Best way to seal lined envelopes?
Tess in Wedding Attire, on July 23, 2015 at 8:03 PM

Spinoff: What are your "Do Not Plays"?
Tess in Community Conversations, on September 21, 2015 at 11:20 PM

Our list consists of YMCA, anything from the movie Grease or Rocky Horror Picture Show. FH and I both worked (I still work) in events, and have heard these songs a gazillion times. I'm pretty sure my...

My cousin's wife owns an Etsy shop where she sells different wedding favor items. I had reached out to her because I was interested in some little "recovery kit" bags to use as part of the welcome...

Makeup Trial!
Tess in Wedding Attire, on September 13, 2015 at 9:55 PM

Overall I love the eyes, but not sure about the lips. I know once I'm in all white I will want a little more color, but I don't want to look like a clown. Thoughts?

Tess in Wedding Attire, on September 4, 2015 at 1:31 PM

I purchased the Ivory Betsey Johnson Heels for my wedding in a few weeks, and noticed there were pen marks on them (I am assuming from when they were constructed), and then had issues with yellow glue...

Question about alterations cost
Tess in Wedding Attire, on September 4, 2015 at 8:55 AM

Just curious - how much did it cost for you to have your dress bustled? I was charged $80 for only the bustle to be done, and I think I may have been overcharged. I also had a bad experience...

Such a relief! Favors almost done.
Tess in Do It Yourself, on August 16, 2015 at 8:12 AM

Shortly after booking our venue last year, I had the (not so) brilliant idea that we were going to make etched mason jars for our wedding guests. I figured they could be used for iced...
