How did you ladies arrive at the decision for how big your bouquets (and BM's bouquets) would be? I am trying to find some photos of other wedding parties to put it into perspective but not having...

We got our engagement photos completed and we are pretty happy with the outcome. They only thing that didn't work out as well as it should have were our pics with the doggies (our dogs are the pits...

I know most photographers give sneak peeks of photos for e-shoots and weddings. When you ladies received yours, did you notice that the sneak peeks were of a lesser, similar or better quality then...

We are getting our engagement photos done this weekend and I am so incredibly excited! FH on the other hand, hates taking photos, but he should be more at ease since our photographer is a good friend...

We have a friend who also happens to be a professional DJ. She has done all of our friends' weddings and we couldn't have imagined anyone else DJ-ing our wedding either. Well, lately she has been a...

I had never thought about this before, but my dress is ivory - not off-white, but a TRUE ivory. I know that FH is planning on having black tuxes for his GM, but he has not decided on if they will wear...

I've always likes the concept where wedding parties had vases on the head table and the BMs and Bride put their bouquets in them during dinner as decor for the table. Did anybody here do that and if...

FH and I are both HUGE grunge fans. It was in it's prime when we were in high school and we have hung on to our love of the music and the fashion ever since. FH wears cons all the time and is thinking...

We've all heard that it is not considered proper etiquette to wear white as a guest to a wedding. We've also heard you shouldn't wear black to a wedding, but times have changed and a little black...

Are any of you planning on going to Europe for your honeymoon? If so, how did you book the trip, i.e. - did you go through a travel agent, or a specific website or "other."? FH and I originally wanted...

I am having the hardest time finding shoes that I like that don't cost a fortune. I am having my shoes custom painted, so they need to be a fabric (satin or silk), and it would be ideal for them to be...

I am thinking of having someone custom paint a pair of shoes. FH and I are both into the work of Alphonse Mucha and I thought it would be neat to have his work inspire my wedding shoes. I found a...

We are planning on naming each table after something we love doing, and then adding a small paragraph below about that particular thing. We would like to display these on sign holders, but I'm not...

We are in the market for a new printer. We would like to print out the majority of our wedding stuff - invites, programs and table signs - but it will also need to be able to print photos well. For...

Hey everyone - just wanted to share in our joy - we got a new family member over the weekend. His name is Butters and he's a 7 week old Basset Hound. We already have 1 fur baby (3 yr. old Beagle) and...

I have looked all over different websites and it seems like I can't find a straight answer to this. Have any of you had chairs like this for your reception? If you are using chair covers what kind...

It was absolutely NOTHING like what I thought I wanted, but when I put it on I started seeing FH in his tux and my BMs around me and my mom walking me down the aisle and I didn't want to take it off!...
