Well I remembered to order flower petals from the florist but forgot to order anything to put them in. My wedding is Saturday so I think I'm going to have to go to a store at some point during our trip across the country. Is the only option David's...

We are having FH's 5 nieces and 3 nephews all be in our wedding. We are basically treating them all as flower girls/ring bearers, but the oldest kids are 10 so I'd like to give them a slightly different title in the program. I was thinking of...

We want to include our parents after the bridal party processes. This is what we have figured out: My mom & step-dad FH & his mom (his dad is deceased so he wants to escort his mom) My step-mom & ???? (since my dad will be walking with me) Question...

We were planning on just doing wine and beer for our wedding, but I'm nervous there will be unhappy guests if we have no liquor available. Our bartender is just an employee of the venue, which is basically a summer camp, so I don't want him or her to...

FH wants a garter toss. I wasn't going to wear one. Help!

This is sort of dumb but how does this happen? I don't have a MOH but have six bridesmaids. FH has a best man so I think he is planning on his making a speech. Do we just ask the people we want to give speeches? I feel like I should know this, but...

I'm 38 days out and suddenly my head is swirling with details--primarily nuisance ones I'd rather not think about. BUT I saw these vow journals on BHLDN that made me think it might be good to read off of something other than a sheet of paper. I saw...

I am trying to make a list of posed photos we want for the day. My step-siblings and I are not very close (parents married when we were all adults & out of the house). Should they be included? One of my step-sisters just got married and we were not...

Everything with booking vendors so far has gone so smoothly, but a DJ is proving to be a huge challenge. The only DJ we've felt strongly about is just too expensive for us and FH only wants us to spend $900 on a DJ. We have $2000...

I feel weird even typing this post because I don't really care, but I don't want either my mom or my step-mom to feel at all diminished. When I was in town, my mom, step-mom, and I went to DB just to look at dresses for them and my mom ended up...

I just found out we are getting our engagement pictures done on Sunday! Yay! I have no idea what to wear so I'd love to draw some inspiration from what you ladies wore for yours. It's going to be pretty cold so if someone has fall (or probably even...

I'm so excited I'm going to burst! Background: last week FH said to me "well we can just sign the license at the courthouse so it doesn't matter who conducts the ceremony". Cue my concern that he's going to want a friend to officiate and the ceremony...

Sorry for all the posts but I am on a planning spree since I'm off work for a couple days. I need to book an officiant soon and need some guidance. I know Celia is probably around somewhere and can make this clear to me. FH keeps talking about how...

I just got my first real quote from a photographer and I'm confused about his terms. He said he requires 50% at time of booking, which makes sense to me, and the other 50% 30 days prior to the wedding. Is this normal? I was under the impression that...
