Kaye in Wedding Attire, on November 7, 2017 at 5:03 PM

Invitations wording
Kaye in Wedding Attire, on November 6, 2017 at 4:18 PM

My mother has decided she wants to make a major contribution towards the wedding costs. Most likely the only things FH and I will have to pay for will be the DJ, flowers and the photographer. It's...

Very happy but a bit overwhelmed. Did this happen to the rest of you?
Kaye in Wedding Attire, on November 3, 2017 at 10:36 AM

My FH and I have been talking about our wedding for sometime. We've had the venue booked for several weeks now. I received my "official" proposal on Halloween when he placed the ring on my finger and...

Theme planning
Kaye in Wedding Attire, on October 25, 2017 at 6:04 PM

I'm in the very beginning stages of planning and my vision is pretty much a hot mess of fall/ rustic/ country/ vintage/ old fashion/ classic. Is this normal? The flowers and decor are really throwing...

22 days of vacation = 10 pounds gained
Kaye in Wedding Attire, on October 25, 2017 at 9:07 AM

Oh dear. Just weighed myself and I have gained 10 pounds. Praying it's not accurate as my scale was acting like the battery was dying but chances are it is. I'm just so disappointed in myself. So it's...

Ok. You all have me worried. Alcohol question.
Kaye in Wedding Attire, on October 19, 2017 at 9:36 PM

We are doing a brunch at noon on a Sunday for our reception. Due to the early time, I was just planning on a mimosa and bloody Mary bar, in addition to coffee, tea, juice and iced tea. Is that...

Pie vs cake
Kaye in Wedding Attire, on October 18, 2017 at 4:31 PM

We have this great local bakery that does just pie. I'm having a fall wedding and am now leaning towards a small cake and 6 different kinds of pie. Thoughts?

Older bride makeup
Kaye in Wedding Attire, on October 17, 2017 at 1:30 PM

I'll be 50 when I marry and having trouble with choosing what to do. I'm planning to DIY my makeup bc I rarely like what others do and figured I had an entire year to work on and perfect my look. Most...

Sister question. No. Im not dropping her
Kaye in Wedding Attire, on October 15, 2017 at 5:56 PM

I've asked my sister to be my only attendant. The problem is that she had a very large brain tumor (thankfully benign) that was surgically removed 5 yrs ago. Since then, if she gets stressed or tired,...

Really lopsided guest list
Kaye in Wedding Attire, on October 6, 2017 at 7:01 AM

This is my FHs second wedding. He wants something small which is fine with me. I'm working the guest list right now and I will have probably 3-4 guests to his one. Is this bad? It doesn't bother him,...

Dj questions and music choice too old?
Kaye in Wedding Attire, on October 5, 2017 at 5:04 AM

Starting to interview djs. What questions do I ask? How do you pick a good one? I'm not much of a dancer and neither is my FH. I'm leaning towards old classics like Sinatra etc being the majority of...

So glad to have secured our venue! I thought I had to wait until Nov due to the information on their website. Glad I checked and got one of the two dates I wanted. Just $1200 for the whole day....

Premarital counseling?

I'm 49 and he's 46. This is my first marriage and his second. We have a good communication style and have never had a fight in 2 yrs of dating. We have had discussions certainly, but never what I...

Grooms attire for husky naturalist
Kaye in Wedding Attire, on September 27, 2017 at 11:34 AM

My fella is amazing but his idea of dressed up is a button down short sleeved shirt. He's the kind of guy who will wear whatever I want him to. You have to love a southern man with a "yes m'am" on his...

Plus size bridesmaids
Kaye in Wedding Attire, on September 27, 2017 at 1:38 AM

Tried looking at David's bridal and I didn't really like anything. My MOH is in her 50s and is probably a size 16 or 18. I prefer something not floor length. Has any one found cuter dresses that would...

Rental house instead of venue?
Kaye in Wedding Attire, on September 25, 2017 at 10:21 AM

Have any of you rented a luxury home for a few days as your venue? I've found several amazing homes that rent for $750-$1200 a night that sleep anywhere from 12 to 26. The locations are...

Diy catering?
Kaye in Planning, on September 26, 2017 at 8:10 PM

I think I may have lost my mind! I was thinking of around 50 guests initially , but now I am leaning closer to 25. Do caterers even cook for 25? People do dinner parties for 25 all the time. During...
