2793 days agoI honestly feel like if there's any time in your life where you feel the most gratitude-- it's while you're engaged. I have been absolutely overwhelmed with love and support the past few weeks. I am so grateful to have so many amazing people (and...

2794 days agoJust a quick question! I bought some custom stationary for myself for engagement and shower gifts. It says "thank you from alexis" on the front, so very clearly just from me. I was wondering if we start getting wedding gifts in before the wedding, do...

2810 days agoHi y'all! Looking to see if anyone has experience with taking out some layers of tulle under your ballgown. I absolutely LOVE my dress and the shape, but it is very large on the bottom. So much so that if I tried to slow dance or hug someone I'm...

2814 days agoHello brides and grooms! I've been using Wedding Wire for such a long time-- it's been an amazing resource for me. I know wedding planning can be incredibly stressful (I'm 85 days away and really feeling it now!), but I was hoping to get some...

2822 days agoI have my hair and makeup trial this weekend and I'm wondering if any of y'all have tips! I have some reference pictures and have great relationships with both vendors. After I'm done, I'll go home to try on the dress to see it all together! Any...

2829 days agoHello brides/grooms! Officially 100 days away TODAY! I can't believe it. One of the few things that I had in mind from before I was engaged was the idea of changing up table numbers to table "names". We don't have a specific theme for our wedding,...

2836 days agoI have my trial with my hair dresser in two weeks and I am completely stumped on what I want to do with my hair. My dress is spaghetti strap a-line lace dress with the back of the dress hitting around mid-back (with some pretty scalloped lace and...

2851 days agoAttached is my invitation to approve! Everything looks great (besides a misspelling of a FFIL's name that's getting fixed) but I'm curious on the "Black Tie Optional" line. Looking up the etiquette, it says it should be in the bottom right corner....

2852 days agoPinterest has surprisingly few wedding programs on there! I have a graphic design background and will be designing our ceremony programs but am unsure of what all to put on there. I've seen some that are super casual and others that are really...

2873 days agoI've been looking through some posts to find some help here, but I'm getting really stuck. We're doing online RSVPs and are including a "details" card along with our invitation. We're meeting with the invitation place this week with our final copy...
