*sayre_ah* in Planning, on March 12, 2018 at 6:45 PM

I never would have thought to go to Wegmans for flowers but someone recently recommended it. We would be using the Fairfax, VA location. Does anyone have pictures of the flowers that they got through...

*sayre_ah* in Planning, on July 30, 2018 at 6:59 PM

I love the idea of getting Swell Forever Blankets for our moms (they are blankets with completely customizable tags) but they are so expensive. Does anyone know any other company that makes something...

Photographer help in Northern Virginia!
*sayre_ah* in Virginia Planning, on November 9, 2017 at 3:39 PM

I can't find a photographer that I like that's not outrageous! Looking to stay below or around 4,000 but everyone I look at seems oversaturated or too muted for my taste. I'm having a hard time...

Would people want to buy yards of sheer fabric?
*sayre_ah* in Do It Yourself, on September 24, 2018 at 9:01 PM

I'm debating buying many yards of sheer fabric (voile, similar to chiffon) to decorate the sides of our wedding tent. I'm trying to rationalize the purchase by selling the fabric when I'm done. Do you...

*sayre_ah* in Wedding Reception, on September 23, 2018 at 6:31 PM

Hello! We're hanging about 10 lanterns from the trees outside our wedding tent. Venue said I have to use flameless candles, not real. Because they're going to be used when it's completely dark out and...

My moh gave me Tiffany's jewelry when i was her moh - what do i get her?
*sayre_ah* in Etiquette and Advice, on September 10, 2018 at 11:35 AM

I'd like to get her something on the same level but I'm drawing a blank. At this point I might just get her something Tiffany's too. I'd prefer to be more original though. Ideas?

Help! Dress alterations fail!
*sayre_ah* in Wedding Attire, on August 31, 2018 at 11:14 AM

I’m freaking out. I got my dress and all I can see is the built in corset (that came with the dress) and where it ends. It looks like I have a big pooch and I don’t. The seamstress says she doesn’t...

How to cover this eyesore?!
*sayre_ah* in Planning, on August 13, 2018 at 9:46 PM

It's front and center as everyone would walk down the stairs/the aisle. It's drainage for the terrace above. I know most people wouldn't care but it drives me nuts because it's front and center. The...

What fabric is this?
*sayre_ah* in Wedding Reception, on August 8, 2018 at 9:53 AM

I've been driving myself crazy trying to figure out which fabric I should get for our wedding arch (2 photos) and which to get for the tent swags? I think they're different kinds. Any ideas?

One of the signature drinks will be a Dark & Stormy (might change the name to something funny instead - any ideas would be great)! Real question is - what's the best recipe to make for a wedding?...

Girl dog with a bow tie?
*sayre_ah* in Wedding Attire, on May 9, 2018 at 10:02 PM

This is a weird question but my dog is going to be in my wedding as the ring bearer but she is a female dog. I like the bow ties but I didn't know if this was thought to be a boy dog thing only. I...
