I am getting married in five days! AHHH!!! Okay so first off, I am SO EXCITED and ready! I’m ready to get glammed up and party and I’m ready to be married to my best friend. BUT there’s still so much to do with so little time! I was lucky enough to...

Hi brides! A few weeks ago I posted about my fitting NIGHTMARE.. the seamstress took in my dress instead of letting it out (something I didn’t even ask for but she suggested). I couldn’t even zip my dress up! Needless to say I was livid and freaking...

I need some help: who do I decide to walk my mom down the aisle? Background: I have no siblings. My FH has a sister and she’s a bridesmaid. My father is walking me down the aisle. My mom is remarried. My FH will be walking down with his parents. I...

Hi all! I just had a horrible second fitting! at my first fitting, she raised the hem around the dress which has about 6 layers total. After, she touches the sides of my waist and says “I’ll let it out here a bit” and pointed to a slight bunch around...

Hello all! For those of you who had a welcome poster printed, where did you get it printed? I have an 18x24 welcome sign digital design and I need to print it. Obviously I can’t at home. I know I can get it done on staples.com but it’s $24...

Hi all! My bridesmaids have been amazing planning my shower, especially my MOH. I plan on writing them all a nice card and getting them a gift card to somewhere useful. When should I give them their gifts? At the shower? Or should I mail them? We’re...

Hey all! Question for you. Who does the FMIL get ready with, the bride or groom? My FH’s sister is a bridesmaid so she’s getting ready with me. I had always assumed his mom would be with him to help him get ready. I even told their hair stylist...

99 days and counting!! Yesterday was a busy day. I FINALLY got my veil in the mail (ordered on Etsy) and was nervous it wouldn’t match my dress. I had my first alterations appointment so I got to pick up my dress from the store and took it to an...

Just need to vent! We visited a travel agent about a month ago to book our honeymoon to Greece. He said he’d email us in a week and we’d go over it after together. After two weeks, I called and he apologized for taking a while and said he’d email me...
