My step mom just messaged me and said it arrived in the mail today. Stay tuned, I should have it tomorrow to try on in person! My dad said it doesn't look bad and that the material is very heavy and...
Dress Just whining. The more I see it, the less I like it as a wedding dress. I had never gotten an "ah-ha" moment with it. Even with the crinoline skirt I kind of just... don't want to wear it on the...
I swear, though, the more I get done the more it feels like needs to be done. -Grooms gift arrived over the weekend (cuff links and a tie pin. Super original LOL) - Made time line adjustments with the...
Now idk how I should wear it. I swear he picked the worst ring to pair. I took a chance and ordered online because nothing was working in the stores when I tried on but it’s not fitting how I was...
I honestly wasn’t going to do a makeup “trial” because I know how to do my makeup, thank you very much 😂 I don’t wear makeup daily. In fact FH doesn’t like it when I do but has conceded that certain...
We were planning on having a dry reception. The thing is, though, we are having our reception at a restaurant. So it is readily available. My grandma... well... she's been known to smuggle a flask...

Last thing checked off my list, booked a photographer! I kept waffling back and forth as to if we were going to have one. We are on a razor thin budget. But I found someone who is still building their...
Our venue called us a few days ago and said that we couldn't do what we had been planning to do due to them having an event at 6pm that day. I had reserved 4 tables in a restaurant and was just going...
We are basically just taking everyone out to dinner after our ceremony to a restaurant. Nothing super fancy, no decor nothing like that. We just reserved 3 tables and figured people could arrange...
A month from today I’ll be marrying my best friend. So cliche but so true! Today I confirmed details with the restaurant we’re holding the reception in. They had called us yesterday and said that our...
Finally the crinoline came in for my dress! Now I can’t pick which way I want to wear it. I intended on making it shorter by bringing up the waistline but now I’m not sure. Halp!
3 bouquets 5 boutonnières 6 corsages All done and in total cost about $38 Honestly putting the bouts and corsages together were harder than I anticipated. I ended up doing two over once I got...
I’m going to do a series of my scores and start keeping tally while I go. Maybe this will help other brides in the planning process? I don’t see many threads about bottom basement cheap weddings here....
Last night FH and I took a big step and opened up a joint account together. I have never had a joint account with anyone and it makes it feel so very real that we are blending our things together. Ex...
Agh! What a sigh of relief! Backstory- we had to change our wedding plans because of a family emergency. We moved things up and shortened our guest list to immediate family. But even before this we...
So I get this email this AM from my step mom saying she bought a wedding dress for me and to not be mad. A few minutes later I get an email from Wish confirming her order. I’m cracking up over here....
