'Too much colour' or just different?
"Your colour scheme should have no more than four colours." Its apparently a rule. My wedding is fused with Indian culture, so it has well over four colours, but I keep getting told this 'rule' and its making me nervous. We have saris as table cloths, gold candle holders, a range of other items in other shades. Is it possible to pull off a full range of colour? Or is it just too much?

7 answersDo Indian hand fastening ceremonies carry religious significance?
We are considering having a hand fastening done in India before our wedding, for relatives there. We are concerned the beliefs behind the Indian ceremony may clash with our own, but I haven't been able to find much information. I don't want to commit until I know that I'm comfortable with it. Does anyone know if this ceremony is based in religion, or is it simply cultural?

5 answersHow do I get around awkward clashes when seating guests?
I'm planning seating for my reception, but a few of my guests can't be seated together. We have 12 seats per (long) table - is it acceptable to seat these guests at the same table, far apart? I don't like catering for their disagreements, but I don't want a fight -even a small one - at my wedding.

6 answersBridesmaid and Pregnant
My best friend asked me to be her bridesmaid over 12 months ago. I just found out I am pregnant with baby #2 and will be roughly 7 months along for the big day. I am nervous about telling her because I don't want her to feel like I've ruined her day. She's had a few things happen recently which haven't been what she's planned for her big day, so I've held off telling her until 'the time is right'. Should I trust she'll be happy with my news or have I put another link in her day?
