Activity for Melissa

Ok, so here I was, going along thinking all the wedding planning was going smoothly, when BAM- somebody has a freak out. FH and I had been looking at rehearsal dinner sites and not having much luck. The lowest priced one we found had a $1200...

113 days to go for me! This week I ordered the junior bridesmaids' dresses. Met with the wedding planner to order rentals, linens, and set up tasting with the caterer. Booked the wedding night hotel. And booked the florist!

So is anyone doing anything unique for their reception exit? I'm trying to come up with ideas and am not really feeling the sparkler/bubbles/rice thing. Has anyone seen anything really cool?

So I'm planning on getting my make-up done for my boudoir photo session and was thinking I'd use the salon at Ulta to get my make-up done beforehand, which is $30. But we just recently had a Sephora open up near us and they told me yesterday...

Oh lord jesus help me... lol. Have y'all ever had that moment where you're like "we're inviting X number of people" and then you actually count with guests and you're like "omg we're inviting XXXXXX NUMBER OF PEOPLE?!?!" Haha I knew it was going to...

Hi ladies, I was just wondering what everyone was looking at it in terms of flower budget. I met with a florist tonight he quoted me around $700 for bridal bouquet, 6 bridesmaids bouquets, 5 boutonnieres, and two wrist corsages for bridal...

I had posted on here about a week ago about naked cakes, and whether anyone had seen one done. We had our cake tasting to night and I think we're definitely going for the naked cake option! We're going to do a small naked cake to cut and then serve...

There was a thread not too long ago about whether or not someone should take out a loan to pay for their wedding. The resounding answer was no, but in case you needed further proof of that, I just processed a divorce where the parties had to divide...

I've gone back and forth on whether or not we should hire a calligrapher for our invitations. It just seems like an added expense when we already have a tight budget, and I don't even really know how much it costs. Can anyone share if they did it/how...

FH and I will be doing our first dance to Cosmic Love by Florence and the Machine. I'm so excited, I've literally had this song picked out for years now. We saw her live several years ago and she sang it and it was amazing. Still trying to decide on...

We're getting ready to taste test soon (YUM) and I was just wondering if anyone had gone the sheet cake route? I've heard of people doing a nice looking very small sort of top layer for bride and groom to cut, but then serving cut pieces of sheet...

Hi all, I'm trying to get an idea of what you all plan to do or did do with your engagement ring on your wedding day. I plan to wear my engagement ring on top of my wedding band (wedding band closest to my palm), and therefore didn't want to wear my...

I'm so excited! Booked our Disney honeymoon today!! If any brides are planning on a Disney World honeymoon, I HIGHLY recommend calling to book it! They are so helpful and saved me a ton of money. FH and I are so excited to stay at Animal Kingdom...
