Dear Brides-to-Be,

My name is Jenny Olson, and I'm a PhD candidate in marketing at the Univeristy of Michigan working with Dr. Scott Rick. We are conducting a study on money and marriage where we’ll be examining the relationship between how couples manage their money (using joint or separate accounts) and the psychological and financial well-being of the couple. If you and your partner participate in the study, we’ll ask you to manage your money a particular way and then…

Christmas ornament wedding bouquets, a Polaroid guest book and some hot pink groom's shoes are just a few of the fantastic details of…

A wedding will not be complete without the flower girls. The flower girls are members of the bride's wedding party in a wedding. A flower girl is generally between the age of three and eight.





The flower girl's appearance signals the bride's arrival. She is to walk behind the Maid of Honor, but before the bride. In most cases, she'll spread flower petals along the passage for the bride's service. If there is a ring bearer, she will be expected to walk down the aisle at his…

When  children are included in the wedding party – as ring bears, flower girls, junior attendants, they add a special touch to the ceremony.  The young attendants  will also find the reception fun; if perhaps a little intimidating.  Only you will know how involved you would like the children to be in the reception itself. If the reception will be a long one, with various  wedding dances, you may wish to…

Cypress is classy and fun with a scoop neckline, center V, and rouched waistband.  The back dips low and features a surprise open back.  The ruffled A-line skirt has hidden side pockets and a detachable (tie on) underskirt to take it from fancy-ceremony-gown to fun-party-frock in a cinch.

This dress is so sweet it will make your teeth hurt.  Larkspur has a gently scooped sweetheart neckline with side rouching and a low V…

I had such a great time working with Terra altering her $99 department store dress into something oh-so-wedding-special!  Although I do also alter existing gowns like hers, I always like to modify them in unique, style enhancing ways beyond just the perfect fit.  Terra blogged about the gown-alterations process, tidbits of which I have included below. Her wedding included some awesome one-of-a-kind hand-crafted details, and serves as fun inspiration for DIY brides.…
