3643 days agoWe did it, and it went great! I'm just attaching one photo, not enough time to post a bunch. I just wanted to share my own lessons learned about the process of planning a wedding. For those who don't remember me, DH and I are both in our 50s, and...

3710 days agoSo today FH and I went to our wedding venue, which is sort of a private park, and spent a couple hours cleaning the bathroom. Yes, really. And we are still begging the venue management for the cell phone number (not a desk number, which is pretty...

3728 days agoYes, we have a fall back location, and a plan for when and how we will call it for rain, if we have to, but it is of course not our first choice. Accuweather now provides forecasts as far as a month into the future, so I now have this page loaded on...

3751 days agoEveryone getting projects going? Shopping for the raw materials even for simple decorating projects ate my weekend. Bought all the cylinder vases for my centerpieces, ribbon, placemats, table numbers. I bought unfinished wooden numbers and am...

3754 days agoNot down the aisle, but to the reception, etc. Phone, id, lipstick, a little cash. I bought mine on Etsy last night, am so stoked to see it. Vintage, sparkly! Kindofa splurge, but my rationalization is that since it's silver, not white, I could...

3757 days agoIf you are doing a test run of your makeup / hair, it's a 'TRIAL'. If you are putting on big clunky shoes to walk in the woods, that's done on a 'TRAIL'. I know many post from their phones, but you can do it! That is all.

3758 days agoI'll be dropping them in the mail tomorrow a.m. Yes, I know, a little later than ideal, but hey, that's what Save The Dates are for, right? It ended up taking more time than I expected to get my wedding website information uploaded so guests could...

3770 days agoCeremony location is a 50 minute drive from reception, in a bit of an out of the way place. Original plan: hire a bus to haul guests to location. Shopping for the bus has been a hassle, and the price keeps going up and up, as I weed out the vendors...

3771 days agoSo as a courtesy to my guests (and a stress reliever for me) I'm transporting my guests to and from the wedding site, which is about 1 hour from the reception and from the likely hotels. This way, they won't get lost or be late. (~35 guests). It's a...

3772 days agoJust ordered groom a linen suit from Island Importer: https://www.islandimporter.com/custom-linen-monaco-suit.html (this is a photo of the whole suit, but we were able to buy off the shelf pieces to make the suit) Is anyone else going non-tuxedo, but...

3775 days agoI bought a pair on Etsy, but am not loving them (the setting looks cheap to me), and have now looked at so many that they all look terrible to me. I am not usually 'that kind' of shopper, but I need everyone's earring inspiration. The way other women...

3776 days agoSo, I've decided that I've reached the portion of wedding preparation where every single day, someone will ask me a question about the wedding. It will be a completely sensible and reasonable question that I should already have considered and...

3777 days agoI read some great reviews of this vendor for groomsmen's clothing for beach weddings, but what I want to know is, has anyone on here ordered one of their custom suits? https://www.islandimporter.com/custom-linen-monaco-suit.html Vendor gets high...

3783 days agoI think I need to hire someone to coordinate logistics the day before and day of the wedding. However, I don't think I need a wedding planner per se. SMALL Wedding. Outdoor ceremony. 35 guests, family only. Slightly less small reception. 65 attendees...
