I want to wear my hair down with curls/waves. My hair is stick straight so I'm concerned about it not lasting, even until the ceremony. Those of you who wore yours down, how did it hold up? If it did...

Hi. I'm mailing my first batch of invites today and I'm starting to freak out big time because now there is no turning back (not that I would...but it's all the more real). I'm 42 and this my first...

Hi all. I'm struggling with what would be an acceptable tip for a few of my vendors. The florist works for a big bridal shop that does all things wedding. She has been amazing but 20% would be...

Our wedding is next weekend and I started feeling achy yesterday with a bad headache. More of the same today now with some nose and throat issues starting. FH woke up today feeling yucky too. I can't...

We need to pick an song to play when we announce the bridal party, family, and make our entrance to the reception. We want to just use one song. I almost didn't want to do th intros because every...

FH and the groomsmen will be getting ready in one hotel room and my bridesmaids and myself will be getting ready in another. We will both be taking separate trips in our limo to head to our venue for...

We are getting married in just over 2 weeks. Unfortunately we kept putting off selecting a song for our first dance. Other than for a wedding this summer, FH and I have never really slow danced...

Hi. My MOH is also playing music for my wedding so she will not actually be walking but will be joining us up front after the processional song is done. I have a specific order that I want the girls...

I have a little room left in out budget for decor, we still need some small GM gifts, table numbers, and I still need accessories. What are your favorite Etsy shops (or wedding websites) for anything...

I have seen references to a Wedding Wire timeline generator. Does anyone know if such a thing exists and where I can find it?

My RSVPs are due in just under a week on 9/1 and the outstanding ones are not rolling in like I have been reading they do. I fully expect to have to chase quite a few people down. So here is my...

9/26 ladies we are at the 1 month mark! It came so fast. The stress is finally kicking in. It seemed like there was so much time to finalize all the little details but September is coming in like a...

At what point in the evening did you have your bustle tied and about how long did it take? I'm stressing over the best time to do this. My dress has a chapel train with 13 ties and loops. We plan to...

Can anyone recommend the type of product I should put in my hair before having it curled for a down style that will help it hold? Mousse? Gel? Also any specific brands that perform particularly well?...

I'm just over one month out from my wedding and this weekend is finally making it feel real! Tonight I will hopefully be picking up my dress after the first round of alterations. I'm nervous that I'm...

Hi all. I was having dinner the other day with a group of people and one woman does wedding makeup (she isn't my makeup artist). She asked me what I was doing for my wedding and I told her I was...

My current pain in the butt is the rehearsal dinner. Our options are pretty limited near our venue. There are a lot of dive bars or expensive restaurants and not much in between. Luckily a new...

Does anyone plan to (or already did) preserve their bouquet? If so how are you doing it? I see there are services to do it for you but it is really expensive ($400 ). I'm just wondering if...
