2369 days agoSo, this weekend, I was doing a wedding project and all of a sudden said “wow, this is sort of hilarious that I’m doing this” so you have anything like that—something that is effort out of proportion to the impact it will have? Or an expense that...

2401 days agoI’m having a beach wedding, though we aren’t super informal (I’m wearing a gown). My mom loves bling. So these are her options now. We are both partial to the one on the left. She finds it comfortable and blingy without being overly blingy. The other...

2407 days agoI’m wasn't even sure what to title this. It’s not really a rant—more like sharing experience and wanting to hear others. But it is kind of ranty. I chose to have a smaller wedding in a venue with excellent service a 5-hour drive from me. Part of this...

2418 days agoHi all—I am planning a destination wedding. It’s within a weekend driving distance (5-6 hours) so nothing international but I don’t know if I will have time for a hair or makeup trial. I’m going there this weekend but will be with FH and honestly...

2419 days agoI’m looking for a belt, but given that I’m plus sized (street size 18/20) I’m wondering...will the pointier rhinestone belts jab my stomach? I’m attaching a pic of my dress (and sleeves I hope to add) and some options. I can’t believe how hard it’s...
