Do you believe in the bridesmaid curse? Supposedly if you’re a BM more than three times, you’re destined to be single for the rest of your life. I’ve been the BM twice already; first I was the MOH for my only female paternal cousin, and recently for one of my three bestest friends in the world. And, I’m currently being reserved for one more.

My…

From the extremely close poll results, it looks like you guys were just as torn over the dress dilemmas as I was. Well, I’m happy to announce that I’ve made my decisions!

In regards to where I should get my dress altered, you voted

I did some more research and inquired at a handful of Manhattan-based tailors who specialize in bridal alterations.

Glenda of Manhattan -…

Earlier this year, Hewlett Packard introduced digital cameras with a “slimming feature” that takes 10-15 pounds off the subject in the photo.

In my mad scramble to make crafts, find a new makeup person, and see Mr. Caterpillar off to his first week of school, I seem to have forgotten to find a brooch for my dress.

I kind of love this one from Doyle & Doyle.

I should probably go with something less goth and less than a thousand dollars. Any suggestions?

Do you think you can cover the “etiquettes” of a destination wedding?

My fiance and I are finding contradicting information on what we need to provide for our guests. We want to do it right for our guests, but we also don’t want to go over the top if we don’t need to.

I would also like to note that our wedding is at the Outerbanks,…

We featured last year’s Toilet Paper Dress winners from a contest sponsored by Cheap Chic Weddings, but this year’s entries are even more amazing!

I am so confused.

I could have sworn that I had only invited at most 95 people, but when I just updated my guest list on The Knot, it says that I invited 108 people. Woah.

I know for a fact that several of those who are invited will not come. I thought it was better to send out invitations out of courtesy than not to send…

One of you lovely readers asked me where I got the cute envelopes for my bridesmaid newsletter. The answer is: Blick - it’s a paint / craft store. I think they have good prices for paints and such, but honestly their stationery is a bit overpriced. Another good place to go if you are looking for arts and crafts supplies is Pearl Paint. The one…

Because my husband and I already had an established home (we’d lived together more than two years), we decided to have a honeymoon (HM) registry for our wedding.

Prior to setting up the HM registry I asked my friends their opinions, knowing that it’s an untraditional option. They thought it was a great idea! They understood that we wouldn’t need much else to…

There’s an interesting Wall Street Journal article about how ipods are taking the place of traditional DJ’s at weddings because they cost less, enable couples to have more control over the music, and new ipod compatible equipment is making it easier than ever.

The rising popularity of ipods as djs has its detractors, namely, djs of course.

DJs say that despite the convenience and cost efficiency…

She made these. WHAT??!?! WOW… what else is there to say?

I’m so glad Mrs. Bee posted about how many brides have difficulties choosing their colors. I literally had a panic attack (OK, not literally…) about my own colors — or lack thereof — last night. I am soooooooo confused! Can anyone out their help me?

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I think I am going to use teal dresses, and was leaning towards light muted blue table cloths with white or…

My invitations! I am thrilled to say that at around 6:00 last night my invitation guru Shana called to let me know that my invites had arrived and were at the Wedding Library. By happy coincidence, Mr. Daisy and I were en route to a meeting a mere couple of blocks from the Library, with the umpteenth another officiant in our ongoing search, so planned to…

I love lanterns. The vibrant colors, the faint glow that they cast across the room. They set such a romantic, and festive ambiance to a space. They can turn your plain Jane white room, into a warm and lively space. Here are some lanterns I came across while looking for some to use to decorate my space. I’m having my reception at a Chinese banquet…
