Activity for JuleeM

Hi. We were married in September and I'm now getting around to changing my name. I can't decide what I want to do. We don't plan to have kids but he really wants me to change my name. However I don't want to lose my maiden name completely, but I...

Hi all. I'm struggling with what would be an acceptable tip for a few of my vendors. The florist works for a big bridal shop that does all things wedding. She has been amazing but 20% would be $240 which seems a bit much. I was thinking...

We need to pick an song to play when we announce the bridal party, family, and make our entrance to the reception. We want to just use one song. I almost didn't want to do th intros because every video I have seen seem so campy and the DJs sound like...

FH and the groomsmen will be getting ready in one hotel room and my bridesmaids and myself will be getting ready in another. We will both be taking separate trips in our limo to head to our venue for our first look. Our photographer will arrive at...

Hi. My MOH is also playing music for my wedding so she will not actually be walking but will be joining us up front after the processional song is done. I have a specific order that I want the girls to stand in for the ceremony based on their dress...

I have a little room left in out budget for decor, we still need some small GM gifts, table numbers, and I still need accessories. What are your favorite Etsy shops (or wedding websites) for anything wedding? I want to look at all the pretty things! ...

I have seen references to a Wedding Wire timeline generator. Does anyone know if such a thing exists and where I can find it?

9/26 ladies we are at the 1 month mark! It came so fast. The stress is finally kicking in. It seemed like there was so much time to finalize all the little details but September is coming in like a train! September brides (or others), how are you...

At what point in the evening did you have your bustle tied and about how long did it take? I'm stressing over the best time to do this. My dress has a chapel train with 13 ties and loops. We plan to greet guests as they enter our reception for the...

Can anyone recommend the type of product I should put in my hair before having it curled for a down style that will help it hold? Mousse? Gel? Also any specific brands that perform particularly well? My hair is stick straight, not too thin or thick. ...

I'm just over one month out from my wedding and this weekend is finally making it feel real! Tonight I will hopefully be picking up my dress after the first round of alterations. I'm nervous that I'm not going to love it. Then tomorrow is my...

Our ceremony will be at the same location as our reception, only outdoors. I was originally planning on doing programs but I figure people will just leave them on their chairs. I was thinking instead of creating a decorative double-sided program/menu...

Hi all. I was having dinner the other day with a group of people and one woman does wedding makeup (she isn't my makeup artist). She asked me what I was doing for my wedding and I told her I was probably going to go with airbrush foundation. She said...

Does anyone plan to (or already did) preserve their bouquet? If so how are you doing it? I see there are services to do it for you but it is really expensive ($400 ). I'm just wondering if there is a DIY method that works or some way to do it...

We were originally thinking 5:30-10:30pm (including a 1 hour cocktail hour) but we could extend it until 11pm for a couple hundred extra for the bar package. I know it's only 30 minutes but I'm just wondering if 5.5 hours is pushing it on how much...

Celia, in an older thread I remember you mentioning that you had a file or link for off beat wedding readings. We are looking for something a little quirky. Could you share that list?
