My DH and I planned a semi-DW in Sonoma to take place Christmas weekend. Our wedding was December 23, 2017 and we kept our guest list small at 40 guests. I enjoyed the planning process so much that I'm still here to help other couples plan their beautiful wedding. I'm one of the "Rockstars" of the community which means that I'm here for you to answer any questions you may have regarding the wedding planning process. Best wishes on your wedding!

Hi, So a common trend I've been seeing for centerpiece decor is a lot of greenery. I was wondering how much people have been spending whether they DIY'd it or hired a florist for greenery garlands (eucalyptus, babysbreath other greenery).

We are assigning tables & seats. If you did this, how did you do place cards? We don't need escort cards since their name will be at their seat. Our seating chart is a large window frame, and the tables will be clipped individually into each...

Did you pick your FH ring, did he, or did you guys together? Do you mind posting a picture of what it looks like and where you got it from? My FH is not too picky and I wanted to start looking online for his. What are some good and trustworthy...

Okay so my fiancé and I have figured out the processional and that we are writing our own vows. What else needs to happen? We plan on the officiant giving a small speech about love and marriage and Christianity but no longer than 5-8 mins. When do we...

Hello 💕 If we are having a plated dinner does it look weird not to have a menu at the table? My FH thinks its unnecessary since we are going to include the menu in the RSVP so they can select their menu choice. Thoughts?

I’m thinking of keeping my accessories pretty minimal. I’ll be wearing a flower crown with my hair either in a messy updo or half up half down. What do you guys think works best with this dress? The neckline will be mostly covered with lace appliqués...

My fmil made our flower girl dresses for my fiance's two nieces. I wanted them to be identical and the bottom of them to be poofy. The dresses are extremely flat looking rather than poofy. They have a heart cutout in the back, but one dress looks...

So I've been sitting over here agonizing over what to do for aisle decor. I love our venue and I know it will be beautifully decorated for the holidays so that's not the issue. But whenever I thought of the ceremony all I could think of was how bare...

Does anyone else find it difficult for a traditional religious church wedding that won’t take the modern 30 minute ceremony route? I’m finding it difficult to place everything happening on the wedding programs without it looking like a 2 hour...

I have long tables at my venue, can anyone give me some centerpiece ideas that aren’t overly expensive to do for my centerpieces. Since the tables long I assume I’ll need two of each item. So far I have lanterns for the tables And garland but still...

Hi ladies, I tried false eyelashes at my makeup trial and of course they look intense in the hotel room up close in my t-shirt! But I don’t know if they will look as intense from far away in my wedding gown when we’re doing family photos, etc. i...

Happy Saturday!! So we are getting married at a country club. Indoor reception. Having trouble deciding whether to do chair covers with a sash versus the chivari chairs. I love to look of the chivari but they don’t seem too comfy. The covered chairs...

Hey everyone, so I think I have bride brain. I’m honestly fried at this point and am a little embarrassed to admit....that I have no idea what my officiant is asking. I thought I had already told him but maybe I didn’t? Idk, if anyone can brake down...
