dragonfly726, on September 21, 2011 at 1:00 PM

All along, I had planned to have my 3 FGs toss fall leaves instead of rose petals, and I even preserved some last fall. Looking through my stuff, I really don't think I have enough leaves for 3 FGs. I...

Just stopped by a local florist to pick up some hydrangeas to do a test run of the centerpieces this weekend. She mentioned that pewter was bad for flowers. And that I should not place real flowers...

What's your choice of false eyelashes for your wedding day?
T & Co, on August 27, 2013 at 8:40 PM

I have tried a few and yet found one that actually looks natural. I tried shumeura's farfillina which is not bad. Wispiness by Ardell, singular lashes by quo which takes forever. What else is good?

Drinking glasses instead of a candle votive
kellie, on August 28, 2013 at 12:27 PM

I saw on another site where a bride used drinking glasses from IKEA for her centerpiece rather than using candle votives (vases?). It looked beautiful as she had 6 on each table at various heights. I...

How much fabric would I need to complete this look?
Kim, on August 21, 2013 at 7:18 PM

So to dress up the head table a bit, I wanted to re-create this look I saw on Pinterest. Our chairs are mahogany chiavari chairs with ivory seat cushions. My question is, how much fabric (chiffon) do...

Flower petal alternatives??
Amber, on August 18, 2013 at 1:39 PM

Our venue has let us know that we're not allowed to use flower petals when walking down the aisle (it's a conserved nature area) - and we've got three flower girls. What the heck do you think we could...

MARCELLA, on August 19, 2013 at 2:42 PM

Do you guys think that buying a champagne fountain is cheaper than renting one. Pros and cons. Rents for 300.00 for 2-3 hours
