Activity for Caryn

We have less than a week to go! How are you fixed for last-minute details? Are you stressed or zen? I'm only taking off Friday, so I'm trying to finalize vendors and take care of details (hello misprinted place cards!) in between meetings, but I'm...

So I'm less than two weeks out and starting to think about last-minute items like tipping. What do you think of the following? Am I being too cheap? Venue ($16k cost INCLUDES gratuity): -Coordinator - $100 -Bartenders - $100 each...

My ceremony is at 6 pm. We will be doing a first look and some pictures before, but just us and immediate family (my parents and our kids) since we will not be having any attendants. I am going to a salon for hair and makeup since it's just me. I am...

I just sent my invitations out on Friday and I'm already so eager for replies! No one is likely to have even received them but I'm still checking my email all the time for emails from Minted. FH and I keep joking about the fact that we can't believe...

So I went dress shopping for the first time last night and I was pretty disappointed. My dad and stepmom are coming into town next month to go shopping with me, but I wanted to narrow things down a bit to make that trip more productive. I tried on 7...

I plan to order fresh greenery garlands from Costco for my long tables and add some natural (undyed) sola wood flowers to them (my bouquet and the cake flowers will be all sola). Does anyone know if sola flowers can get wet? Not soaking wet, but...

So, I absolutely can't find the dress I want in stores and had decided to go custom. I don't have an unlimited budget (who does?) so I was going to go with Anomalie. Unfortunately, it looks like they are not taking new orders now that they've been...

Is anyone wearing glasses on your wedding day? I wear my glasses every day, but I can go without them. I'm really torn about whether to wear them or not. My fiance absolutely does not care either way.

What does everyone think about a Sunday evening wedding? I'd prefer Friday or Saturday but the venue we want is booked. We would only have a few out of town guests, so travel wouldn't be an issue for most people, but is it a problem to have a wedding...

My brother is getting married 3/18/23. My longtime partner and I were planning on getting married in 2024 but for a number of reasons June 2023 would be much better timing. We're all in our 40s and second marriages all around. The only out of towners...

Has anyone used sola wood flowers for DIY centerpieces or bouquets? What did you think? Are they easy to work with/dye? Any tips or experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!
