I know we get a lot of questions on alterations and costs on here. I just had my first fitting recently and was a little shocked when she told me what I'd be paying, so I thought it'd be interesting to see/compare to others. Post what you're having...

I own a pair of TB flip flops (the Miller) and had to buy a full size larger than my regular size. I've heard that was pretty common but I wasn't sure if this runs true for her other shoes, like the ballet flats (I'm eyeing the Minnie travel flats)....

My seamstress suggested I steam my own dress, rather than paying for her to steam it. She said between me transporting it from her store to the venue (about an hour away), it is bound to get wrinkles and that it's easy enough to do on my own and will...

Where did you buy your longline bra at an affordable price? I need one with a lower back for my dress. I've been watching some on Amazon and all seem to be $60 but maybe that is what they go for. I was hoping to stick closer to $40. ...

Hello! I had my first alterations appointment on Saturday and the seamstress suggested I buy a crochet hook to help my MOH with buttoning my dress on the big day. I looked on Amazon and there are tons of options of all different sizes. Does anyone...

Our invitations were supposed to be delivered yesterday. I checked the UPS tracking information around 8pm last night and it said they had been delivered at 6:53pm and left at the front door. We checked and nothing (we were home all evening and there...

I'm going to be ordering my invitations from Ann's Bridal Bargains. Does anyone know how often they run bigger promos for discounts? Currently they have a 25% off promo, but last week I saw a 30% off one (I wasn't able to get everything organized in...

I just scheduled my first alterations appointment for mid-August, which means I need to figure out my undergarments situation quickly. I tried on my dress originally with a long line strapless bra at the salon, and it worked fine and couldn't be...

My bridesmaids want to throw me a bachelorette party, but want me to pick what I'd like to do. Of course me being the worry-wart that I am, I start thinking about what will be best for the majority and to ensure people can attend, etc., but my BM...

We booked our honeymoon over the weekend - 10 night southern Caribbean cruise on Princess cruise lines. I can't wait! This is our first time on a Princess cruise and I cannot wait to eat! I know that sounds bad, but I've been dieting since October,...

Tomorrow is my birthday, which means Starbucks has loaded a free drink onto my card - anything my little birthday heart desires. So, what should I get?? I'm open to anything! Any off-menu drinks I should have created? I've heard about a s'mores...

I had a quick consultation (not trial) with my MUA a few weeks ago to show her some looks I liked from Pinterest and talk about make-up options. She does both airbrush and traditional (I think she said she uses dermablend make-up for the...

I have medium colored brunette hair that I partially highlight with a caramel color to help give it dimension (without it turning too blonde). Since I wouldn't consider my hair color treated, am I supposed to be using a special shampoo to help...

I remember seeing a trick about sending your STD post cards from the post office but I'm having trouble finding the thread(s). I think it was a way to prevent black lines on them - having the post office hand insert or something? Can anyone clarify...

Are you using a hotel room to get ready in? I will be and I'm trying to decide how big of a room I should be getting. I'd prefer to get the least expensive room option, however I'm worried there won't be enough room for the make-up artist and hair...
