Doing budget and guest lists and wondering what obligation I have to my OOT guests. Their weddings were more fancy and there were buses, lunches and brunches in addition to the actual wedding. They...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

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,...

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,...

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....

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...

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...

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...

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...
