February 27, 2016 at 5:17 PM

Hi Ladies! I tried on my first dress today at a sample store in San Francisco. I only tried three, because the samples were, for the most part, out of my size range. The one pictured was a runway...

Dress Embellishments?
Samantha in Wedding Attire, on April 27, 2016 at 1:46 PM

Hi Ladies, I posted a few days ago about a dress I purchased under pressure. It's a Melissa Sweet and fits perfectly--other than the hem. I may continue looking (it was $500), but I was...

Wedding Dress Ambivalence
Samantha in Etiquette and Advice, on April 25, 2016 at 9:46 AM

Hi Ladies: My wedding is in August and I traveled to NYC to meet my mom for dress shopping this weekend (I live in SF). Because of the short duration, I felt a little rushed to pick something. I found...

Spin-Off: Alcohol Preference?
Samantha in Etiquette and Advice, on April 6, 2016 at 5:06 PM

Hi Everyone! We are starting to narrow down our catering selection and are considering two options for serving alcohol (priced equally). 1.) Signature Cocktail right after ceremony, with an open...

Alternative Philly Wedding Idea
Samantha in Planning, on March 22, 2016 at 7:10 PM

Hi ladies! Let me preface this by saying I have a severe anxiety disorder and have been second-guessing a larger, expensive wedding from the start--even though my mom is generously covering the cost....

NWR: Anyone Have a Remote Job?
Samantha in Community Conversations, on March 10, 2016 at 7:02 PM

Hi Ladies, I currently live in San Francisco and have a solid job as a website manager and designer, but I am beyond homesick and would love the autonomy remote work would afford me to travel home. Do...

Jazzing up this Dress?
Samantha in Wedding Attire, on March 7, 2016 at 10:44 AM

Hi Ladies: Tried on a couple more dresses yesterday and I did like this trumpet, but it's still a little bland for my liking. We're doing a celestial themed wedding in a planetarium, so I was thinking...

Conflicted about the Wedding
Samantha in Etiquette and Advice, on March 1, 2016 at 9:54 AM

Hi Ladies, Both my FH and I could sort of "take-or-leave" the whole wedding idea--not that we are against them, but we would prefer to save the money for a mortgage. That said, my mom really wants to...

Wedding Band to Match?
Samantha in Wedding Attire, on February 24, 2016 at 6:35 PM

My FH designed this himself, and I love it--although had hoped he'd go for something a little more low-key, like opal. That said, I'm going to purchase our wedding bands, and I'm not sure what to get...
