3225 days agoI'm back! I know all everyone wants to see are the pictures, but I wanted to do a quick BAM with a few pics and advice before I get my pro pics back. I know you all have heard most of the advice before (the day flies by, something will go wrong,...

3314 days agoUgh. So I had my first dress fitting on Monday (yay!) but looking at the pictures my mom took of my bustle, I've noticed the dreaded back cleavage. It's a low-ish-back dress, so my seamstress told me it had to be tight around the waist because...

3340 days agoI'm really lucky that the church where we're getting married has some amazing musicians. My uncle (the priest there) worked hard to secure what he calls the "A-Team"--the best musicians. I've heard the singer and the pianist several times and they...

3419 days agoThe seamstress at my dress store informed me that a hem for my dress would be in the $300-$400 range. I'm 5'8, so if I wear heels that are about 2 3/4 to 3 inches, I won't need a hem. That's not a super high heel so I'm currently on the...

3519 days agoNext on my to do list is BM dresses. I'm trying really hard to be conscious of my girls' budgets, because many of them are traveling and several are still students. I definitely need to stay under $100, and would like to be under $80. I...

3543 days agoFH & I did our engagement session with our wedding photographer in Detroit last weekend, and she already has them up on her website!! We had done another e-pic session in his hometown in Nebraska that just wasn't very fun and kinda blah, so we were...

3550 days agoSo I tried on dresses for the first time today. I really thought I was going to go with an all lace fit & flare or mermaid style, but I wanted to try on all styles to just see. I was adamant I didn't want a ball gown. Well, the first ball gown-ish I...

3565 days agoSo I'm getting married next June in Michigan (my hometown), but FH and I currently live in Nebraska. I'm going back to MI in a few weeks to visit family and my mom wants to go dress shopping (she's generously offered to buy the dress). Now I'm faced...

3615 days agoHey all--my wedding is (almost) 1 year away and it is finally starting to feel real. Our photographer's package includes e-pics, but we're planning from out of town and won't be back in Detroit in time to do them for save the dates. FH's friend is a...

3759 days agoFIVE STARS!!!!!!!!!! Somewhere in my wine-fueled ramblings this weekend, I got my fifth star! I've been around awhile but I only post sporadically so I thought it would never happen. So where's my bottle of champagne to celebrate?? Here's some ring...

3908 days agoI know it's super early to book a photographer for my 2015 wedding, but a woman I casually knew growing up is running a 20% of deal. The cost will be $1450 for 9 hours of photography, 2 photographers, 500-800 prints on a disc with the printing...

3929 days agoSoooo I'm such a great and talented volleyball player that I decided to try to block a 6'3 guy the other day in a sand game. And the ball landed on top of my fingers on my left hand. Guess I won't be wearing my e-ring for awhile!! Literally the first...

3932 days agoMy wedding is still 2 years away, but I was home in Michigan last week and checked out venues. I found one that's absolutely perfect--will fit in my budget, large enough for our 300 (and growing) guest list, beautiful, AND you can bring in your own...
