I still had several pics of dresses I tried on during my search, so I thought I'd share! Feel free to share your dresses that didn't make the final cut

Weekends are full of wedding planning. What are you working on this weekend? I just finished cleaning two pails of shells that I collected the other day after a really bad storm washed a bunch on shore. I live 20 minutes from the beach so as soon as...

I am planning my wedding from a distance, so I contacted my wedding coordinator to find a low cost florist. So this past weekend I went to visit the floral shop she recommended. I wanted all hydrangeas. So I ordered one brides bouquet, 3 flower girl...

Our theme is white pumpkins, table overlay will be plum. I'm trying to keep the centerpieces simple so they are easy to transport, trying to save money, and don't want too many things to collect after the party. I've been searching Pinterest for...

I finally buckled and finished my DIY card box just 3 days before the wedding. I bought a kids chest from Michael's for about $5, cut a hole, sprayed painted it white and then add ribbons and some silk flowers that I didn't use from Hobby Lobby. I am...

So I picked out my bridesmaids dresses from Alfred Angelo. The sample dress was pink, so this my first time seeing the real dress. So my FSIL, who is also my bridesmaids, got her dress in and sent me a pic. The dress looks great. She also just had a...
