0 answersIs it okay to skip the dance floor at our wedding?
We are planning a restaurant reception for 100 guests but neither of us likes to dance, and our families aren't big on it either. We want the night to feel like a dinner party focused on great food rather than a traditional party. We are considering replacing the dance floor with a dedicated conversation lounge or a space for our live illustrator, but we want to make sure the evening still feels celebratory and not just like a quiet dinner.

3 answersHow far in advance do I actually need to order my wedding dress for a wedding?
I found a dress I love, but the boutique is suggesting I buy now to allow for production and alterations. I still have another appointment in a few weeks to try on a specific style I’ve had my eye on, but I am worried that waiting until the end of the month might be cutting it too close. I need to know if buying nine months out is a genuine requirement or if I am being pushed into a decision earlier than necessary.

6 answersWhat actually happens at a normal wedding from start to finish?
We are planning our own big day but realised we have never actually been to a wedding before. We have the budget sorted, but we are a bit lost on the actual timeline. We want to know how a non-religious ceremony leads into a buffet reception and how long each part typically lasts so we aren't just guessing based on what we see on TV.
