Corset back right after alterations

Melissa, on February 5, 2018 at 11:52 AM

Some may remember my post 2 weeks ago about my dress not fitting right after my 2nd alterations appointment. It’s a corset back, and when I dropped it off for my first appointment just a few weeks ago...

Bas! And question...

Melissa, on February 3, 2018 at 8:41 PM

Today was my bridal shower! It was absolutely wonderful. It was more of an intimate affair, which was lovely. I had so much more time to go around and socialize with all of my guests. Also my...

Is it necessary to have a rehearsal dinner?

April, on January 29, 2018 at 10:02 AM

Since our wedding is on a Sunday, our venue has offered us the Thursday prior for our rehearsal. We are traveling for the wedding and so is our entire family. I can't justify everyone coming 3 days...

Parents not in processional?

Future Mrs.Scott, on January 28, 2018 at 1:00 PM

Can the parents just sit as guests or do they have to walk in the processional. We’re not having a wedding party.

Worried my dress doesn’t fit.

Melissa, on January 28, 2018 at 10:41 AM

I had my second fitting on Wednesday. He took my dress in at the bust and just took length off. It’s a corset back dress, which I got solely for the reason that I wouldn’t have to worry about the fit....

Melissa, on January 24, 2018 at 6:47 PM

Anyone have a good recommendation? I just got back from my second to last alterations apt and he highly recommended I get one to hold it all in.

Is there a non-rude way to say this?

Melissa, on January 20, 2018 at 8:27 AM

My shower is in 2 weeks. I recently relocated (pretty abruptly) from NY to SC, for this reason I initially declined a shower since the logistics and travel were too much to figure out. My MOH (sister)...

We are having a black tie wedding in a major city (with all the trimmings) and I put a photo booth on my list of vendors. We haven't contracted yet, but it should be about $500 after discounts....

Mrs. or Ms?

Janie, on January 18, 2018 at 11:17 AM

I've found different answers for this--if a married woman keeps her maiden name, do you use Ms. or Mrs. to address her? I know Ms. can be used for anyone, but hoping someone can tell me the right...
