Krystina, on September 14, 2021 at 2:34 PM

Veils! When did you lift the blusher on your veil?
Rosie, on September 8, 2021 at 9:22 PM

Dogs in ceremony

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone has involved, or plans to involve, their dog(s) in their wedding ceremony? I have three dogs, but I think I'd want to involve just one of them. Is that mean of me? My...

Alexia, on April 5, 2021 at 3:41 PM

So my dress is a touch too long in front but it’s too late now to get it fixed, I was wondering how to hold my dress up, my bouquet, and my dads arm all while walking down the aisle?
