Why are flowers so darn expensive?
Tiffany, on September 9, 2012 at 3:33 PM

I have been looking to book my florist for the wedding. And OMG the quotes I'm getting are totally ridiculous . What is your floral budget ? Are you able to stay within your budget ?

How do you feel about buffet dinners?
kscha925, on September 9, 2012 at 8:36 PM

Just curious as to how people feel about them for weddings. When do you think they work well? Or do you hate them? Love them?

White vs. Ivory.. which to go with?
countrybride*H*, on April 18, 2011 at 6:35 PM

My mom brought up that she thinks that an ivory tablecloth would look better with my burlap table runners I plan on using than a white tablecloth. What do you ladies think?
