"I'm getting married" = Ka-ching!
Shellycherea in Planning, on December 15, 2017 at 1:43 PM

What are you doing right now?
Shellycherea in Planning, on November 25, 2017 at 6:15 PM

Hi Brides! I'm kind of taking a break from wedding planning until the new year. Apparently I'm annoying FH too soon. So for now, I'm just editing our website which will launch as soon as we send out...

Is 3 too much?
Shellycherea in Wedding Attire, on November 30, 2017 at 1:19 PM

I'm starting to book my bridal appointments and I was wondering if scheduling 3 in one day is insane. I was thinking that it would be fun to knock them all out in a day. Maybe even get lunch with Mom...

Isn't it the BEST feeling when FH shows the slightest interest in the wedding planning? It's hard to get mine to budge on anything but today he suggested a song for our first dance. WHAT!!! He must...

Does anyone have any experience with this site? As far as I can see, their reviews are pretty solid but I would like more feedback in regard to the quality of the dresses. Also, what's the return...

Shopping for a Dress Anxiety
Shellycherea in Planning, on November 22, 2017 at 10:26 AM

Okay, hopefully I'm not the only one that feels this way but I'm extremely anxious about scheduling an appointment at a bridal salon. I want to go when I feel like my body is where I want it. And in...

Our Engagement Pics Are In!
Shellycherea in Planning, on November 22, 2017 at 9:52 AM

You wouldn't know from the photos, but it was below 30 degrees this day. Of course I got the flu but it was all worth it. Hands down, our photographer is one of best choices we made for this process....

Day-Of Coordinator?
Shellycherea in Planning, on November 12, 2017 at 7:27 PM

What's a reasonable price for a day-of coordinator? I'm trying to determine if it's worth it or should I just employ a family member to setup and monitor the flow of the evening. Feel free to share...
