So we just had our wedding. The venue outside the gate is open to the public but past the gate, it’s private and only available to us for our ceremony. When our procession started, people stayed clear from the view of the aisle but as soon as I...

How many friends versus how many family will be at your wedding? Our wedding is starting to look like a retirement home party. Anyone else?

Anyone have mulling on their ring? We got our ring (round brilliant with cushion hall) and the outer edge has a solid line (had to have a line bc there’s diamonds in the profile too) going around and I want to mill that in hopes that it blends in...

If you have a 2-3 carat ring, do you wear them every day? Even when you’re just wearing T-shirt and shorts?

Hi! I’m getting a double layer cathedral veil raw cut and using the shorter fingertip one as a blusher. Should I get the veil as one unit with one comb, or get a separate blusher and cathedral veil that comes on two separate combs?

How much is everyone spending on your hair and makeup trials? I want to try 2 but they’re 250 each!

How early did you start your makeup and hair in relation to the ceremony? If you started really early, how did it hold throughout the day? My artist wants to come at 8 but my ceremony is at 4. That sounds super early and I’m worried my hair and...

For those of you with a 30-50k budget, how much did you or are you planning on spending on flowers?

Has anyone shortened or taken off the blusher to their veil? Did you do it or did a seamstress do it? Is this something easy for a seamstress to do?

How much total time did you allot for speeches?

Did you guys have your young (4-5yo) flower girls and ringbearers walk on their own, or did you have an adult walk with them just in case they have problems (or, refuse to walk)?

Our end time is 10pm on a Sunday. We have a 20min ceremony, 1hr cocktail hour, 20min speeches, and 1 hour dinner. When should our ceremony start? How much dancing time should be available at the end after first dance? We will have a photobooth too.

How much free dance time is everyone having after the first dance ends? Is one hour enough?

My dress is ivory. Should the flower girl dresses be ivory or white?
