Calligraphy- are you doing it or hiring someone?
Melissa, on November 21, 2014 at 11:22 AM

I've gone back and forth on whether or not we should hire a calligrapher for our invitations. It just seems like an added expense when we already have a tight budget, and I don't even really know how...

Off the beaten path honeymoon
Jennifer, on November 3, 2014 at 8:47 AM

My FH and I just aren't lay on the beach kind of people. We are taking a 19 day road trip to 11 national parks, plus Portland, Reno and Vegas for our honeymoon. There is a "hotel" in Glacier National...

This is hard
Tia, on October 17, 2014 at 1:46 PM

So we originally planned to have 100-120 ppl at our wedding. We sat down to do our guest list & it was so hard to come up with that many people that we really wanted to share our day with us. Needless...

Kathryn, on October 16, 2014 at 1:52 PM

Just talked to my mom about the marriage license we got yesterday, I told her how much it cost and her jaw hit the floor! We paid $70 for the non-confidential license and have to pay $10...

A good book!
Koch Bride, on August 29, 2014 at 11:56 AM

With two weeks left until my wedding I know I probably should probably be going over the final details but instead I'm on a big reading kick. Has anyone read a good book lately? I really love...

How much are you paying for an officiant/JP if you are not getting married in a Church?
Lisa, on August 29, 2014 at 1:32 PM

I was just quoted 800-1200. That seems RIDICULOUSLY high to me. I'm looking to stay under 500 for this part of the wedding, which I know is doable because I've seen prices online while searching.......

Disappointed in bustle
Becky, on August 26, 2014 at 7:04 PM

I went for my last fitting today. I love my dress but I did not realize how long the train was (I honestly just didn't pay attention!) until I started going to my fittings. Today I finally got to see...

So we are just starting to look into photographers and a few of them charge per hour. Since I want them there for at least some of the getting ready with myself and BMs, I'm wondering what time to...

TERRIBLE hair trial last night...
*Mrs_D*, on August 15, 2014 at 10:21 AM

I booked my wedding hairstyling with the woman who has cut my hair for YEARS. She does a great job on my hair, and so I assumed I could trust her with my wedding hairstyling (or I could trust her to...

Stalking Weather
Nay, on August 13, 2014 at 12:29 PM

I have officially become a weather stalker. Our vow renewal takes place inside, but we're planning on doing our first look and formal photos outside in a nearby park. But if the weather is too hot (90...

Vendors do not accept credit cards. Anyone else loving this?
RhnCasi419, on August 13, 2014 at 7:24 AM

Wedding planning is such a learning curve. We are making progress by narrowing down our caterer and dj. I was surprised to see in their proposals that they do not accept credit cards. I was a little...

Glasses
Whitney, on August 8, 2014 at 4:11 PM

I've had glasses since I was 6 years old. I tried contacts a couple years ago but hated them. My eyes were constantly dry and itchy and I had so much trouble with my left eye. When we got engaged, I...

Where Did You Purchase Your Veil?
MrsLaguna, on August 4, 2014 at 9:04 PM

Just curious where you all got your veils, I bought my dress at DB and I didn't like the veils they had so I am now in the search. Did you get it at a bridal store, or online? Please share!!!

Koch Bride, on July 24, 2014 at 10:22 AM

So, who watched the movie trailer? Thoughts? I read the book to see what all the hullaballoo was about and honestly thought everything was pretty tame in it. The writing was horrible but to sit by a...

Has anyone done a sand ceremony?
heidi, on July 18, 2014 at 7:41 AM

FH and I are wondering how to pour the sand, as in the physical act of pouring it. We keep seeing stock photos that have this zig zag effect, but is that realistic? Is there a way to actually achieve...
