I'am getting married there on July 20,2013. I need to know what is the requirement to do this. What forms do I need to bring with me and what they request to get married there. Thanks for the info in...
My FH and I have decided to have a camp-out wedding in one of the state parks in our area. We are keeping it pretty bare and natural. We looked into tents, tables, and such but decided why not keep it...
I wanted to do a spa box with lotion, soap, and some champagne to ask my bridesmaids - but I will have to ship the boxes to most girls because they are not local and I don’t want to do anything liquid...
I just wanted to share with everyone a very cheap way to do uplighting in your reception area. I am taking typical clip on desk lamps and using pink light bulbs. I have practiced at home to see the...
I just saw an article about brides using cotton candy bouquets. I am in love with the idea- but wondering how to execute the whole thing. When do you make the cotton candy? Will it melt? I need some...
Have any of you ladies tried adding food coloring to bubble soap to tint the solution to match your wedding colors? I want a bubble exit for when we leave the church and I thought it would be a cute...
On mobile so can't find my previous post. I asked last week about sola flowers I got mine in the mail and couldn't wait to try dying. I think they turned out okay. But the purple is a little light. I...
Hi. I am trying to get a little bit better with my budget so I thought I would do my own invites. I have a couple 50% Michaels coupons so i was thinking of these:...
I'm planning on using white submersible tealights in my centerpieces. I've seen some at Michaels and Hobby Lobby but they seem pretty pricey and small. I've heard that some don't give off much light...
Was wondering if any of you are doing DIY centerpieces with submercible lights? I am trying to figure out home to put the lights in the vase and keep it put and slightly unseen. Any tip or suggestions...
Has anyone used the submersible LED lights? I saw a YouTube tutorial using a vase adding the LED light with gems over it followed by a flower filled with water and floating candle on top. Was loving...
Looking at glass cylinders with candles inside, with some greenery. Fairly simple and tasteful. The tables are 60" round tables, that will seat 8 people each. Is there a guide to the height and...
I put together bridal, bridesmaid, junior bridesmaid, and mother bouquets for everyone. I know and completely agree with the advice of not looking anymore after you have purchased or completed...
Floral budget advice generally assumes the wedding party will all need some kind of floral accessory, but FI says she doesn't want bouquets, just a few centerpieces for the reception (maybe 2 or 3)...
Hi, I am wanting to have a light lunch reception. Some people might call this a cake and punch reception. Here's what I was thinking for a menu. A deli platter turkey, ham, roast beef Cheese plate,...
I am having a super small wedding of 25 people and there will only be 4 tables and 1 sweetheart table. My local Trader Joe's has amazing flowers - always very fresh looking. I am thinking I'll pick...
I know a lot of people here like Vistaprint; I have never used them. I've only used Blockbuster Print for work, but I do a lot of designing on Canva, from which I could also order. Does anyone here...
I was never big on the idea of spending thousands on a disposable thing like flowers, and they were never top priority on my list. For centerpieces, I really love candles, twinkle lights, and tall...
My wedding is outside at a shelter house at a lake. There’s a deck off the back where we are hoping to be married but the rain plan is to use the inside of the shelter house. We’ll also be eating in...
Hi all! So I'm having an outdoor ceremony in December, so I wanted to do blankets as party favors for our guests! Inspiration taken from a few pins with the caption, "To have and to hold in case you...
