So I went to Nordstrom Rack yesterday in an effort to hunt down engagement photo outfits and much to my surprise, there were quite a few bridal dresses in the clearance section! Prices ranged from about 175-600 for long ballgown types and much lower...

So since the one vendor that was within our price range for "traditional" cake can't do my November wedding (wtf) because they're supposedly booked, I'm quite happy to consider ordering about 10 single level cakes to feed everyone with. I'm thinking...

So I'm in the process of setting up appointments with florists but I wanted to get some advise from you ladies as well. For those of you that were on a budget and weren't particular on type of flowers, how did your florist suggest you save money? I...

I have about a page of little exclamation marks. AKA, Wedding Wire's trying to tell me I'm a bit behind. Boo. Well I don't wanna.

So this past weekend we finally got the STD's done (now I have to finish printing them) and I made a side remark about how the stamps are going to be the most expensive part of the project. FI's response? Well we could always put the return sender as...

So this week we've officially booked our wedding band and photographer. We'll get engagement photos done in July - funny since we've been engaged since last March but it's more to get to know her though FI already does. Today I'm meeting with a...

You may or may not choose to operate by all these said rules, but with all the commotion going on today in the forums, I would suggest at least giving this a read....

When you make your response cards, I see that most people will put ___ of ____ attending and then ___ chicken ____ beef ___ child or whatever...but how do you know who's eating what if you need to label the placecards so the venue can serve people...

I'm a HUGE Joshua Radin fan and wanted to use "Today" in our wedding somewhere...but on FB a post from another post (you know how that works) came up about a new song called "in her eyes" that he performed on the Ellen show. So for those of you that...

So we all probably have things that are costing a ton and others that aren't too expensive. But what I want to know is what are you completely splurging on that you know very well is probably outright stupid for you to do so because it's not...

Ok, I feel kind of dumb for asking this, but I already have some pretty big and blinged out earrings and I know my poor ears aren't going to be used to that much hardware the day of the wedding. For some reason I thought there were special posts or...

Does anyone know where I could get this from? I'm looking for blue or purple on one side, and white on the other. I'm wanting to do post card STD's and thought it'd be easier to just have the one side be colorful but I can't find this anywhere or...

So wayyyy back in the day, I did a little photography. I almost went to school for it too. I'm no pro and in NO way claim to be. FI on the other hand has a BFA in photography but doesn't claim to know anything about wedding photography either....

So I was just thinking about all the brides that do the bouquets out of pins or other pretty sparkly things, but I wanted to see if anyone was doing anything really cool for corsages or boutonnieres. My mom has a condition where she's not really...

So this is my mini rant and I'm just trying to see if brides that are getting married in major cities are having issues with a lot of vendors being pretty pricey! Maybe I just have expensive taste but good photographers are all 3k , cakes are mostly...
