Crate and Barrel Registry
Allie, on April 3, 2019 at 9:59 AM

Has anyone used Crate and Barrel for their registry? They always pop up on my Facebook Ads and I LOVE their stuff, but I've never ordered anything from there. Is it good quality stuff?

Unique guest books
Desiree, on April 3, 2019 at 10:44 AM

I’ve seen/heard of some unique guest books like the Polaroid guest book, have everyone write their bests wishes on a bench, using fabric squares then making it into a quilt. What unique ideas are you...

Two Precessional Songs??
Carmen, on February 28, 2019 at 12:01 PM

So... I posted yesterday asking what y’all were walking down the aisle to, and I noticed that a lot of you picked separate songs for yourself and the rest of the wedding party. Is that something...

Is this processional order strange?
Kristen, on February 28, 2019 at 12:38 PM

Just wanted to see what everyone thinks -Officiant enters and says something about welcome and unplugged ceremony- *Music starts -Grandmother of bride enters, escorted by my brother who then exits-...

Hi Brides! I'm on Etsy ordering a bunch of our wedding day essentials. I currently have a stamp in my cart to stamp our return address and name on the save the dates and invitations. My question is...

Videographers: Are they worth the price?
Alycia, on February 27, 2019 at 11:24 PM

I really can’t decide. They are hugely expensive. One of the highest costs in wedding planning. For those you who already are married, did you use a videographer? If so, was it worth the cost? Do you...

One point bustle
lilchameleon, on February 27, 2019 at 8:57 PM

My seamstress felt like this bustle with just one loop and button would work best with my dress. I’m a wedding photographer, but I’ve honestly never seen just one point. Anyone else having a bustle...

Dress designers

What designer is your dress by? I’m just curious! My dress is by Allure. Every dress I tried on was either by them or Casablanca. I love their styles!

What surprises are in your wedding?
Brittany, on February 27, 2019 at 9:35 AM

Do you have anything out of the ordinary planned that will surprise your guests at your wedding? Are you replacing common traditions with something different? I would love to hear what you're...

Thank you toast/speech.
Brittany, on February 27, 2019 at 11:06 AM

Are you planning to make a thank you speech? I would really love to make a (short) thank you speech after MOH & best man make their speeches. The speech is longer than a toast though and I really...

When to reveal the dress to husband?
Skyy, on February 27, 2019 at 11:35 AM

Sooo I want to have that moment where I walk down the aisle and show the dress to my husband but also makes sense to do a photo shoot prior to the actual start of the wedding in which he will see the...

Hello! I need advice/opinions/perspective on plus ones. I sent out save the dates in September for a May wedding. At the time FH and I decided that for couples our age who were married/engaged/ or...

55 days for weight loss?
Olivia, on February 26, 2019 at 12:57 AM

So, I’ve been stressing a bunch here lately and have put on quite a bit of weight (currently 207) and my wedding is on April 24th! How much weight do you think I could lose within that time frame? We...

Cocktail Hour
Olivia, on February 26, 2019 at 8:03 AM

My FH and I have decided to take pictures before the ceremony since we'll already be married by that day. Since we don't need the extra time to take pictures would it be tacky not to have a cocktail...

Wedding rings in pictures

I'm probably overthinking this but...I decided not to get my rings soldered together prior to the wedding because we are getting the majority of our pictures taken before the ceremony and I want to be...

What's your order of events after walking in?
Jolie, on November 28, 2018 at 11:15 AM

I am trying to figure out the best way to do first dances and speeches before dinner. What is everyone else doing when they first come into the reception?
