Activity for Katherine

The title says it all. I have ceremony heels and reception flats, and I don't want to trip on my dress. I've heard some people split the difference, or even remove their under slip (though that would add length), or even add a front bustle. Does...

We have been between a couple of options. We had originally asked a dear friend of ours who did a beautiful job at our friends' wedding, but he is very wishy-washy in general. He did not answer the last three times I called him over the course of a...

I can't believe how expensive hair and makeup services are to be done onsite, even if they are in the same city. So far, I have found ONE vendor that charges $185 for both hair and makeup, but has mixed reviews. I was expecting to spend around...

I need a hair and makeup artist near our venue in Palos Verdes, willing to travel onsite. I waited too long to book the one I wanted and she booked a trip out of town, but had off-season pricing and was around $250 for both. I'm going for a...

We have taken a drive through the area and are looking specifically anywhere between Palos Verdes, Torrance, and Redondo Beach. Any recommendations on rehearsal lunch venues that are nice and fit our budget? Looking for good food, doesn't have to be...

Do the bride's shoes have to coordinate with the bridesmaids? I'm thinking silver sandal-type shoes or wedges for them. I may go with flats. With my dress, I could go with ivory, champagne, or silver. My girls' favorite dress, Alfred Angelo 7340L,...

I think my girls and I finally have it narrowed down: Option 1: this dress in navy, eggplant, or gray. https://www.weddingtonway.com/products/alfred-angelo-7340l-bridesmaiddress?sku=aa-7340L-navy I'm concerned about it looking too dark/all the same,...

I have 5 girls, all with different heights and body types. I've looked around quite a bit and the Kennedy Blue and Alfred Angelo dresses are my favorites. We are trying on Alfred Angelo today. Kennedy Blue has an at-home try-on system as well as...

Hello, Has anyone used Eshakti for their bridesmaid dresses? We have been eyeing them for the past couple of months, and as new styles come in, their other styles quickly vanish. Has anyone been able to get past styles made or had any issues with...

We have been having a difficult time finding dresses that flatter all of the girls. One store we've liked is Alfred Angelo. We've eliminated David's Bridal. I'm thinking that if it's not Alfred Angelo, we will be going with either Kennedy Blue or...

We love our photographer and unfortunately only have the budget for one, photography or videography. My FH works in IT and has been talking about doing a stationary camera angle for filming the ceremony and toasts, and having a drone for other scenic...

My FH and I are looking for a DOC. Our budget is under $1k. What did you rely on your DOC for? How much was a partial planner? What did you discuss in terms of expectations and preparing everything to hand over to them? Thank you.

For those who had a friend officiant, how did it go? We are spiritual and lean more towards Buddhism than the religions we grew up with. We want to know our officiant closely and are considering a couple of dear friends and family members. One...

We have taken a drive through the area and are looking specifically anywhere between Palos Verdes, Torrance, and Redondo Beach. Any recommendations on rehearsal dinner venues that are nice and fit our budget? Looking for good food, doesn't have to be...

I'm looking for a rustic trail in Southern California that my fiance and I can take with our closest family and friends for an intimate exchange of vows. We are looking for something on a hilltop with an ocean view that is not too steep or strenuous...

This weekend I went shopping for FH's ring. I thought I found one in a store, but he didn't like the double bezel, so we hit up a couple more stores then went online. Amazon for the win! I ordered it this morning. It's supposed to arrive between June...
