3399 days agoHey brides - blast from the past here. I was just on Modcloth, which is one of the go-to sites for inexpensive white dresses. And they're having a huge sale - a lot of their tea-length wedding dresses are $70 and the long ones are...

3441 days agoWe were fortunate to have many generous family and friends recognize our wedding with gifts. We appreciate the thought and loving intentions of every giver....but for some of the off-registry gifts, we don't have space to store them and will never...

3448 days agoWe had a goooorgeous country-club wedding on Saturday. The weather couldn't have been more perfect (70 and sunny), the venue was to-die-for gorgeous, the food was amazing, and we were surrounded by loved ones. A magical day. There were things that...

3472 days agoQuick version - to add pops of darker color to a medium-size pastel bouquet (15-18 blooms), is it ok to use small blooms like spray roses or mini carnations? Or will they be lost/insufficient among the base blooms? Long version - I'll be making 4...

3475 days agoLess than a month to go for many of us now! Are you going crazy with last-minute logistics, or in the lull before the storm? Things calmed down a lot for us once we weathered the RSVP deadline 2 weeks ago and confirmed with all our vendors. We just...

3485 days agoAfter 3 emails on menu pricing with no response, I was about to call my venue director when she replied. Their internet has been down a lot this week, so she's backed up on ordering/pricing things. Whew.

3487 days agoI've only got about 55% of our RSVPs back (90 of the 170 we invited). There are 2 days left to the RSVP deadline, and my venue is already bugging me for numbers (they're not due for another week or two though). I cannot WAIT to start making phone...

3509 days agoFor brides planning their honeymoons, be VERY careful booking with house-sharing websites. I've used them before and it's been fine, but have had such problems with our honeymoon planning! We booked our honeymoon 9 months in advance, because we're...

3520 days agoFH put a ton of thought and creativity into designing my e-ring, and I love it. It means a lot to both of us. He was excited about picking a matching set of wedding bands, but wanted free hand to pick both of ours. I insisted on having a say, and...

3525 days agoI've been obsessed with photos of drop veils (the sheerest kind of veil with blusher). But none of the salons in my area have any for me to try on, or even mantillas that I can use to fake a drop veil. The closest I've gotten is trying on a veil with...

3539 days agoI had the MOST beautiful pair of wedding heels picked out...but when I picked my dress up, the heels were too high for the hem length. Now I'm having SUCH trouble finding closed-toe wedding heels in a 2.5-3 inch heel height. Everything seems to be...

3623 days agoIt's becoming clear that fiance's family aren't interested/able to help out with the wedding. Which is fine, I'd rather know earlier than later! But that leaves us on the hook for the RD, which has been rather an afterthought as we focus on planning...

3644 days agoMy family have generously offered me family rings to use as our wedding bands, with the intention of saving us money. We were so happy to accept, and I love the sentimental boost of wearing heirloom rings. My father's band is VERY thick which is...

3647 days agoA quick PSA to all of you getting awkward questions about your invites: sometimes it's a GOOD thing guests are double-checking your work. I had to be that person last week. My best friend sent invites to his wedding to all of my immediate family...

3678 days agoI was bouncing around another wedding site (I'm so addicted...) and read a post that got me thinking. I thought we'd keep things inexpensive and have a chill barn wedding with twinkly lights, photos against big nature backdrops, lawn games, no cheesy...

3679 days agoWhen I ordered my dress, the salon owner pointed out that a drop veil (which I prefer right now) could be awkward on the day. I want it to drape flat over the head, pinned into a low updo. The salon owner said if it's pinned very low at the back of...
