As the title says, we finally booked our honeymoon! We're actually getting married in Hawaii and doing a mini-moon on a separate Hawaiian island, so our actual honeymoon will be 3 months after the wedding. Since we're doing the whole tropical shebang for the wedding, we went a different route, i.e. Europe, for the honeymoon.

If anyone has suggestions for things to see and do for newlyweds, let me know!

I'm super worried about entrusting my wedding gown for alterations to a shop, but all I really need is a hem. Are there any trusted and highly rated shops for bridal alterations you can recommend? I looked on Yelp and found a few, but I know sometimes Yelp is sponsored and reviews can be fake so I'm just looking for some confirmation here.

Saw that some of you had been posting your cake cutting sets and things like that, and just wanted to share mine which I LOVE! https://imgur.com/a/fktPh it even comes in a package that looks like a slice of cake! Also my ring box too :)

What other little things have you purchased for your wedding? And feel free to share your cake cutting sets too! I have a strange obsession with them right now!

Hey guys! I’m doing a destination wedding in Maui and want to get a set of those cheesy “just Maui’d” shirts for our mini-moon. I know Etsy has one set that I like but it comes out to $80 CAD which is a tad too much for a pair of T shirts imho. I mean I could get it as a last resort, but I’m wondering if there’s a way to print my own shirt? I know places like VistaPrint have that, but I’m concerned with the cut of their shirts... I’m looking for mine to be a slouchy relaxed fit, rather than the generic T shirts they have. Anyone tried this before, or have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

If so, show me!! I feel like I never see this brand represented! (My dress is by them)

Hey guys! Can anyone recommend good jewellery brands to buy wedding earrings from?

I’m looking for something dainty but with enough presence to be a more special occasion item. Either drop earrings or studs, and preferably in rose or white gold. Other materials can include pearls or other neutral stones.

My price range is $100-$500. I’ve looked at Thomas Sabo, Pandora, Tiffany and Co, and Swarovski but have not found anything that I really love. There are some passable options but nothing that seems to go really well with the wedding dress I love so much. Also nothing on Etsy so far either.

I’m in Canada and retailers here are very limited. I saw some I liked when overseas in Asia but n

Hi everyone! First off I wanted to say that I love looking at all of your amazing projects on here!

I would love to start making amigurumi myself but it’s been so overwhelming to start. I tried to learn how to make a magic circle and I sort of got it..but not really. A lot of the YouTube tutorials seem to assume you’d already know how to crochet.

Does anyone recommend any resources, or any order for how to learn and what to learn first? What basics do I need to know first? At what point can I try to do a pattern? Thanks so much!

Edit- thanks for all the super helpful comments everyone!

I'm doing a destination wedding in Hawaii, and I'm not sure how to go about my hair trial. Makeup I might do mostly myself as I am extremely picky, but hair will be done by a stylist. My question is, how do I schedule the trial? It will be at a resort and I will only be there at max a few days early, but that seems kind of a very tight timeline...

Fellow destination brides, how are you planning your makeup/hair trials?

I'm having a fairly small wedding, family only. Almost everyone will be Chinese and I don't anticipate there's going to be any dancing going on... only the younger generation family members would probably want to dance and I just thought it's not worth having a mostly empty dance floor.

However, once my fiancé told me he always envisioned us doing our wedding first dance to a certain song that I thought was romantic and perfect, and I'm sad I won't be able to have that moment. (He doesn't seem to mind)

I've thought about using it as a recessional song but it's a pop song and my ceremony music will be done by a Hawaiian guitar soloist so I don't see that working.

Is there anywhere else in

Hello everyone! I am planning my wedding for the 1st time and it is a destination wedding in Hawaii. I am trying to book a venue through a resort (the Fairmont Orchid) for the ceremony and reception and I found some parts of the contract confusing. Of course, some of these questions I will be directing to the venue coordinator, but I was hoping to get some of your input and wisdom as well!

Please see the contract here -- I've highlighted some parts I find confusing - [removed]

1. Is it normal for them to ask for everything to be paid for up front, a month before the wedding happens?

2. They split the wedding package fee and catering into periodic deposits, so the last payment to be made

I'm having a destination wedding during spring break, so all the guests will be flying there and taking vacation to attend. As such I didn't think the day of the week mattered, and chose middle of the week Tuesday for the wedding. Is this weird? Everyone else seems to be having their weddings on Saturday, or at least Friday :/ I just didn't see the point when I could be saving at least $2500 by having it on a weekday...
