3606 days agoHi everyone! I wanted to give a rundown of my experience arranging my own flowers and bouquets/boutonnieres/corsages. As a disclaimer, I don't recommend this to everyone, but it worked out really well for me. I purchased three small combo packs from...

3625 days agoI'm on my minimoon waiting for my husband (!!!) to wake up so we can hit the town, but our wedding turned out so amazing. We had a lot of DIY but I honestly felt so proud when people asked "where did you get that bouquet/vase/etc" and I could say I...

3665 days agoSo I have had a rough year at my place of employment - my position was phased out last year, and I applied for a few other jobs over the course of months and it dragged out forever, and I didn't get them. I felt totally defeated. They moved me to...

3670 days agoSo over a month ago I went to a local seamstress recommended to me. I went alone, which was probably a mistake - my mom wanted to come but couldn't because of work, and I didn't really know what should have been done by my seamstress. $20...

3682 days agoSo I'm totally a mess because my FH surprised me with an amazing gift today. He had his friend (an illustrator/comic book artist) draw art for us and then he had it professionally framed. It's a picture of us traveling the world together - featuring...

3684 days agoMy photographer (and her second shooter) wanted to visit our venue to get an idea of the lighting. I've been anxious about all the DIY I have to do - I know I took it on and that's fine, but part of me feels anxious everyone will think my wedding is...

3686 days agoI am so excited! I wanted a birdcage for cards and have been kicking myself since last summer when I saw one at a church bazaar and didn't have enough cash on me to get it - it was only $5 but we had spent our cash on food (sad face). So last...

3703 days agoSo last night after going on AirBnB and searching for good destinations within a short drive of Pittsburgh, I brought up DC, and FH was on board! We are going from Sunday-Wednesday after the wedding. We are hoping to visit the National Zoo, and...

3711 days agoJust wanted to share for brides on the fence about Azazie - they just had a sale so I bought two dresses to wear for more dressy occasions. And I love them! They're well made and I am planning on wearing them to some upcoming events where I needed...

3715 days agoI've been going back and forth on whether to wear glasses. I'm lucky enough that my prescription isn't terrible so I can go a day if needed without them, but I feel like they're very much a part of my personal style. I have a lot of pairs from Zenni,...

3720 days agoSo I have been planning on DIYing my makeup - due to budget and also because I really like doing my makeup in general. I ordered a couple things - a setting spray and a new eyeshadow primer because I was out, and Sephora gave me a great sample of a...

3721 days agoI have been in a major rut. I am in my last semester of college (taking two courses) and working full time, managing the wedding stuff, and dealing with my father's treatment for lymphoma - but I have to say I'm proud that I've mostly held it...

3737 days agoSo I know it is short notice, but I went to a wedding yesterday and it made me want to get my flower order going. Fiftyflowers.com has 10% off until midnight, so if there are any other brides waffling about ordering it seemed like a good deal! Just...

3751 days agoSo I saw these table mirrors on sale at my local IKEA - they are normally $4.99 or $5.99 each, but I paid about $1.30 each! I bought a ton; I'm planning to use them for table numbers and also for bar signs/food table signs. This...

3776 days agoJust wanted to let everyone know - if you're looking for a simple wood cake stand, I love the one I bought from IKEA! There are two sizes - I bought the 14" stand since my largest tier is only 10", but they have a really huge one too. It is made of...

3798 days agoSo after seeing some buzz about Digit, I've decided to start trying it. I am saving for retirement in a 401k, and in general I'm pretty money conscious, but I thought the service's algorithms to find "extra" money within my spending habits is...
