For cake toppers, my FH really only likes the custom ones on etsy that they will customize to look like each of you. However, they seem to start at about $100 and I just can't justify paying that with all the other wedding costs . I really...

FH and I bought a house last spring so this is our first winter here. We thought last months electric bill was bad with the sub zero temps, until we got this months bill of $500!! We have a heat pump, and every one we know has a gas furnace so...

I FINALLY got the room block link (a month later) and the link is my first and last name only. So is everything on the site. The title is "my name"'s wedding and so are the drop down choices for rooms. Am I being too picky or is that weird? Im not...

We are going back to our reception venue in a few days to measure the space so we can plan where tables, chairs, buffet line, cakes & present tables, etc can go.. Is there a free website or program to help you design layouts? Suggestions on layouts,...

We are having a DW so FH and I will likely be spending the night before together (so we will already be seeing each other). Ive heard a few brides on here say they had a private breakfast that morning with the groom. I was wondering how many others...

DW brides- are you doing welcome bags? How are you getting them there? My travel agent advised me against shipping anything to the resort. She said a lot of stuff gets held up in customs and gets lost. But that seems crazy to take welcome bag stuff...

I ordered hand dyed silk flowers on etsy. They are not exactly the color I wanted but I don't think it's worth paying to ship it back to have them re-dyed and shipped back again. It's only a few so I wondered if I could try to fix them myself. Anyone...

What do you have planned for v-day? We usually don't celebrate but his mom spoiled a surprise that he's taking me to a v-day concert. Ive been looking on pinterest for some inexpensive ideas.

I usually wear drug store makeup brands but im looking to get something better for my wedding. Im thinking of going to Macy's and having them to a clinique makeover. What are your opinions on clinique? What kind of price range am I looking at? Any...

We went over to visit his parents this weekend and laying on the couch was a big white gown with these ugly purple flowers. I assumed it was a night gown for his grandma (who is much heavier). Oh no.... it was her dress for our wedding!! I don't get...

We met with our hotel on Jan 18 and set up the room block. Im still waiting on them to email me the link for guests to book through. I emailed her a week and a half ago and asked her if I could get it that week because invitations were going out that...

When I got my dress, they had really nice silver rhinestone flip flops that I loved and I figured I'd come back later when I had more money. Now they no longer carry them and I'm kicking myself! Any suggestions where to look for a quality (yet...

What are some options for inexpensive table covers? We are having a DW and a semi-casual reception when we return. It will be a BBQ at 2pm. So it doesn't need to be super fancy and I don't want to waste much money but I would prefer not to use the...

I'm looking for a ribbon tying headband like the link below. Ive looked on etsy and ebay and they all start around $40. Anyone know if and where I could buy a beaded ribbon and to make my own headband?...

Anyone used perserved flowers instead of silk? I was searching for a particular silk flower and came across them in preserved. Ive never even heard this. I would love to hear what you all think about them. I was wanting to make corsages & boutineers...
