Today we officially say "I'm getting married NEXT month!" nervous? Excited? Where are you in your planning?

We are on a budget for our wedding, and we're paying for the whole thing ourselves. Is a big wedding, so I'm trying to cut anything that is not necessary. My groomsmen are not wearing tux or coats at all, just a long sleeve shirt and suspenders and...

How many of you ladies didn't use flowers as decorations? I am trying to decide if I want to forego using flowers. I love flowers just don't know if I want them for my wedding. If you didn't use flowers, what else did you use?

I am curious to see where everyone has selected, would like to select or has interest in for their venue! Just something fun I thought I'd start! Mine is booked and I can't wait!! I found 3 beautiful pics of mine. So exciting!!!!

So my wedding dress is white. Pure white. And the dress that I want to buy for my flower girl is beige. Should I really just be looking for white dresses? Or will beige be ok? If it helps, the bottom of her dress is taupe. Thanks!

Just got done with my hair and make-up trail. Thoughts?

I'm so excited and I have to share! A few years ago I started taking bee pollen and lost 20lbs. I thought the stuff was awesome (I was wrong) but I couldn't afford it anymore. I went about my business and knew I had gained my weight back, but what I...

Who is doing centerpieces without flowers? I'm trying to cut back on our florist cost and I like the idea of doing all candles (or a candelabra?) for a centerpiece or something like that but I don't know how to do that without it being boring and too...

Has anyone used fake or silk flowers? If so where did you get them? We're considering it to save money because flowers are low on our priority list, but I still want them to look nice and the ones at joann's are.... Ehhhh.

Is anyone else having issues with the weddingwire website? I made a wedding website through weddingwire and loved they way it turned out. However, every time I visit the page, something is wrong. My details are missing, or there's a box that says...

Let's see those beautiful rings that are the beginning of something amazing.

Hey everyone- We are moving into the invitation part of wedding planning. We need to order those bad boys soon. So I've been messing around with different invites and picked this one. I'm in need of some grammatical criticism, as well as picture...

My possible florist just quoted me $2,779.71....I'm pretty much in sticker shock! I told her no more than $2,000 but I might be able to work with $2,500 if the budget allowed. I shouldn't have told her $2,500 because she/ went overboard. On top of...

I feel like there hasn't been a dress thread recently, and I love to look at all the pretty things, so let me see your gown!! Here's mine from my second fitting on Sunday (The boning was removed for alterations, so it's definitely not finished!) ...

I'm picking up my dress from the seamstress tomorrow and am nervous that it won't fit for some reason (I know it will but I'm still nervous that it won't!). So to take my mind off of it, show me your dresses! I haven't seen one of these in a while....

Hey everyone. So I'm not really a flower person and definitely don't want to spend a ton of money on them for bouquets and decorations. Well, I found an easy tutorial on how to make flowers out of coffee filters and I like how they came out....
