Shla of Plan a wedding, On June 24, 2019 at 11:06

Do these go?
Shla of Wedding fashion, On February 12, 2019 at 10:35

Does this wedding band look okay with this ring? I think it looks cute but have had others say it looks horrible. The gap doesn't bother me at all and it looks really cute to me.

Any other super small weddings out there?
Shla of Plan a wedding, On February 13, 2019 at 09:15

We're having a tiny wedding. Like 25-30 people and that's stretching it. Most vendors don't even take us seriously it's so small. Actually the more I think about it the more I get confused on what we...

What are your biggest planning concerns?
Shla of Plan a wedding, On February 9, 2019 at 09:06

For me it's vendors flaking on us or not following our wishes. Gives me major anxiety. It's so bad it actually makes me not want a wedding at all! We have had venues fall through on us because after...

When did it really sink in?
Shla of WeddingWire, On February 10, 2019 at 15:11

What part of the planning process was it that gave you the "Ohh it's actually happening/real!" Moment? I'm finding I haven't had it and it's like it isn't happening. Can't seem to shake it!

Long engagement vs Short engagement
Shla of Plan a wedding, On February 17, 2019 at 08:07

Popular wedding trends you don't like
Shla of Plan a wedding, On February 6, 2019 at 20:01

What is a popular wedding trend that you, personally, don't like? For me it's the whole mason jar and burlap thing and the "Mr. Right Mrs. Always Right" themes. The jars can look pretty but for me...
