I am starting the fun of getting together stuff to do some mock ups for my centerpieces, bouquets, corsages, etc. I am curious where you bought your flowers, what you made, the quality and how much you spent? How much did you end up buying? Pics if...

Has any done or plan to do a fun reception entrance? Or do you plan to just walk in to music? I was curious to see what ideas were floating around out there!

Has anyone done this? Had a small "goodie bag" at the table for the little ones? If so, what did you include in it and was it worth it? After dinner and the toasts, etc, they can hit the dance floor, but I am hoping to keep them occupied beforehand. ...

My BP is planning to throw my bridal shower April 22. My FMIL is complaining, saying that it is too early. May comes with Memorial day and other birthdays that get in the way. Is 2 months before too early? When were yours?

I cannot find ANYTHING I like... at all. Does anyone have any suggestions for an online store? I cannot find something reasonable and unique at stores around here. I have an appointment at another store at the end of the month, but want to look a...

We are using a venue that allows our own alcohol brought in, along with the bartender. We have 118 "of age" adults and plan to have bottled beer, wine and 4 signature drinks using whiskey and vodka (2 drinks each). The liquor place gave us an...

I cannot find any good backdrop ideas to save my lifeeeee. We are meeting with a coordinator, but she had asked us to bring a couple ideas. Right now, nothing. Lol. What is your inspiration? Or what did you end up with? We have ourselves and the...

I am at a loss of wines, specifically reds. We are serving a white moscato, it is my favorite, but want to offer a red, as well. There is a sweet red I really enjoy, but I do not want two very sweet wines. What red wine TYPE would you suggest? Not...

So, we are, currently, leaning toward the gold frame on an easel to display a poster with the seating chart.. I just do not love this idea, but have nothing else to go off of. Assuming the guest list all comes, we are looking at 18 tables. Of course,...

Has anyone found a place they can return unopened bottles of wine or liquor? I do not know where to start and would be a lot more comfortable overbuying this way! I don't need 10 bottles of whiskey and vodka and 20 bottles of wine left over! I read...

We are planning to have a red and white wine, two beers and 3 or 4 drinks. One of the drinks are a whiskey and coke, the other a vodka and cranberry. Super simple, and will save us a ton of money. We are going back and forth with the other two...

Hi! I am getting married 06/16/18. We got engaged in March and immediately booked our venue. Most of our vendors are booked - church, photographer, DJ, catering, photo booth. We are starting to plan some of the details and see what works best for us,...

Starting to plan the reception and not sure how long I should expect it to be? The last wedding I went to was over, due to unamused guests - it was 2.5 hours WITH dinner.

The last wedding we went to.. the reception ended almost right after dinner because guests started to leave. That is my biggest fear - boring reception. Advice on how to keep it moving and fun for guests of all ages? (btw, we have a kids VIP room, so...
