I’m really hoping this doesn’t turn into a rant but damn y’all my feelings are hurt. A couple i am associated with through my significant other are getting married in the fall. They have been adamant...

I'm hoping this post doesn't result in negativity though I know I run the risk of attacks here. The title may make me sound greedy, superficial and ungrateful but I promise I'm not. I'm incredibly...

How do i share with family and friends that i have found a venue? How do i ask family for help?
Stephanie, on June 6, 2022 at 10:51 AM

I know very little about wedding planning. I am 30 and most of my friends and my 2 sisters are unmarried. I don't know how to share with family that I have found a venue and booked a date. I am also...

I bought this dress for a friends wedding this month, is this too much cleavage?? I showed her the dress and she said it’s fine, but I’m second guessing myself. It’s hard to find dresses that fit...

Friday wedding vs Sunday wedding.
Arni, on April 4, 2022 at 7:03 PM

I thought I was ahead of the game but found out that our date is already taken on most of our desired venue list. So now, thinking of doing either a friday or sunday wedding. 40-50% of our guests will...

Hi there! I need someone to vent to, commiserate, or speak to me on this. I have not many supporting roles in my life due to my family passing away tragically. I've been with my SO for 11 yrs. Around...

We've already done the big stuff of course (venue, DJ, catering, photography) but there's so many little details to keep track of now that we are coming down to the wire! Here are the details we have...

Are we being extravagant?
Lizandra, on May 31, 2022 at 3:18 PM

Hi! So I’ve just said yes and we are officially on the hunt for a venue and vendors. We started off with a very low budget that as I researched realized was just not realistic. So we upped that number...

Do people still do head tables?
Christina, on May 27, 2022 at 5:20 PM

Someone recently told me in a Facebook wedding group that nobody does head tables anymore for their wedding party. Am I just behind the times or is that not true? I don’t go to a lot of weddings, but...

Can you respectfully ask for a semi-unplugged reception?
Malia, on May 11, 2022 at 10:46 AM

I've seen so many posts in my wedding-related Facebook groups about photobombers recently, and it has me a little worried about my own reception! It is already implied that our ceremony is unplugged...

Cash Tips
Kelly, on May 13, 2022 at 9:58 AM

Do we need to tip in cash? I'd much prefer to write a check or Venmo. I don't want to deal with a ton of cash on my wedding day (or any day). I'm in the US, so most people don't carry cash anyway. I'm...

Delaney, on May 4, 2022 at 10:39 PM

Torn between these two colors. Whichever one that is chosen will be incorporating into the bouquets with white flowers (not mixing blues with pinks). Groom and groomsmen will be dressed in navy most...
