So I've started reaching out to makeup artists for estimates (Long Island area) and I'm hearing lowest $175-200 for bridal, and $100-125 for bridal party (per person) not including...

Invitations are (corrected) and here! Yay!
Shannon in Community Conversations, on February 23, 2017 at 7:19 PM

So I posted a little meltdown a week or two ago when I received my invites printed in the wrong color, Magnet Street was awesome about correcting it and reprinting the batch at no charge. Now they're...

So I've heard a few times on here about that moment when it hits you that you're getting married....pretty sure I just had that! Our officiant just emailed me our ceremony script, I was reading it at...

Emotions running wild - anyone else?
Shannon in Etiquette and Advice, on February 19, 2017 at 3:40 PM

So...I'm posting this in hopes that I'm not alone on this one, but has wedding planning/date approaching started to make any of you feel extremely emotional? Maybe it's stress and nerves too, but I'll...

Giving FH some credit - he planned something!
Shannon in Planning, on February 15, 2017 at 4:14 PM

So a few weeks ago I posted a rant about all of the wedding planning falling on me with very little aid or input from FH - well he's been getting better and last night I asked him to contact the place...

Shannon in Planning, on February 13, 2017 at 8:27 PM

So....I was all excited to come home to my invitations, delivered in a very pretty elaborate box, only to open it and find invitations printed in the wrong fucking color. So ensues a full blown bride...

Sewn in cups - will it be enough?
Shannon in Wedding Attire, on February 11, 2017 at 2:52 PM

Let's talk boobs... So I'm a 34B at best (TMI), and while I love my sweetheart neckline it does just about nothing for the girls. I had a strapless bra on to try on my dress when it came in, but I had...

Which shoes? Help me decide!
Shannon in Wedding Attire, on February 12, 2017 at 4:24 PM

Sooooo, I don't want to wear heels and am going with a pair of nice flat sandals for my big day- I just can't seem to decide between these three. Thoughts? I'm partial to #3 but am concerned about the...

Rehearsal dinner - tacky?
Shannon in Etiquette and Advice, on February 10, 2017 at 10:44 AM

So, we're getting (dangerously) close to going over budget and I'm trying to think of how to make the RD be inexpensive. Would an RD at a pizza place be tacky or come off cheap? I think it might be...

Wedding favors...could this DYI idea work?
Shannon in Do It Yourself, on February 8, 2017 at 8:57 PM

So this idea is a little out there but maybe it could work... FH's last name is (and my last name will become) Milano - I've been on the fence about wedding favors but he really wants to have them so...

Hair stylist rates - reasonable?
Shannon in Wedding Attire, on February 5, 2017 at 5:40 PM

Sooooo I know I asked about MUA rates on here before, but now that I've gotten that all booked I'm looking into hair. I'm being told $250 for bridal hair ($100 for trial), and...
