Bad Vendor Experience
Rachel, On October 6, 2022 at 19:07

Our wedding was 2 weeks ago and there's one vendor in particular who has left an awful taste in my mouth. They have 5 star reviews on all platforms and were highly recommended in all the local groups,...

How soon after sending invites do you get rsvp's?
Jenny, On August 3, 2022 at 13:27

So we sent out invites a little over three weeks ago and I feel like I'm getting rsvp's super slowly - no one on my fiancé's side has rsvp'd yet and besides my parents and maid of honour only three...

Sweep Train and No Bustle
Rachel, On August 4, 2022 at 09:49

I had my alterations appointment yesterday and opted for a 4-6" sweep train as I dont like bustles and a longer train is impractical for our wedding. Now I'm worried I won't be able to dance with it?...

Are alterations more expensive in house?
Rachel, On January 12, 2022 at 14:17

I found the alteration quotes from the store I ordered my dress through to be a bit high. Something like $250 just to shorten the train if I remember correctly. Is it common for the shops to...

Scared to order my dress!
Rachel, On September 28, 2021 at 15:31

We have postponed our wedding three times now, so we have been engaged for 3 years. The dress I bought 2 years ago is now too small and I fell out of love with it. I think I found "the one" but I...

Jenny, On July 30, 2021 at 12:28

Cake or Cupcakes?
Rachel, On June 8, 2021 at 14:17

Our off-site caterers cannot accommodate cake cutting later in the evening and will be taking the cutlery and plates, obviously. Is it normal to cut the cake immediately after dinner? I'm thinking an...
