We thought it was high time we shared some of the most common questions we at TeamWED receive from our readers. There’s no such thing as a stupid question, other than perhaps the unasked question. We’re operating on the assumption that if one bride-to-be has written us with a question about wedding planning, there are [...]

Yesterday, we talked about planning an outdoor summer wedding and the special preparations that are needed. It seems only natural to do a full 180 today to talk about planning an outdoor winter wedding. An outdoor winter wedding, you say?! Yes, we do say, because plenty of snow-loving brides and grooms want to get married [...]

An outdoor summer wedding in the great outdoors can be as picturesque and as perfect as you imagine… provided you take one eensy-weensy detail into account. Namely, the heat. Oh, if you’re planning an outdoor summer wedding in a locale that doesn’t get particularly hot (or humid) in the warmer months. Asking guests to brave [...]

Most wedding planning stress is caused by having to rush or forgetting important details. Being as organized as possible before you even start planning your wedding will help you meet deadlines and remember all the little things that make a wedding special.

Of all the wedding planning responsibilities shouldered by brides- and grooms-to-be, none is so universally feared as the creation of the reception seating chart. It’s a pain in the neck. I can be incredibly frustrating, especially nowadays when blended families are becoming the norm and so-and-so simply cannot be at the same table with so-and-so. [...]

Don’t automatically assume you have to pay full price for every service you’re reserving for your wedding. Many vendors will offer discounts on their wedding packages if you ask them outright, and others will create a lower-priced package just for you if you let them know you’d like certain services but don’t require others.

A bride with a big place in her heart for her pooch sent in this letter asking about including pets in a wedding:
I really, really, really, reeeeaally want to include my dog in my wedding. I know, it’s kind of tacky and weird. But he was my best bud for a long time before I [...]

Take away the wedding ceremony and the big white wedding dress, and what you’re left with is food, music, dancing, cake, and hopefully a good time. So how can the bride and groom ensure their wedding reception isn’t just another formal party? It’s the little [...]

Oh, how we here at TeamWED envy the men in the wedding party. Unlike the long list of bridesmaid duties one sees practically everywhere, the groomsmen have very little to do in preparation for the wedding. While the bridesmaids are folding invitations and calling around to shops for the perfect shade of shoe, the groom [...]

Planning a simple, outdoor wedding shouldn’t be stressful. The venue? Any open-air setting will do, like a public park or beach (which may require a permit), a friend or relative’s yard or garden, your own house, an arboretum, or the grounds of a museum. Guests? Invite as many as your venue can handle or as [...]

When approached with questions about bridal showers, most of us here at TeamWED think something along the lines of “Ah, bridal showers… what’s not to like?” There’s cake, maybe some champagne. Conversation full of gossip and giggling. It’s a serious girly fest. What’s not to like, indeed! A few of us, however, could think of [...]
