Rehearsal dinner guest list...
Shannon Giraffes. in Etiquette and Advice, on December 5, 2013 at 2:42 PM

Who all is included in the rehearsal dinner? To my understanding, it should include everyone in the wedding party, and any immediate family members that are walked up the aisle and escorted to their...

My bridal shower was way more fun than I expected!
Shannon Giraffes. in Style and Décor, on December 3, 2013 at 12:27 AM

Two of FH's aunts hosted my bridal shower this past weekend. I had way more fun than I was expecting!! We played a game, I chose teams and they all had to dress the "bride" up in a beautiful dress,...

Makeup.
Shannon Giraffes. in Wedding Attire, on December 2, 2013 at 8:03 PM

Unfortunately I don't have a picture to share with you all, but I went and had my makeup done at Sephora yesterday. I wanted to do a trial run, just to see if the products they use there would really...

Etiquette schmetiquette!
Shannon Giraffes. in Wedding Attire, on November 26, 2013 at 10:41 PM

I've made some decisions that I feel don't follow proper "wedding etiquette" guidlines. And the funny thing is? I don't even feel bad (at least not for most of them) I did not block off any hotels for...

Wishing I hadn't bought stuff in the heat of the moment...
Shannon Giraffes. in Wedding Attire, on November 27, 2013 at 1:11 PM

I started out trying to find the cheapest dress that didn't make me look like a cow. Then my mom informed me that she would be paying for it. It just so happens that the one I fell in love with, was...

Who makes the decisions?
Shannon Giraffes. in Wedding Attire, on November 27, 2013 at 12:46 AM

Do you and your FH decide everything together? Do you do most of the planning? Does he? Or have you divided up who gets to be in charge of certain things (flowers, cake, attire, etc...) I think for...

Coverup for bridesmaids dress?
Shannon Giraffes. in Wedding Attire, on November 24, 2013 at 9:55 PM

My girls are going to need some sort of coverup (pashmina, scarf, wrap, maybe even a cardigan or bolero?). The dress is strappy and one of the girls REALLY doesn't like her arms, so we want to cover...

KWR-Friend/officiant passed away :\
Shannon Giraffes. in Etiquette and Advice, on November 24, 2013 at 1:24 PM

FH and I had asked an old family friend to officiate our wedding. We knew each other since we were in middle school (same group of friends). And this man was like a second father to everyone. In fact,...

Entrance songs?
Shannon Giraffes. in Etiquette and Advice, on November 20, 2013 at 10:40 PM

I need help with our entrance songs. Ideally, I would actually like to have the same song for the bridal party and myself entering. Maybe I would enter at a key or tempo change, or the DJ could just...

What to wear under for Plus Size Brides? (or just bust-y gals in general)
Shannon Giraffes. in Wedding Attire, on November 15, 2013 at 4:03 PM

(this is my first post...I do hope I am doing it right) According to my dress I am a size 22 (though I typically wear an 18). However, my bra size is 44DDD and I have the hardest time finding anything...
