Dear weddingbee,

I recently tried to sell my designer wedding dress, veil, accessories, etc. on ebay with no success! Is there a place or website you could recommend that is the best place to try to sell your once gently used wedding items? I know there are several sites out there, but not sure which one is the best.

Thanks again!

Hello Weddingbee!

I journeyed over to Union Square last week for the infamous Running of the Brides!! And thankfully, I did find a beautiful gown for a bargain price!!

But now I’m stuck with details that bridal salons would normally take care of, such as cleaning, pressing, and alterations. I have some scuff marks on the gown and some of the embroidery has come undone on the…

Hi Bees!

I am working on the wording for our invitations and my parents have brought up a valid question for which I need some advice. My fiance is Peruvian, and as such, his full name includes his mother’s maiden name as his surname (Jose Antonio Silva Pasapera). My new last name, however, will only be Silva. My parents are concerned that if our guests (most…

I have a question for the hive. What’s a graceful way of offering entree selections on the RSVP, so that a number is entered for each type of entree and the total is one entree per guest attending? I’m afraid that if I use blank lines with each selection that they would place checks on the lines rather than write numbers, or they would write…

Hi,

I’m seeking advice on how to approach a specific money matter with my fiance. Here’s the situation.

Money has never been an issue between my fiance and I. Everything up until now has been separate, but now that we have shared expenses, I’m encountering an issue. Between the two of us, I’m the only one who has money saved up. I’ve been saving up money since…

Dear Weddingbee,

I was hoping for a few cute ideas for women with short hair. All the hair ideas I see in magazines are for long hair. I have chin length hair, and don’t plan on growing it out just for the wedding. It wouldn’t be me.

So I was hoping that maybe you, the other bees, or readers have run across anything.

Sincerely,
Maggie

Dear WeddingBee,

I have been searching for a wedding dress to wear to my destination wedding in August. Since we are getting married on the beach, I want an ivory, knee-length dress but I am having such a hard time finding a dress like that. The dresses that are short don’t seem fancy enough to make me feel like a bride. I know something must be…

Hi,

I am planning to go “DIY” for my hair. I have similar hair to Minnie Driver’s (when it’s curly), but shorter. I’d like to have big, natural curls on my wedding day and pull it back in a loose “bun” of some sort, without having the top too flat (my face is oval). I would love some advice on how to achieve this. I have…

Hi Mrs. Bee!

My fiancÆ’© and I are getting married in NYC at a church on the Upper East Side, and our plan all along was to head over to Central Park after the church to take photos with us and the wedding party. Unfortunately, we just learned that (a) you need a permit to take photos in Central Park (b) the permit costs $100, and…

Hello Mrs. Bee,

I was wondering if you or the other devoted weddingbee readers could help me.

I’m in need of finding green (celery or kiwi-ish green) bridesmaid dresses for my May 2007 wedding in northern New Jersey. I’m originally from Orange County, CA, and my 3 BMs are flying in from the OC and San Francisco. Originally, my BMs had thought maybe to get…

Let me just start off by saying that weddingbee is the best thing ever!

And now a question to all the brides:

My venue is charging me 1000 dollars extra to have the ceremony outside. They are providing the arch (which is really a POS), the chairs and the aisle runner. I am responsible for all the decorations. I was just informed that there will…

Dear Wedding Bee,

I am looking for a headband similar to the one on the cover of the Fall Instyle Weddings issue. I love how delicate and cute it is! Here’s the catch: I am wearing gold jewelry so I need a gold headband. The only ones I’ve found are thick and garishly yellow gold. Any ideas on where to find a thin, simply embellished, light…

Hi there ladies,

Your site certainly helped pass the pre-wedding time for me, and was an invaluable resource that I’ve recommended to many friends who have upcoming weddings. Thanks for providing a sweet and ‘real’ look at weddings… my web favourite.

I got married this past January 8th in Mexico, and I have a question that doesn’t seem to be addressed too much on the site.…

(from my sister who also designed the invite; me and Mr. Orange)

We asked our guests to write advice for the newlyweds on the back of the RSVP postcards. My MOH suspected that this may actually delay the arrival of our RSVP’s, and she was very very right. We have not received RSVP’s for 50+ guests as of yesterday, our RSVP deadline.

Dear weddingbee,

Please help! I’ve searched high and low, near and far, and scoured every inch of the internet looking for the perfect dress.

I blogged about it at the beginning of my dress-hunt, and I’ve spent every weekend (and even some weeknights) since then visiting all sorts of bridal salons and dress shops.

So, I finally found the perfect dress. Well, almost. I just found out that…
