Expert Advice

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?

We're having a cocktail reception that is shorter than most receptions so there's only about 1 hour for "dancing and mingling" We're tossing up if a band is worth the cost if they are background music most of the evening.

I want to include some DIY decorations in the styling of my wedding - for example draping and table set up. How do I go about setting it all up? Is it best to hire a planner or coordinator?

Hi, I'm looking for a celebrant to perform a simple (yet still professional) wedding ceremony. I don't want all the usual song and dance or long storytelling - just a simple, sweet and short ceremony. And a streamlined process in the lead up with whatever legalities are required; no coaching, or coffee catch ups as I'm just not that kind of bride. Are there any celebrants out there that do this and are affordable? (Needs to be under $500) Thanks for your suggestions :)

Currently stuck on whether to start the cemermony at 2 or 2.30, is it best to talk to the photographer to see how much time they need for photos? And discuss with hair and makeup for their timeframe?

I've been told I need to start looking for my wedding dress, however I'd planned on losing a significant amount of weight by the wedding (9 months away) So my question is, do I look now or wait and how long can I leave it? Thanks

We have an informal venue already booked. Their in-house catering is not good but we can't bring in outside caterers. Have lots of friends willing to help. Having a meat/cheese/antipasto style buffet out but wondering what other options we could make ahead of time and bring in and heat up as hot canapes and buffet style meal for later?
