I'm an offbeat 40+ bride! My hubby & I designed an upscale DIY Pirates of the Caribbean inspired wedding in a Napa wine cave (then a 1960s "Rat Pack" reception in Temecula two months later). Amazing. Worth the wait to meet the right match; our wedding was way more creative than I could have ever dreamed. Happy newlyweds.

I honestly just feel so dumb right now. I have only been to one wedding over 20 years ago in my mom’s backyard for a little background on how much I know about weddings. I fell in love with this...
My dress still needs altered but do you guys like the longer or shorter veil better ? Thank you ♥️
My fiancé and I had a venue at a Spanish Renaissance style museum. Originally I wanted something fitted with a train. On where I completely changed directions, and ended up purchasing a full ball...
I wasn’t planning on doing a separate bridal portrait session, but our photographer includes it for a very small fee and my fiancé talked me into it. Now I don’t know what to expect. I won’t have a...
This is the wedding dress I'm currently looking for....but the website I'm finding it on. I'm not sure if it's legit or not. Is there a way to have someone create this dress or find it somewhere...
Did you have a say in your engagement ring design? Did you discuss your vision ahead of time with your FH? Or.... was it a total surprise (and were you happy with it?)
Hi all- This is a semi repost of another discussion what was deleted. I've come to love this general style of dress as it is suitable for my body type, but am worried that it is too plain and too...
Would alterations be able to replace the mesh illusion color from ivory to nude? The front seems like no problem, but the back and straps have lots of appliques and beading. Wedding is in 11 weeks! ...
I am probably the most indecisive bride when it comes to dresses. The one on the right was custom ordered from Etsy I love it but it doesn't feel flattering on me or very bridal because it is...
I'll be getting married in my fiance's hometown later this year. I wouldn't say that I am from the "city" by any means but I have lived a lot of different places around the world, love to travel, and...
Hey everyone! I'm planning my wedding for 2025, haven't nailed down a date yet but thinking either spring or fall. The band on my engagement ring is turquoise so I wanted to include that color in the...
Getting married this year. I'm quite opposed to traditional gender norms, but I'm also not queer (I dress like a not-very-feminine woman) and I don't have a big bold/colorful personality (I'm a pretty...
Planning to have a small, intimate low budget wedding however I cannot decide where to start ? Can someone help?
For people who have lived together already, how do you feel about wedding registries? Do you think it is still helpful to make them and if so do you prefer to do the traditional store ones or the new...
We have an extremely tight budget. Anyone else here with the same? We'll have a small guest list (about 25), only having a 2 person bridal party (if at all), and I found a dress that I may alter a...
I am getting married this year in the city where my parents live, mostly because the weather is much nicer and a big part of my family lives nearby, but also because my fiance and I love traveling and...
Hey guys, I am not in love with any of the venues we've narrowed down to. Should we just settle one of those since timing is not really flexible? Or should we just do a courthouse/elopement first and...
The holiday season has got me thinking about holiday date night ideas, and figured I'd ask WeddingWire for inspiration! It's the time of year when the Hallmark channel is full of holiday-themed love...
Hello! So we are planning on having a winter wonderland/christmas themed wedding next year and I would love some ideas
