So...my fear right now is that 100 guests may not be enough to have a fun reception. It sounds ridiculous I know. Our original guest list is in the 120s, but we have out of town guests, some people...
Our sign will be stained gray. Can anyone recommend the best pen for signing? Something that you have used that didn't bleed? This is a link to what we ordered. We got the largest size with painted...

This one's less of a trend and more of a tradition that some people are deciding to do away with! How do you feel about the bouquet and garter tosses? Are these still an essential wedding tradition...
our venue's tables So my venue is a fairly large space (holds 250) but we are having an intimate wedding (75 guests). Typically, they set the tables with 8 seats but I feel like there will be too...
While making our wedding playlist my husband and I went back and forth being finding our perfect first dance song. We didn't any "traditional" wedding songs but we wanted a song that would communicate...
Donuts themselves will never be out of style as a dessert - because they're delicious, duh! But how do you feel about the donut wall trend that has taken over pinterest? Are you into it or over it ? 🍩...

I wanted to do something Beatles but not "In My Life." I have a sister so a lot of the "no one compares to you" concepts hold me back a bit. I was thinking "here comes the sun" "The way you look...
