Activity for Elyse

So before FH & I got engaged I had started a weight loss journey to lose a total of 100lbs. I am down almost 25lbs & I went dress shopping for the first time. I fell In love yesterday with a huge ballgown but when I got back to the dressing room, I...

We saw pictures of HappyInHawaii's bridesmaid dress monstrosity. Do you have pictures of you as a bridesmaid? Stories of what it was like on the other side? I've only been in ONE wedding and my bride was not even remotely demanding. She did pick out...

I think this has been by far my most productive weekend (kinda had to be haha). I did so much including finishing my card box, writing up escort cards, gift shopping, and getting thinks packed up for the wedding and honeymoon. Unfortunately I...

Just got the call that the MU artist cancelled due to a death in the family. I had a team of 4 people. 1 person dedicated to my hair and MU, then 2 hair people and 1 MUA. I'm trying to stay positive that at least my MU will be done and she can...

I'm obsessed with this shirt I found on Etsy, but I reached out to the seller and it doesn't come in plus size. It apparently runs small too, so I don't want to risk it because I want it loose and comfy. Any ideas on where I could find it in a plus...

Long story short, my dress had to be let out a LOT, like 5 inches a lot. The seamstress knew she could stretch it to about 4 inches bigger but I'd have to lose the rest. So of course I'm feeling the pressure and panicking and needless to say I wasn't...

I'm counting down the minutes till lunch because I'm headed to the post office for the 3rd time this week to drop these babies in the mail! The invites definitely put me in IDGAF mode so they aren't as perfect as I wanted but at least they are done....

Where are you getting yours? Anyone wanna share pics? All of my usual places are coming up short. Rent the Runway, Torrid, Macy's, Lane Bryant, ModCloth. I was hoping for something white with a little bling, or maybe gold or blush. Everything I find...

I finally finished undergrad last night (woohoo!), so I'm back into planning mode and looking to start my first DIY. Table numbers! My inspiration pic is below and I'm trying not to waste money by screwing up so here's some silly questions: What...

For some reason that gap post earlier made me go check my event order again. Everything is at one place so it’s back to back, but after dinner I realized it only leaves 1.5 hours for dessert and dancing. Doesn’t that seem really short? We have the...

I'm really leaning toward one (I may even be sold on it), FH gives me the generic "I like both", so what do you guys think? Apologies for the poor quality, my appearance, and lighting haha. My hair would be down in waves and I won't have glasses on....

with your centerpieces. I haven't talked to the florist yet because honestly I have a super small budget for flowers so I'm wondering if I want to include them at all in the centerpieces. I'm pretty sure I do, but something very small and maybe add...

Ar first I was thinking I would just let everyone do their own thing, but I am seeing all these cute pictures of the BMs coordinating in getting ready pictures. I came across a really good deal on Etsy for silk robes and as cliche or played out as...

Well I posted before that I was torn between two Allure gowns and everyone on here and in real life voted for this one. Apparently it's "so me" according to the few I showed it to. This was the second dress I tried on at my second store. In total it...

They came out better than I thought. Below is my inspiration pic and then my numbers. They only had 6 plaques so I just did the even numbers to start out. I may switch up the plaque shape for the odds and I still have to buy or rent small gold...
