My first bridal shower was this weekend in my home state of Ohio. My maid of honor and bridesmaids went above and beyond and I was truly blown away. It looked like a shower straight out of Pinterest...
Hey, ladies! So for me, choosing the DJ was one of the hardest vendor decisions I had to make. It's really hard to verify and confirm a DJs work unless you've seen him/her at another wedding. Most...
For all of you who are newly engaged (and even for those who aren't), how far in advance do you anticipate that you'll start your planning? And once you start planning, what do you hope to accomplish...
Looking for thoughts and opinions. We’re going to make a few slight changes: curl my hair a bit tighter and maybe cover up more of my nose freckles. What do you think? What would you change?
So I’m an idiot! I was traveling for work this week and right before returning the rental car to the airport today, I locked the keys in the trunk along with my luggage and laptop! All the work stuff...
We went shopping for wedding bands today and I need help deciding. I’m torn. #1 would be customized to exactly match my engagement ring. I want something I can wear alone and they both fit that bill,...
So I've been working on addressing my invitations for about a month now. (I'm doing calligraphy on the inner envelopes, outer envelopes, RSVP cards, and the RSVP envelopes!) I still have about another...
I have my hair and makeup trial on Sunday. My FH doesn’t like updos. I was originally going to do half up/half down but the back of my dress is so pretty and I don’t want to cover it up. I’ve decided...
The invitations for my first bridal shower (I'm having one in my home state and one where I live now.) went out last weekend and we got our first gift on Friday. Two more boxes were just delivered....
We went shopping for our rings on Saturday. I had narrowed my choices down to 2 and some of you helped me make my final decision. Now I need help with his ring! He also narrowed it down to 2 but...
So I was reading another poster's discussion about reception entrance songs just now, and it got me thinking about my own choice... I had always wanted to use Lovely Day by Bill Withers as the song...
Tried my dress on for the first time today and it fits like a glove! The only alterations I need are a hem and a bustle. I was nervous about it fitting and I was anxious about the color because the...
My parents divorced when I was 13 and he’s now on his 3rd wife since my mom. He and I are civil but not close. (My younger brother is walking me down the aisle.) To prevent my dad from feeling left...
So this was the scene in our house last night while I was slaving away over save-the-dates! In his defense, I told him he didn’t have to help. He had been up since 4am, had a 3 hour flight, went to...
I posted yesterday that our engagement pics came back but then I also ordered our STDs last night too. I’m pressed for time because I wanted to wait until spring to get the pictures, but that also...
We had our engagement session last Monday. They were calling for awful weather (thunderstorms, hail, flooding, tornadoes), but we only had a brief rain storm about 2 hours before our session. I don't...
So how did you decide on the color palette for your big day? Is it a combination of your favorite color and your FS’s favorite color? Is it the colors of you or your FS’s alma mater? Did you base your...
Our engagement photos were this evening. I had wanted to go to Sephora to get my makeup done but they didn’t have any appointments today so I ended up at MAC. Everything looked really good except my...
Long post. Sorry! Just need to vent. So a little background/history: FH grew up in a household with married parents who both worked full-time, stable jobs. FH only has one sibling (who happens to be...
So I was recently reading an article that said the average bride tries on 4-7 wedding dresses before finding "the one". This article also said the average number of moral supporters that accompanies a...
