Hi! I haven't posted in a lonnnggg time. Life has been super busy recently. But, I was wondering how you girls have preserved your wedding dress. Do you really need one of those preservation kits from David's Bridal or somewhere similar? I've heard...

Hi! I'm in the final stages of planning and am trying to figure out who we should tip the day of. I know we tip the bartenders at our venue, but am a bit confused about our other vendors. Our photographer, DJ, videographer, make up artist, and hair...

Hi! I scheduled my first alterations appointment for early April, but found out I might be moving at the end of May. So, if I start alterations when planned, I'll probably end up moving in the middle of my fittings! Travel between locations won't be...

Hi! FH and I aren't registering for anything since our wedding will be a destination wedding for us (not my family) and figuring out shipping / how to get any gifts home will just be too complicated. Anyways, as a result, I assumed I wouldn't have a...

I'm debating between hair options: Option 1 - My hairstylist growing up. I trust her work, but we'd have to go to her salon the morning of my wedding (20 minutes from our hotel). She's willing to open early (around 7:30am or 8am) & stagger us so that...

When I tried on my dress, I tried it on with a plain, straight, white slip under it. The bridal store mentioned that it helps the dress lay right. Any recommendations on where to get one? I'm assuming I can get them cheaper than the bridal store is...

Hi! FH and I have finally narrowed down our honeymoon options and strongly leaning towards St. John, USVI. Has anyone been there? Any suggestions for places to stay or things to do?

Hi! What flowers will your mom / your FW's mom be using at your wedding? Our florist told us that corsages are traditional for mothers of the bride, but my mom really doesn't like the idea of a corsage (too prom-y). Any suggestions for an...

What are you including / did you include on your "must take" photo list you gave your photographer on your wedding day? I've looked at some sample lists and they seem to go into a LOT of detail! I was thinking of just adding a couple "must take...

Hi! We have an 8 hour photography package for our wedding and we're wondering what's the best way to use it. Our ceremony and reception will last six hours (everything's at the same venue) and we're getting ready a mile away from our venue. We're...

Hi! We originally chose to have our ceremony start at 3:30pm with the cocktail hour and reception to be held at the same location and to begin immediately after the ceremony. Our venue gives us six hours for everything, so a 3:30pm start time would...

Hi! FH and I went to a few cake tastings this week and have narrowed our options down to two. However, we're really torn between the two of them. Overall, we thought Bakery #1 offered a better design, whereas Bakery #2 offered a better flavor....

Hi! FH is looking for tuxes at Men's Wearhouse. Has anyone gone with Men's Wearhouse? How much was your or FH's look? We're trying to get a good idea of what's an average price for a rental look (tux, suit, tie, etc.) before his appointment. Any...

Hi everyone! I'll be flying with my wedding dress right after the new year (long story...I thought I might be moving, but wasn't sure when or where, so I had my dress delivered to my mom's house in CT, only to find out I'll be staying put in FL)....
