Hey R.J.! As we mention in the post, definitely do your research. You can also read this post: http://www.thebrokeassbride.com/2011/07/chinese-m... Be sure to check return, refund and exchange policies. Read reviews. Get yourself good and knowledgeable about who you're buying from -- education is key. Get yourself measured by a professional seamstress so you have the most accurate numbers in relation to fit. And don't be afraid to go to a few bridal salons to try on specific styles and see what works for you. The more well-armed you are to make the most informed decision, the less likely you'll be disappointed. And please let us know how it goes! xoxo

That's such a great tip, Danielle! Even if it's not an official DOC, if you have a friend that's good at being a bossypants, make sure you have someone who is willing to do some wrangling for you so you can enjoy the day you worked so hard to plan!

The Broke-Ass Bride : Real Bride Peach: Bridal Failure

Tue, 18 Mar 2014 16:30:03 +0000

People are assholes when it comes to other people's weddings (Mellz knows all about this). And you can respectfully tell them to take their opinions and shove it. Read this: http://apracticalwedding.com/2010/01/you-guys/ And this: http://offbeatbride.com/2009/01/copy-n-paste-conf... People are REALLY good at finding ways, any possible way, to complain about SOMETHING. But is it making you happy? Is it making your partner happy? Then go with it. Just because everyone has an opinion -- which they do, and damnit, they're going to let you know -- doesn't mean their opinion is law. Also, I'm relatively close. Let me know if I need to come up ATL way and kick some ass, because I will.

The Broke-Ass Bride : Ask Liz: About Holiday Weekend Weddings

Fri, 5 Jul 2013 17:31:44 +0000

I had a Hawaii destination wedding over 4th of July. People were surprisingly responsive, especially when they discovered the plethora of activities available, from Turle Independence Day to fireworks to children's activities. I find that if they know there are lots of holiday-related activities, whether it be a part of the orchestrated "wedding weekend" or not, people are generally happy to join in your big day and experience something new over a long weekend.
