Stuck on details
Stephanie in Planning, on January 18, 2018 at 1:02 PM

So I'm about 10 weeks out and all that's left are the details, now that the big things are out of the way. This is the part I dread, because I get so stuck on the little things that really aren't all...

Stephanie in Planning, on January 15, 2018 at 3:48 PM

I've started the addressing process today.. well, I'm trying to. I've never analyzed my own handwriting so much. I know I want to do calligraphy on the front and my MOH has offered to help with that...

Stephanie in Wedding Attire, on January 12, 2018 at 5:49 PM

I'm a fairly tall girl and I never wear heels because I don't find them comfortable. My shoe shopping for the big day has left me a little discouraged that I'll be able to find cute flats to wear with...

Stephanie in Community Conversations, on December 22, 2017 at 9:02 PM

I’m finding that I have a knack for ruining when people are trying to surprise me. My cousin’s wife, one of my bridesmaids, offered to gift us an engagement shoot as she has a photography business of...

My wedding band arrived!
Stephanie in Wedding Attire, on December 8, 2017 at 10:43 PM

I fell in love with a ring at my local jeweler, but the price was a little higher than what I felt comfortable paying for my wedding ring. Nearing Black Friday, FH and I decided to search for websites...

As I decorated my townhouse for Christmas last week, it struck me that it might be a good idea to put some items on my registry to replace old decorations that I bought in college. Has anyone else...

Dress Fittings
Stephanie in Wedding Attire, on November 4, 2017 at 3:08 PM
