What is the average cost of rental linens and chairs from a party rental company? I am thinking of the fancier linens, like dupioni or sequined. What about chiviari chairs? I am awaiting prices from a few South Florida vendors, and am trying to...

If you're having a destination wedding and planning from out of state, how do you do make up and hair trials? What if you can't fly out until the week of the wedding? Would it be silly to ask for trials 5-7 days before the wedding? TIA

So, I suddenly got the idea to surprise my guests with a traditional Chinese lion dance. FH is not Chinese, but I am. We are having a very westernized/traditional wedding. But I am thinking it would be fun/entertaining. And it would actually be right...

Would anyone mind sharing some ideas? A guestbook just seems a bit old-fashioned for me. A friend of mine suggested guests could sign Jenga pieces. What other options are out there?

How exactly does it work? I am out of state, so I sent someone on my behalf to speak with venue, and according to them it is "included". They do a 4 hour open bar. We are paying about $160/guest for reception food/beverage, but I thought that...

My wedding will be approx. 50 guests and most not into dancing. We aren't that into DJs. We prefer live music. What should I look for? A band with a wedding singer? What if people don't dance? How can I keep people entertained? I am starting to worry...

I will end up with roughly 50-60 guests. However, no one I know, or that is coming to the wedding is the right age to be flower girl or ring bearer. The closest option is we might have a 1 year old boy coming as a guest. I have also heard of flower...

Hi all, For those of you planning from out of state (or country), how are you coordinating with your vendors what look you want? What do you find is the best way to share your ideas--Do you send pictures by email and text? Did you need to make a...

Do I need a wedding planner? What kind? And how long does it take to find one? I can't decide if I need a full, partial, or day of the wedding planner. I am leaning toward full or partial, mostly because FH and I live in CA and wedding will be in...

I am a Cali girl, getting married in Ft. Lauderdale in January 2018. It will be somewhat of a destination wedding for us (but some of FH family is from SoFlo). I feel like we are running out of time. And I have reached out to 3 wedding planners about...
