Hi! My engagement photo session is the end of June, outside at a garden. With the Maryland summer having the potential to be hot and humid, what would you recommend wearing?
So my bachelorette party is June 1st, and I have no idea what to get for the hostesses. They are not my bridesmaids/MOH because we are having a small wedding, and I’ll only have my sister/MOH standing...

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding hostess gifts. I had zero hand in the planning of my bridal shower (technically I wasn't even supposed to know the date, but I now know the date and location)....

I don't mean to be offensive to anyone, it's just always been my take on bridal showers-I don't understand them or really think they are necessary. Is anyone else not having a shower? My friends and...

I posted something similar for my bridal shower. Would it be weird to have my bachlorette party 5-6 months prior to the wedding. I would like to have a pool or beach present and since I am getting...
