Jessica, on October 6, 2019 at 7:56 PM

Not sure how much to set as our budget so I’m curious what is everyone spending on their weddings?

Micro weddings seating
Crystal, on August 18, 2020 at 10:33 AM

So we went from 150 to 30 guests (including us). Do we do a seating chart for 30 guests? Do we sit at a table alone? Wouldn’t that look awkward? What did you do?

Is it Tacky to Use Fake Flowers?
BS_2018, on February 19, 2017 at 5:24 PM

I'm not very fond of the idea of spending a bunch of money on real flowers that are just going to die in a couple of days. That being said, we are going to do real flowers for the bouquets,...

Opinion: if you decide to elope, don't do a post-elopement party
Little, on July 11, 2020 at 6:35 AM
