For those of you that used a printing service other than your photographer's or for the photographers out there, what printing service/company would you recommend? I got my pics but to order them through my photographer's website is super expensive....

Hi all. I started looking into the cost and process of cleaning and preserving my wedding dress. One wedding dress shop charges $235 to send it to get cleaned and preserved and it is shipped directly to me already preserved. I think the price...

So I bought some escort cards from Michaels and thought I'd be able to find a template online but I can't find one. For those of you that printed them yourself how did you do it? I don't have fancy software so if that's required I guess I'm screwed. ...

My DOC was supposed to do my floral arrangements in addition to typical DOC duties. Well I wound up “relieving” her of the floral design duties because she didn’t give me a good feeling about knowing what she was doing and has been super disorganized...

Ladies....i don't know if this is a post seeking advice as much as it is a need to speak to people other than my family and friends. I've had 2 trials with 2 different people and $240 later I'm not happy with either. Part of the problem is...

Question...I know you have to put down a deposit to book your makeup artist for the day of the wedding but have you ladies encountered being asked for a deposit for the trial itself? I had one trial already which I wasn't crazy about (hence why I'm...

Looking for a scent that's not too fruity, not too floral and not so strong people will smell me a mile away. Years ago I used to own Amber by Marc Jacobs and VS by Versace. I loved those both so much but they stopped making them and I haven't been...

I'm struggling with whether to DIY flowers or not for my reception for about 50-60 guests. I'm only having 6 tables with a few bud vases at each table plus a sweetheart table. I have 3 options 1- DIY it completely but I'm doing the math by looking at...

Anyone spray paint there lanterns gold? I bought cheap ones from Ikea but the black ones. I had a change of heart and think I want them gold so will probably return them for the white ones and spray paint them...any advice? Lessons learned from your...

My dress is ivory with a little bit of silver bling around the neckline. I was looking at the Badgley ivory shoes but most of their brooches have silver jewels set in gold. I can't seem to find ivory with silver only. What do you guys think? Should I...

So earlier today someone posted a topic about photos of details and I was so enamored by so many of these shots of details that it made me think....oh crap...who's gonna do that for my wedding? So I'm curious who did all the details/decor for your...

I'm at a loss for where to even start looking. I only need earrings and a bracelet and possibly hair jewelry. I'm not looking to spend that much either but I know that's all relative. Any ideas/input?

Just wondering everyone's experience with one person doing both hair and makeup versus two separate people? It's obviously easier to have one person do it all but I wonder whether the quality will be as good as opposed to having one dedicated m/u...

Looking to cut costs where possible and was thinking this could be a way because we're not having a bridal party nor doing a grand exit so really would just need a car to get me and my parents from home to the ceremony and then me and my FH from...

What's the best way to contact vendors? I have to say I haven't had much luck reaching out to vendors via WW. I have less than a 50% response rate. I usually give the basics...date, location, guest count etc and ask for more info on pricing,...
