Day of emergency kit
Shannon in Planning, on October 6, 2019 at 2:12 PM

Hello all!! I’m 13 days away (ahhh!) and I’m just wondering, what are some day of emergency essentials? Like things to remember to bring. Safety pins, bra tape, etc.

Photo guestbook
Shannon in Planning, on June 11, 2019 at 5:41 PM

For those of you that have had/are having a Polaroid guestbook, how did you manage the reloading of film, instructions, etc? We are using the Instax Mini and I’m not really sure how to go about it so...

rsvp date?
Shannon in Planning, on June 9, 2019 at 9:09 AM

So my caterer needs a final head count at least 7 days before my event. The hotel block I reserved only allows reservations until a month before. When should I set my RSVP date for? I originally had...

How long did it take for your dress to come in?
Shannon in Wedding Attire, on May 24, 2019 at 8:02 PM

My wedding is October 19th and I ordered my gown in January. It’s a Watters gown. I’m guessing it takes about 6 months but I’m starting to just get a little nervous. I plan on calling the boutique...

Shuttle bus
Shannon in Planning, on January 21, 2019 at 6:30 PM

I was planning on renting a shuttle bus for the day for guests to use from the hotel to the venue. Parking is somewhat limited and I will be having a lot of out of town guests so I thought this would...

Am i the only one feeling this way?
Shannon in Family and Relationships, on April 11, 2019 at 9:37 PM

I feel like the closer it gets to our wedding, the more annoyed I am with my FH. He won’t even be doing anything wrong but I just get so irritated with just him being there. We both work tolling...

Airbrush makeup
Shannon in Hair and Makeup, on April 16, 2019 at 1:39 PM

How long does airbrush makeup normally last? As of now my MUA has us scheduled for 8:30am but my ceremony won’t start until 4 or 5pm. She has two other brides booked that day hence the early...

So I definitely plan on adding straps to my dress and ordered material to do so. Now I was thinking maybe I could do a keyhole back too. Anybody have any idea how much material might be needed? I...

Weight loss and alterations
Shannon in Wedding Attire, on February 23, 2019 at 10:12 PM

I’m working on losing weight and I’m afraid I will lose too much by the time my dress comes in. I really don’t want to find another dress because I love it but I also don’t want to spend an arm and a...

Wireless microphone
Shannon in Wedding Ceremony, on January 31, 2019 at 5:44 PM

Do you guys think handheld wireless microphones ruin pictures? Our DJ provides handheld microphones for the ceremony but I’m worried they will look clunky and weird during ceremony pictures. My...
