I want my flowers to be bright pinks and yellows and purples and greens. Should I pick a neutral type color for the bridesmaid dresses so the flowers will stand out? If I want to go with brown bridesmaid dresses, which I think would work with my color scheme, what do I do about the [...]

My fiance and I have been living together for a year now. We just received a wedding invitation from his cousin. His whole family knows me and in fact this cousin drew my name in the gift exchange for Christmas so she obviously knows I exist. The invitation came addressed to my fiance and guest. [...]

My boyfriend and I are planing to get married in 12-18 months. I have never planned a wedding and don’t even know where to start.  

"Today I will marry my best friend" We are having a Hawaiian wedding and we want this worded on the invitations. I have looked at the sites where they translate a specific word, but there were always so many options. So if someone who TRULY knows how to translate this authectically, thank you!!!  

Do we have to make arrangements to take it all home? Or are they typically thrown away? We’re having floating flowers in water, so I don’t think I’ll find a use for wet flowers afterwards?  

How would one find a job in the wedding planning industry? What is the median pay for a wedding planner? Thank you for the answer Anupam K but I actually meant wedding planning as far as a career goes! That website was great but if you have anything more career related, I would love to [...]

I am looking for a three panel square wedding invitation with pockets. First panel will contain our picture middle panel will contain the invitation last panel will have pocket holding rsvp, reception, and direction cards.  

I’m getting married in Ohio in March (which is the tail end of our winter). We want real flowers, and our colors are blue and white. Are there any pretty flowers in season at that time that we could use?  

Ok, my boyfriend thinks a wedding cost at least 30k, which is complete bull crap because my cousin had a beautiful wedding for under 10k. I need a simple checklist of everything that will cost money for a wedding so I can put together my own little wedding cost thingy to prove to him that [...]

I will get married in 2 months time and I want to solicit for ideas on wedding invitation wordings. How should I word my wedding invitations?  

I danced at my own wedding and my best friend is asking me to dance a hula at hers. She wants a slow tempo (think Love Song of Kalua slow) and in Hawaiian. I do NOT want to dance the Hawaiian Wedding Song….any ideas? please?  

Wedding theme is sapphire blue and white. Any ideas? I don’t want purple blues (like iris’ or blue tulips/roses) or baby blues. Crisp bright blues and whites are what I am looking for.  

I purchased some Wedding invitations that included the envelopes already but I didn’t like them, so I wasnt to get another kind of envelopes, I think the butterfly flap would be perfect since I’m gonna use a wax seal to close them, does anybosy know a web site where I can get invitation envelopes at [...]

Also, how big is your wedding so it would be easier for me to put everything in perspective. Thank you!  

ok ive been looking around yahoo answers for a wedding check list and i just keep finding "timed checklist" ie 3 months-do this and 2 weeks before-do that. Im not looking for this kind of check list. Im looking for a checklist that will help me check off everything that goes in a wedding bridesmaid [...]

My fiance is no help at all when it comes to wedding planning. When do I need to include him and when should I draw the line? I don’t want to burn him out on everything before our wedding, but no one else will lend a hand.  

I always thought that when a single female receives a wedding invitation, she can RSVP and bring an escort. But a single male must RSVP as a ‘stag’ Am I correct according to proper wedding etiquette.  

I am having a Hawaiian wedding in May, and would like to have a spread of tropical/Hawaiian fruits at my reception and would like to have a nice variety including cocnut, guava, mangos, pineapples, etc. We are still in the planning process, so if anyone has ideas to contribute from a Hawaiian Themed wedding they’ve [...]

Out grandson is getting married. Our son is the father but he never married the mother. Our son is not mentioned as the father…..not acknowledged on the invitation at all. We are feeling quite uncomfortable about things. We wonder if grandparents will be acknowledged. I am concerned as it could make a difference as to [...]

I did a search but most of the sites I came across were very vague. Just any Hawaii customs that are used in Hawaiian weddings, which is what we’re having. We want the wedding as Hawaiian as possible  

Think of any type of services, any type of events, or products that would make planning your wedding as effortless as possible. Also whatever you think of doesn’t already have to exist, just let me know what ever comes to your mind first. thank  

I want something vine-like with flowers to wind around some columns or a trellis arch; flower petals down the aisle, and a few floral arrangements on the side of the rows (every other, every third row?) Also, how tacky would it be to have silk flower petals and silk floral vine for the columns or [...]

For any NY state business buffs, would a wedding & event planning, consultation and coordination business (set up as an LLC) be considered a "personal service" or "professional service" for NY state legalities? THX!
