So it’s done! We got married on Saturday. And we wouldn’t change a thing. Everyone kept telling us how amazing everything was. Thought I’d share a few things our guests loved. First of a big tip to anyone. Make really good food a priority. Our venue...

I’m trying to decide on what colour to do my nails. My weddOmg colours are dark purple (plum/eggplant) silver/grey (and some glitter) and white. My lips will have a berry colour that’s got a purple tone to it. And my eyes will have plum tones. Mom...

Something I didn’t think of. Are cupcakes ok being set up earlier in the day? I think our are going to be delivered around 3pm. We probably won’t be eating them until around 9-9:30. Is that too long?

I’m trying to finalize my timeline for our reception. Specifically related to the meal. We are having a buffet and there will be around 60 people there. I’m planning on cocktails from 5:30 -6:30. I was then going give about 10 minutes for for people...

So we had decided not to spend the money to hire a professoonal photographer. It just isn’t in the budget and we felt it was a lot of money to spend, when we had other things that were more important to us (good food, drinks, DJ). My BIL and nephew...

Ok need your help ladies. Instead of cake we are having a candy and cupcake table. This will also be our snack for people to have later in the evening. I’m going to have a sign with a cute saying on it, something like “Love is sweet please take a...

Ok guys I had our room layout figured out for our old venue. But now that we have moved locations I’m having a hard time deciding on a layout. Our new venue is being amazing and letting us have their entire ballroom that has a capacity of 200 people,...

For one venue we really like the package we are looking at includes 4 hours for the open bar. We want to use the full 4 hours after dinner (8-12). Instead of adding another hour of open bar what do people think about this for cocktail hour? Our venue...

So we were just notified that the hotel we are having our wedding at is being renovated. The renovation won’t affect the ballroom we have booked. But it will impact the common areas. Including the front lobby and pool just off the lobby. Which are in...

I had posted here before about finding out the hotel we are having our wedding and reception was also hosting a hockey tournament the same weekend, and about how I was upset over that and the issues that caused with the guest rooms. Well we found...

I’m having a hard time deciding on what type of music to play as guests arrive at the ceremony. We are having a DJ and getting married at a hotel not a church. Right now all of our ceremony music has lyrics. I’m thinking of walking down to “At Last”...

Ok I’m having a hard time deciding what to wear under my dress. It’s a December wedding so hot weather isn’t an issue. I actually don’t mind pantyhose (I wear tights and opaque hose often under dresses in the winter). But my one pair of shoes that I...

So this is a second wedding for both me and my fiancé. We aren’t doing any of the prewedding things like engagement party, bachelor/bachelorette, rehersal dinners etc. The only wedding part we have is our kids. But one close friend of mine really...

Has anyone ordered any dresses from David’s bridal online? I’ve finally decided I really want a second dress so I have something that’s not so cumbersome and easier to dance in. I’ve seen a couple things online at David’s bridal that I like. I’m...
