My FH's parents initially asked if they could cover the rehearsal dinner, and offered to give us a small contribution to the wedding itself. We weren't expecting it and didn't ask for it, but...

My dress was not supposed to be here until April, but came in early (yay!). I picked it up yesterday, and am not planning on alterations until August. The bridal salon gave me the names of 3...

This is a 2 part question. I ordered my dress a few months ago and it is gorgeous (I might be biased!). However, I never make decisions quickly and I made the decision about this dress...

We have finally settled on a florist (so glad I can check that off our list!) and she sent a great questionnaire to get us started. She mentioned some options for materials to wrap my bouquet, and I...

We decided a while back that the only children we would be inviting would be the children of the bridal party. Since then FH has decided he would like to invite the adult children in his family...

Minted is offering 25% off using code ENGAGED. It ends tonight! If I had my butt in gear I would be ordering, but we are still working on ours. Booooo.

I just learned that my MOH (sister) BM and my mother are planning a bridal shower for me this summer. My first question is, should they be involving my FMIL and if so how much involvement should she...

Let me begin saying I know nothing about linens. lol. I am looking into renting some floor length overlays to go over the ivory tablecloths at our venue. I have contacted a couple of local vendors,...

I wasn't going to register for china, but I fell in love with a pattern from Disney of all places. Problem is they don't have a gift registry, just a honeymoon registry. Is there a way to add this to...

I am meeting with a floral designer tomorrow at a coffee shop around lunch time. Do I pay for her food/coffee? Sorry if this is dumb question, I've never met with a vendor this way, I'm not sure what...

Hi everyone! I have meetings set up with two florists this week. Back when we were first talking they each asked me to send pics of the style I liked and they had me fill out questionnaires. I did...

I am going to an engagement party for FH's cousin this weekend. I know this isn't typically a gift giving type of event, but I'd like to bring something small to congratulate them. Any suggestions?...

Our wedding is taking place at a popular hotel in Salem, MA in October. It is a very busy time of year and they are setting aside a small block of rooms for us. When we booked and picked a time for...

I ordered my dress a few months ago and based the size decision off the advice of the salon owner. After reading some horror stories on WW I am getting nervous. They based the size recommendation on...

I was showing my MOH some bridesmaid dresses to see how she felt about the styles. Well, she hated all of them. They were all A-line with various sleeve and neckline options. I am being very careful...

Have any of you used Minted for STD's or custom invitations? I am thinking of using them because they can do custom illustrations and will have a designer work one on one with you throughout the...

I live in the Boston area where flowers are apparently quite costly. Learn something new everyday! lol. Anyway, I've managed to find a couple who are in my price range with a style I love. They have...

I've had a rough couple of years health wise and FH and I have been through a lot. I am not thrilled with how I look. Honestly, I felt gross that day and thought my hair and makeup looked awful (had...
