This didn’t cross my mind until now, our ceremony and reception will be outdoors (backyard wedding) in May and mosquitos are bad here. I’m probably going to contact a company soon to look into having...

Wedding times
Samantha, on June 21, 2021 at 1:57 PM

My wedding starts at 4 and ends at 11. I'm trying to think of clever ways to come up with the phrases to go with the times to write on our board. What does y'alls look like?

Chantelle, on June 5, 2021 at 11:07 AM

Sorry I know this is probably asked a lot, but I’m wondering what bridesmaids gifts that you’ve received/given turned out actually useful? I’m thinking to get my girls makeup bags (each in their own...

Has anyone had or are planning a New Year's Eve wedding? Is it hard to book vendors because it's a holiday?

When Did You See Your Spouse On Your Wedding Day?
Soon2Bemarried, on June 17, 2021 at 1:50 PM

Did you wait to see each other at the aisle or did you get a sneak peek of your spouse before your ceremony began? Photographer is now asking us which we prefer for portraits and I’m undecided.

Please share your ridiculous wedding stress dreams! I get them on the regular. Last night I dreamt that I forgot my wedding dress and wore joggers down the aisle instead. 🙄😂 Let’s hear ‘em!

Have any of you used Classic Photographers?
Gwendolyn, on June 21, 2021 at 10:23 AM

I'm 28(!) days out now, and among some other chaos (my pastry chef just resigned on Friday, leaving me with no cake) I haven't yet heard from CP. I did my worksheet a few months ago, and have updated...

Super affordable Wedding?
Brittany, on March 3, 2021 at 11:27 AM

So I’m recently engaged. We wanted to get married in April 2022. We aren’t super picky about where we have our wedding, as long as it isn’t a courthouse. But here’s the problem: we are really trying...

Did you settle when choosing a venue?
H, on November 8, 2017 at 10:34 AM

What is going in your ‘day of’ bag for the wedding (i.e. bandaids, bobby pins) and who is responsible for it (including things like your phone)? I am thinking of possibly giving this all to my mother...
