What song did you dance to at your wedding? I need ideas.
They'll be fans but it'll still be hot. Do you pick candy that won't melt? I'm thinking: Jordan almonds Smooth and melty pastel mintsPop rocks
Our wedding is less then 4 months away and we just started planning it, is small (like 30-40 people) so I’m trying not to stress about it… but we need a venue ASAP. Any local ideas?
Hi all! How does everyone feel about the money dance? Did you do it and regret it? Or not do it and wish you had? Looking for advice because I’m really not sure about it. I would rather have more time...
Is any one doing a Viennese Hour? I am going to for sure! I would love to know what you are planning to serve! I am thinking of serving mini tarts or tartlets, blondie brownies with wedding colored...
