We are getting married in New Orleans on August! Photos are outside, 5 hours before the wedding. Are any of you makeup artists? I need tips for how to touch up makeup after photos in the heat! Do we blot the sweat and then apply a translucent powder?...

How long did it take, per bridesmaid, for makeup? For you? What about for hair? Please also keep in mind I like dramatic, photo-ready makeup, not a natural/barely there look. How long for hair? i just discussed booking someone for makeup, and she had...

Parents, groomsmen, lectors, vocalist, readers will all be getting corsages and boutonniere's. Will your Greeters have a corsage?

I am going to provide robes, but I don't really consider that a gift. Any suggestions (under $100) for my bridesmaids? They are all 40+ in age and upper-middle-class+, so it needs to be something nice and not just a trinket. I thought about a...

We are getting married in less than a month! 😊 We have had almost 140 RSVP that they are attending. However, we have received less than 12 gifts (and 1/2 of those from people who RSVPed they are not attending.) We are paying for the wedding ourselves...

Our reception location seems to be estimating the alcohol usage high. We think we might be better off simply paying per drink. Even when I put in that our guests are “heavy drinkers” the online calculators show our usage significantly less than the...

Who is getting married in Jackson Square on 8/2?

Our RSVP deadline has passed, and we still lack about 1/3 of the guests reply’s. I have sent messages to some, and still nothing. We have a drivable destination wedding in 1 month. An exact guest count is required by our reception venue. Should I...

We are date twins! Lol who is getting married in the French Quarter?

I am doing an adults only Rehearsal Dinner, so having a babysitter and pizza at a hotel suite for the children. Any pizza delivery recommendations that deliver to the French Quarter Hotels?Also, if I want to do food delivered to the hotel suite for...

Can anyone help? Napolean House can do a seated dinner in a private dining room, with drinks for about $60 per head. Unfortunately, they are booked the night of our Wedding Rehearsal. No one else I am researching in the French Quarter is...
