Activity for Ostrichka

Makeup trial tonight! My MUA offers the option to do airbrushed makeup for an additional $25. She gave me a good explanation of the difference but since I don't usually wear much more than light foundation and mascara, I've already forgotten...

I was inclined to save the money on cake and buy a fresh one for our anniversary. FH says we should save it to eat the very next day. (And get a fresh one for our one-year.) My mom says she will wrap it up well for us and store it in her deep...

Yesterday's thread about the fun ("ridiculous") things that people registered for made me wonder: what unsolicited ridiculous gifts have you gotten? We got some cute mugs (Mr. Right and Mrs. Always Right), and a serving tray that is nice, except that...

FH and I are working with our officiant and planner to put together our wedding ceremony. Any good online resources for a non-religious, modern ceremony? We're going for something short and sweet! It's hard to explain what I envision--lighthearted,...

This post is a heads up to folks and the WW app developers! I was just reading a new comment on a thread I had previously posted on, and noticed my wedding date was somehow set for a day earlier! Is this a new-app quirk? I just adjusted it back in...

*sigh* a mini-vent here. I have asked our venue coordinator no less than 4 times to schedule our tasting. Sent her a list of our tasting choices and then followed up three times. She even responded to another question I had, and ignored the part...

We need to get wedding bands soon, and I'm contemplating how my white gold ring might look next to a band in a different metal, such as rose gold. Not sure how exactly I'd pull it off with my simple solitaire ring (which I love for it's simplicity!),...

What wedding cost really shocked you the most? i.e., which item seemed most grossly overpriced compared to what you would be getting even knowing that everything for weddings is costly? For us, it's the cost of shuttle transportation. Our hotel is...

Have you seen this recent post from I Thee Dread blog: http://itheedread.jezebel.com/worlds-worst-wedding-guest-publishes-bitchy-live-blog-o-1733590619 The comments! So much entertainment. Enjoy.

Has anyone used shoesofprey.com for wedding shoes? How did you like them? And please share your designs!

I'm curious if anyone has purchased bulk flowers online for their centerpieces. We want to do some fairly simple centerpieces such as mixes of bud vases with single flowers or tall branches in a vase with simple flower accents. I see there are a...

Any vendors that you met with who you did not hire who provided you with some funny stories to laugh about afterward? For example, we met with a photog, who went on for at least 5 mins about how they don't require vendor meals in their contract but...
