I just wanted to share for any brides working on attire questions, so far my bridesmaids ordering the custom sizing from Azazie have been very happy with their orders. I got this text from one of them today i told you i got the bridesmaids dress...

So I have been having a lot of fun shopping for my bridesmaids like it is their birthday, and I only have one left who is really stumping me. He is finishing a masters degree in public health and has spent the last year moving around to a couple of...

It's been a long week so I'm relaxing and doing some online retail therapy today by buying gifts for my wedding party. The shop like its their birthday mantra is truly a blast and I want to recommend Etsy vintage and handmade options as a place to...

I'm curious from anyone who has worked especially in event catering how much you expect to hear about food allergies? I have a bridesman who is allergic to a LOT of foods. I'm definitely keeping things nut free which I have discussed with catering,...

Okay I am working on my invitations now - what needs to go on the RSVP card? Relevant info below: 1. Our meal is family style, so we do not need an entree selection portion 2. Any other pieces you have found useful to add? 3. What is your preferred...

My bridesmaids will be ordering Azazie dresses in dark green. I am still waiting on the swatch I ordered but I was wondering for those who have used Azazie and allowed bridesmaids to pick their own dress, are there any of the fabrics that stood out...

Where are you all at? I got very excited seeing the countdown creep under 200 days! This week I've been signing my last two contracts (or at least last two major ones) - my florist and my hair and makeup artist. Everything is booked and it feels like...

I'm trying to price out the difference between buying invites from a site like minted or WPD versus buying a printable suite from Etsy and self printing. Anyone who has done this, what kind of paper did you use? Any suggestions on the process...

I always pictured myself in a birdcage veil but now that I'm actually planning I'm finding myself captivated by long (chapel and cathedral) length veils and all the photographic opportunities they afford. Would love some veil inspo pics and notes on...

So not an important planning question but I am wondering for other brides how this went. So this morning I noticed the first item off our registry had been purchased (for geography reasons I have quite an early bridal shower coming up so that's my...

We are getting married NYE which means a late timeline. Our website has a note that we recommend eating a light, early dinner but we will serve plenty of food to keep the party going to the new year. Thoughts on the below timeline? 7:15/20 pm Guests...

Okay I am having trouble with a decision. Since October, I have been coloring my hair a dark red shade (see engagement photo attached). I am not sure whether I should go back to my natural color for the wedding or not. I love this color, and have...

So my FH and I both plan to keep our last names but will use sort of a hybrid name when in the future we have kids so the name is a family name but represents us both. I'm not interested in reasons why not to - this suits us really well and we have...

Hey brides with jobs and no planner - is it driving you up the wall every time a vendor says I can do meetings Monday through Thursday between 10 and 3? (Or similar). This is purely a rant because I get it - one needs some boundaries between work...
