Okay, I was given the name of a photographer by recommendation of two friends before I met him. I happened to meet his business partner and second shooter at a bridal show back in January. I liked their work, but I wanted to meet the main...

I am waiting for all those sweet Groupon deals to find my BM's their jewelry and I am hoping I can score a good deal on table linens over Thanksgiving/Christmas. Anyone else waiting until then to get their decor or gifts for the bridal party?

Ok, so I am a fool here lol! I had no idea/I guess I never paid attention to the fact that you wear a veil during the ceremony - then you remove it. Is it bad to wear it the whole time during your reception? I love my veil and I would be "tacky" for...

Someone in another post mentioned they were going to Ulta on the morning of to get their makeup done. Has anyone done this before? I know they do demonstrations to try and entice you to buy a product, but are there real MUA's in there or are they...

I swear, I am never eating another ground turkey taco ever again. In fact, I am so sick of turkey I do not think I ever want to eat that again PERIOD. My FH is a picky eater, but he loves when I make him food. I should have bought stock in Jennie-O....

I am actually super excited to make the boutonnieres for the guys. I cannot not justify spending $8-$15 on real ones because knowing the GM's and my FFIL, those jackets will come off right after the ceremony. Who else is DIYing theirs? ...

So, Fiftyflowers.com sells 12,000 rose petals for $199.99 or 6000 rose petals for $139.99. Is this too much $$$ or too many petals for the ceremony aisle? Since we will be walking in grass it does not make any sense...

Our ceremony & reception are at the same location at a park. If the weather is nice, we will have bean bag toss ('round here it's called corn hole lol) so people can hang out with a drink and play games while we are off taking pictures. Should we...

How much time are you allotting for dancing? We are going to have about 150 guests go through a buffet line and we want first dances and light dancing for all to happen in between the meal and dessert. That way, after dessert is served with coffee...

What is the worst thing you experienced, saw, had to participate in, deal with, fix at a wedding where you were a guest or member of the bridal party? One outdoor wedding we attended had everyone bring potluck - it was about 80 degrees out with no...

We are still in the early stages of planning, but this came up yesterday at lunch. Typically, there is some form of a "send off" at a wedding where the bride and groom leave and the party continues on, or that is the cue for others to take off as...

If you are still doing your registry and you have not done the Macy's Sip & Scan you TOTALLY should do it! The only time I ever step foot into a Macy's is during Christmas to buy earrings for mom & grandma. Well they had a registry sign up thing at a...

It seems like a lot of brides HATE the rustic/barn/lace/burlap/mason jar thing. This is however very common around where I live because unless you have a wedding at the very high end country clubs, you are sort of stuck with barn venues (lots of...

While Pinterest is wonderful for inspiration, I think it has ruined basically everything "unique" about weddings today. You see something on there and you think "OH HOW CUTE" only to find about 3 of your friends are also doing the same thing for...

We are meeting for dinner for the first time since the engagement. Me, my mother, FH, and my future in laws. My mom is wedding obsessed and my FMIL is not...we will see how it goes...

This is something I never would have considered, but when I came home yesterday from a bridal show I had a flier in my bag from a photographer who does boudoir photos. I jokingly asked my FH if he would want some, and he was like, "Well hell yes!"...
