Hi! I'm Tina an older second time around bride who is a crazy cat lady, adores vintage anything, and loves to bake because it relaxes me. I'm a full time single mom to two boys and soon to be step mom to another! I am so happy to have met my best friend who I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with!

Happily married 🎉

Are you a diamond or pearl jewelry bride?
Tina in Wedding Attire, on November 18, 2019 at 8:18 AM

What type of jewelry are you wearing on the day to accessorise? Diamonds or pearls? Real or faux of course! Or are you wearing something different? Let’s see pics of your wedding jewelry!

Wedding dress sash question
Tina in Wedding Attire, on November 14, 2019 at 4:24 PM

I'm pretty sure I'm leaning towards wearing a satin and beaded sash with my dress. For those of you who wore one did you tie it in the back or sew it to your dress? If you tied it did it stay tight? I...

I live with my FH and this morning I decided to try on my dress while he was at work. I was in our bedroom trying on accessories when I decided to go downstairs to see if I could find an ivory sash I...

FH and I weren't planning on having a honeymoon, but we were going to have a family vacation during the summer. Well after talking about it we decided to move the family vacation up to Spring Break....

Tina in Wedding Attire, on October 16, 2019 at 7:53 PM

Before I start let me say, yes I know it's my day and I can do what I want but I keep thinking I'll look silly....I'm an older bride and not having any bridal party. I see all these pics of everyone...

Help me choose which veil!!!
Tina in Wedding Attire, on October 3, 2019 at 3:15 PM

So after all your amazing feedback I've decided on a fingertip veil and I found three veils secondhand that I really like the look of. The first has clear beading and sequins down the rolled scalloped...

Just for fun....which would you choose?
Tina in Wedding Attire, on October 6, 2019 at 9:29 PM

Let's play which would you choose...! The only wedding dress you can wear on your day, and you have to wear one, is either 1. From the 1960s 2. From the 1970s or 3. From the 1980s. And nope, you can't...

Had an oh no moment today!!
Tina in Wedding Attire, on October 7, 2019 at 4:59 PM

Pulled my wedding shoes out of the box and put them on to practice walking in them...took two steps and walked right out of them! They are too big! My biggest fear is tripping walking down the aisle...

Which do you prefer: Fingertip or cathedral veil?
Tina in Wedding Attire, on October 2, 2019 at 6:49 PM

I ordered a veil online to go with my gown and I got it and it's definitely not ivory, more like champagne. I can't return it so I'm back at square one. The veil I ordered was waltz length which I...

Tina in Do It Yourself, on September 25, 2019 at 4:28 PM

So I finally decided on how to do my table numbers! This is my first go at my table number and my favour tag as I actually want them to look on the day. The lavender sachets will go on top of my menus...

Anyone else overthinking Everything!!
Tina in Planning, on September 22, 2019 at 3:19 PM

Maybe because I'm diying basically everything, but I can't stop obsessing over every little detail. I spent hours and hours and hours just deciding on how I want the table numbers to look. Then more...
