When should I look at cakes?
Silverlava in Planning, on November 13, 2016 at 3:59 PM

According to the WW checklist, I shouldnt start looking until March. However, I've seen lots of people with dates later than mine say they are going to cake tastings. I don't want to struggle to find...

Silverlava in Style and Décor, on November 8, 2016 at 2:52 PM

I'm meeting with a florist tonight--are there any questions I should be sure to ask? I have a list, but I'm sure I'm missing some things. What should I be sure to ask? How fo you pick what florist is...

Centerpieces Ettiquette
Silverlava in Etiquette and Advice, on November 6, 2016 at 3:55 PM

Do guests typically take the centerpieces home? My parents say yes, but that sounds odd to me.

Silverlava in Community Conversations, on November 1, 2016 at 5:01 PM

What stands out as your favorite part of a wedding? Your close friendship with the B&G? The awesome band? The pinterest-worthy decor? Thought itd be fun to talk about favorite things instead of...

Probably not worth it buuuut....
Silverlava in Do It Yourself, on November 5, 2016 at 3:02 PM

Too late to turn back now! Pictured are about 215 succulents, with 90 more still germinating (and thus, not yet planted). If you're thinking about growing succulents for your wedding, let me just say...

Reception Sendoff ideas?
Silverlava in Etiquette and Advice, on October 24, 2016 at 2:21 AM

I've always wanted sparklers, but Massachusetts has some of the strictest fireworks laws of all the places I've ever lived. Any other ideas? Reception is supposed to end at 10pm, so it will be dark...

Difference between being on a budget and cheap?
Silverlava in Etiquette and Advice, on November 1, 2016 at 2:00 PM

So I draw for money as a hobby, and in that line of work, you meet lots of other artsy types. One such person I met is a photographer who does weddings. He complained that people don't want to pay him...

Bridesmaid bouquet trial!!
Silverlava in Do It Yourself, on October 30, 2016 at 1:34 AM

Forgot the wire, so I couldn't separate the waxflower stems as much as I would have liked, but I love them! Whipped up 2 for $30 in about an hour.

Wedding shoes?
Silverlava in Wedding Attire, on October 27, 2016 at 1:28 PM

So, I'm not a country girl and cowboy boots aren't an option. I'm also not crazy about converse shoes, since the venue is pretty classy. But I don't want to be dancing all night in heels! I love...

Dessert choices?
Silverlava in Etiquette and Advice, on October 26, 2016 at 8:04 PM

What do you think? Tiered wedding cake? Or just a fancy cake for pictures, then a sheet cake for eating? Or go in a different direction and do a dessert bar?

How much did your alterations cost?
Silverlava in Wedding Attire, on October 25, 2016 at 11:27 PM

What did your alterations cost, and how intensive were they? I'm planning on taking the dress in maybe 6 sizes or so, but I have no clue what to budget for that. $100? $500?...

Should I stretch the budget?
Silverlava in Etiquette and Advice, on October 25, 2016 at 11:01 AM

I found this band I really love, but it is out of our original budget. After working some additional finances, my fiance and I agreed we could afford them. However, I am worried additional costs will...

Getting cold feet...
Silverlava in Etiquette and Advice, on October 24, 2016 at 3:34 PM

...about my vendors. I research them, settle on the one I LOVE, then when time comes to sign the contract, I begin doubting. Like, what if I kept looking and found a better one for cheaper? But I also...

Uninvited Guests
Silverlava in Etiquette and Advice, on October 23, 2016 at 9:01 PM

I'm super nervous about people assuming they have a plus-one, or assuming they can bring kids, even if I say "_ seats have been reserved in your honor". Can venues give a backup plan in case someone...

Reception Decor
Silverlava in Style and Décor, on October 23, 2016 at 8:26 PM

What kind of decor do you use to fill up the space? I feel like only centerpieces leaves the rest of the room sort of plain.

Booked the venue!!
Silverlava in Community Conversations, on October 21, 2016 at 5:18 PM

Just got word that my venue has officially been booked for us! There was a lot of back-and-forth on the contract (I'm a details person), so its a huge weight off to finally have it officially ours....

Designed my centerpieces!
Silverlava in Do It Yourself, on October 23, 2016 at 12:58 AM

I'm so excited, I think I have a good plan for the centerpieces! It will be a wood round with a white-antique lantern (and flameless LED candle), then the base will be decorated with succulents &...

Imbalanced wedding party?
Silverlava in Etiquette and Advice, on October 22, 2016 at 10:24 PM

The FH and i have more guy friends than girl friends. Basically, there are 4 guys I'd like to be there and 2 girls. Do I add girls I'm less close with? Or cut guys I'd love to be in the party to...

How far out do I make dress appointments?
Silverlava in Wedding Attire, on October 22, 2016 at 1:32 AM

I'm planning on buying a dress by the end of the year for a Sept '17 wedding. How far in advance do salons book up for dress appointments? I've been calling vendors all week trying to nail down a...

Do I have to hashtag?
Silverlava in Etiquette and Advice, on October 21, 2016 at 2:34 AM

I'm likely the only person my age who has no clue how to use any social media other than Facebook. I seeall these posts about picking a wedding hashtag, and I don't feel like I need one since I dont...
