FH and I want to elope at our favorite place, right on the river in the mountains a couple hours from where we live. We kept going back and forth on if we want it to be just the 2 of us (plus officiant and photographer) or if we want to include our...

Who’s eloping? And are you telling anyone? Best friends, siblings, parents before you do it? We want to elope and my original idea was the have just parents, siblings and 2-3 closest friends present. But lately we’ve been having issues with FH’s...

Hi there, I’m looking for some honest opinions! Not just “it’s your wedding so do what you want!” So I absolutely love the idea of doing black bridesmaid dresses because I want beautiful, bright, colorful flowers throughout my wedding. Including the...

Okay friends I need your opinions! In my search for venues I’ve found one that I really love and it fits the theme of our wedding perfectly! The only issue is that it’s 2.5-3 hours away from where we live. Do you think this would discourage our local...

What kind of undergarments will you be wearing under your dress and where did you get them?

So a few weeks ago I went to a bridal show with my mom and today I got a call that I won one of the raffles I entered! Here are the things I won: 1) two free wedding bands from JVL jewelers 2) two customized champagne glasses annnnd... get ready for...

WHY DOES EVERY EVENT ROOM HAVE UGLY CARPET?! Is it just me or do you always notice how ugly the carpet is in a venue? It’s always some weird swirly pattern and 8 times out of 10 includes the color orange. Like why? Pick a neutral gray or beige...

I bought my dress online and will have to have a few alterations done. Anyone have recommendations for a good seamstress/tailor to alter my wedding dress and possibly add a couple customizations? I’m about 30 miles north of LA.

Yesterday I was on the phone with a friend who got married last year and she really helped put things in perspective for me. I’m in the VERY early stages of planning, mostly still doing research and haven’t booked any vendors yet. But I can already...

Hey all, I’m newly engaged and recently had a conversation with my parents about budget. My mom and dad are very traditional and believe it’s the brides parents responsibility to pay for the wedding. I asked them what they can afford and they said no...

Does anyone have experience with doing DIY bouquets and centerpieces with flowers from the flower district in LA? Thoughts? What was pricing like?

I’m very recently engaged and on a fairly limited budget. I’ve been looking at pre-owned wedding dresses online. I have a pretty good idea of what I want but I’ve never tried on any wedding dresses. I found a dress that I absolutely love on...

When working with a budget (not CRAZY tight but not nearly unlimited), what are your priorities? What vendors and options do you cut out first to avoid going over budget? For me the “must-haves” that I don’t nessesarily want to cut corners on are a...

Hey all! So I have a small dilemma and would love opinions and advice. I’d like to start off that I have 2 single (and young, 16 & 20) sisters as well as one best friend. I can’t decide who I want as my maid of honor! I always imagined I’d want...
