3750 days agoThe questions about matching a gold/ivory dress to the groomsmens' shirts got me thinking: I've got a dress that's ivory lace over gold. And I'd been planning to drape our ceremony arch in tulle. Should I drape in ivory or champagne tulle, to avoid...

3752 days agoI had my first awkward name exchange the other day - the really nice lady who runs the bridal salon was filling out my info. Name? "Emily G." And what will your married name be? "G." (cue horrified/confused look and awkward silence) "I'm keeping my...

3753 days agoA lot of the long BM dresses seem to be on clearance now, I'm assuming leftover from last fall. Anyone know when the new crop of fall BM dresses will come in?

3753 days agoI've been looking at different veil options, and want to order mine on Etsy to save $$. I want a drop veil, very sheer with great drape, maybe narrow lace or bling edging. I'm going back and forth over whether silk or organza tulle...

3754 days agoReading through the shot list thread, it occurred to me that I really haven't given much thought to poses/composition that I really like. I have Pinterest boards for inspiration for dresses, hair, shoes, bouquet, decor, you name it....but not photos....

3760 days agoAfter soooo many weeks of agonizing and lots of salon visits, I finally have a dress! Huge special thanks to Jersey Jen and thanks to Jennifer too! This is the dress we loved at my first salon visit, but although everyone else raved about it on me,...

3761 days agoIs anybody wearing a slim A-line or drop-waist A-line and wearing a petticoat underneath? What does your dress look like with and without it?

3761 days agoI've been starting at photos of my top 3 and near-contenders for hours and still can't decide on a dress! Little things that I don't like about each dress have suddenly become hugely important (is the lace hem too deep? Do I only like that one more...

3762 days agoThe "best" salon in my city has been there for several decades and is large and successful. It has hundreds of rave reviews. But when I talked to them about ordering a dress, they told me it would be 100% payment up front, that they couldn't order it...

3763 days agoHey girls! Quick version: how does Viera (in the correct size for you) fall on you? Is it tight across the hips/lower stomach, or does it fall from the waist? Longer version: I've only been able to try it in a bridal 10 (I'm bridal 14-18) that was...

3764 days agoDress 1 is the Sottero Viera sheath, which I tried on in a too-small size 3 weeks ago. Dress 2 is a Justin Alexander A-line that I tried on today. In each case, the people who were with me preferred the dress they saw in person to photos of the other...

3765 days agoMy venue just announced their annual wedding show where their preferred vendors are all showcased. Of COURSE it's the only weekend I have to be out of town for business! So my fiance is manning up and going on his own. We have a photographer and DJ...

3765 days agoI've been to 3 salons now, each the largest in their city, and NONE of them have had samples of the 12-15 dresses I want to try. Even when I call ahead, they don't offer to get them in, just claim they have "similar" styles and could "show me what it...

3774 days agoHey all! We're about to set up our wedding website, and having a tough time choosing. They all seem pretty similar to me, but it's hard to judge functionality while browsing. We're looking for a password-protected site that's easy to navigate, great...

3776 days agoWe're looking for ideas for a December honeymoon. We already ruled out anywhere outside the continental US (too pricey), beachy places (Not our thing. Plus, Zika) and camping (too cold). We're leaning toward a ski honeymoon, but I want to see if...

3777 days agoSome of you may remember I was anxious about dress shopping. I hate clothes shopping, especially dresses, as standard sizes never fit me right. And I'm 15 lbs heavier than usual right now - a 14, too big for most samples. The idea of staring at...
