Wedding reception send off! Any unique ideas?
Renee, on September 20, 2021 at 8:46 PM

We are probably going to do the LED batons because our venue is located inside a State Park. As much as I love those sparklers. I know they are going to say no for fire hazard reasons. Anyone else...

Bibs for bbq buffet dinner?
Bride2Be, on September 20, 2021 at 12:56 PM

We are doing a bbq buffet for dinner and I was wondering if anyone has seen or had bibs or an apron over their dress? I’m a messy eater and I don’t wanna get ANYTHING on my white dress!

Be the first to get ready- makeup hair dress, everything. Have everything laid out for the photographer the day before. Don’t be responsible for anything that day. I recommend having the first look....

What current trends are you not including?
Michelle, on July 11, 2021 at 2:22 PM
