Activity of Joy

I've heard of people doing dress changes and transformations, but has anyone changed footwear as well? My mom is lending me a pair of wedge heel sandals that she'd like me to wear (I'll make the final choice on Tuesday when my outfit all comes...

I'm at the point where I start thinking about the ceremony and how the day will go. I was thinking, it's traditional that the groom is already at the front, but where we'll be outside, I don't really want to have him be out there waiting for people...

I'm at the point where I need to get music figured out. The plan is to chose songs, and then ask musicians to play those songs. I'm thinking for music, to have piano, and strings depending on who is around and wiling to play (I went to a musical...

Long story short, I'm making my own thing, and it's blue and white. I'm using this blue here https://fabricville.com/products/textured-tencel-rayon-tania-blue And I have some white lace over top for the bodice. Here's a pic with the lace before I cut...

Just wanting to run this idea by others, but we're looking at making our place cards with coloured card stock to colour code our menu options and fit our colours (purple, blue, and green, all pastel card stock). Is that enough? As someone with...

I'm looking at what places sell bridesmaid dresses in my area, and so far all I've seen are David's Bridal, and Sorella Vita for brands. I was looking at a few online too, but they're often really expensive, or look really hard to wear, with lots of...

Has anyone ordered from Mood Fabrics before? They have some beautiful fabrics that aren't available at my local stores, but I'm not sure what getting their stuff into Canada is like. If anyone has ordered from them, please let me know how it was. ...

I've been looking at beautiful cape style veils on Etsy, and I realized that I have no idea what the lengths mean. Does anyone have advice for what length would be best for an outdoor wedding, and where the lengths are measured from? I'm thinking of...

I have chosen a venue, and when talking to their event coordinator, they have a minimum of 80 people and a comfortable max of 120 (but we want to keep it at or below 100). Is there a way to have a tentative RSVP on a save the date (or website) to...

More of a legal question than a tech one, but would I be able to use the images and assets from a Wedding Wire website to make invitations? I'll be doing both digital and printed versions of invitations, so I need to make something where I have the...

I have a beautiful asymmetric heart pendant my fiance gave me when we first started dating, and I'd love to include it somewhere in my outfit. The problem is that I find the chain on it makes me itchy, so I'd prefer to have it somewhere else. Where...

I'm going to see a venue this week, and I'm very sensitive to scented products (anything with parfum/fragrance as an ingredient), and of course most reception venues don't have signage or rules regarding scents. Where would I put a scent free...

I'm designing and sewing my own garment, and I'm currently trying to think of what the best way to get in and out of it. I'm doing a V-neck design with a higher back so I could do buttons up the front, but I'm not sure how that would look after the...

I've been looking for locations that do outdoor ceremonies with indoor receptions, hold around 100 people seated, that will accommodate food sensitivities and allergies (the big ones being gluten free, dairy free, potato free, and vegetarian option),...

How long is an appropriate amount of time to wait for a venue to respond? The initial reply with a form to fill out was very quick, but I haven't heard anything back after sending the form, via WeddingWire, and the email of the manager that was given...

I've been looking into golf course venues recently as they allow for beautiful outdoor ceremonies and photos with the reception inside without going too far. I've noticed some don't give a lot of info (some not on WeddingWire, some don't have a web...
