3008 days agoNow I know how all the ladies on here feel when they post their week-before threads! How's it going April 1/2/3 ladies? I met with my day-of coordinators last night and we went over everything....and I'm like "What am I forgetting?!!?" Everything is...

3021 days agoAfter over a year of anticipation and planning, the day is so, so close. Everything is coming together and it's hitting home hardcore that this thing is HAPPENING! I did my seating chart (which seemed like an acrobatic feat of not only arranging a...

3028 days agoI'm running into a bit of a conundrum here. The area around my venue is not exactly the most picturesque. There is, however, a huge, gorgeous garden/park right down the road from where we are getting ready, and it will be peak cherry blossom bloom...

3050 days agoLast Saturday, my FSIL and FMIL hosted my bridal shower. I also had my hair trial in the morning (and since I’m doing my own makeup, I decided to do a kind of “trial” on myself , too). I liked what the hair dresser did, but I think I want a more...

3064 days agoStarting an April 2016 bride progress post because OMG IT'S HAPPENING IN 67 DAYS! Because of the huge snowstorm (and being snowed in) I made so much progress. I did ALL of the centerpieces for our tables (mixed size arrangements of silk peonies,...

3084 days agoLong story short, I snagged this $2k Catherine Deane wedding gown on ebay for $50 when looking for a rehearsal dinner dress. It was too pretty not to bid and it was SO CHEAP. I received it and it is genuine and brand new. Now my...

3091 days agoThis may be a dumb question. My caterer says I should have salad plates (in addition to the 10 in dinner plates I'd already planned on having) "for overflow". However, The food will all be served in one go (salad included) and I can't imagine that...

3127 days agoIn a recent thread the sage advice you ladies gave me convinced me that a first look will solve most of our timeline issues and make our day more relaxed. However (and I do not mean to offend anyone with this...so I apologize in advance), I am not in...

3128 days agoCeremony is set to start at 6:00. It'll probably take 20 mins, but let's say 6:30 just in case we start late or run late or something. Reception site is in the same building, down one flight of stairs. FH doesn't want a first look, but will do it if...

3194 days agoHas anyone had a friend/family member (who got ordained through one of those online services) marry them in Virginia? I have looked it up online but it doesnt seem totally clear if VA recognizes their authority.

3197 days agoToday is yet another day that I am completely frustrated that my FH doesn't care about the wedding, and doesn't think he has to. It would be one thing if it were an event that had nothing to do with him--but it does! He wants to do nothing above the...

3250 days agoOur wedding will be right at the beginning of April. This year it was fairly chilly in April, with some days not getting out of the 40's. Historically, the low is 40 and the high is around 62 degrees for my area. My dress is a strapless ballgown and...
