What's your choice of false eyelashes for your wedding day?
T & Co, on August 27, 2013 at 8:40 PM

I have tried a few and yet found one that actually looks natural. I tried shumeura's farfillina which is not bad. Wispiness by Ardell, singular lashes by quo which takes forever. What else is good?

Flower petal alternatives??
Amber, on August 18, 2013 at 1:39 PM

Our venue has let us know that we're not allowed to use flower petals when walking down the aisle (it's a conserved nature area) - and we've got three flower girls. What the heck do you think we could...

MARCELLA, on August 19, 2013 at 2:42 PM

Do you guys think that buying a champagne fountain is cheaper than renting one. Pros and cons. Rents for 300.00 for 2-3 hours
