This is a great Dear Abby question, as I know that many of you aren't interested in classic bridesmaid style dresses...

Q4 - I'm getting married on the Cape in September so we are definitely keeping true to a casually, chic beach wedding. But I am really not having a feeling for bridesmaid dresses. Do you know of any lines that make maxi style, long dresses? Something a little more modern in shape then just the traditional tee length style? This being said I have a range of... [MORE]

Another Dear Abby question for you... Q3 - I am getting married in May 2008 in a church. My bridesmaid’s dresses are a tea length dusty rose color. My STD were beige, brown, and rose along with my invitations. Where do I go from here and can I change my color scheme for the wedding?? What other colors go with Dusty Rose??
Okay, first and foremost...as an invitation designer who firmly believes that invitations do set the tone for the entire wedding, I also... [MORE]

Another Dear Abby question...

Q2 - I know you often have challenges and questions with beautiful solutions on the blog, and thought you might like to address this one. I have a client who is 50 years old, marrying for the second time, and looking for a wedding dress. She asked if I had any ideas for a dress for her... I guess that's proving to be the toughest part of the planning! : ) She's a professional, a new grandmother, and I guess a bit "matronly", but she's got a... [MORE]

It's been a few weeks since we've done a Dear Abby session, and I have some really great questions from readers that I know you guys will appreciate. So, let's dive right in! Q1 - I've been perusing your boards religiously for weeks, going back into the archives and waiting for your daily updates. But I've still not seen much addressing the problem I have: I'm looking for non-floral tablescapes. We're getting married on the beach in Mexico, and because the prices there for decor... [MORE]

Dear Abby

One last question for the day! Q. I hope you can help with some ideas for how to incorporate a wedding party into the ceremony. We have our immediate family standing in the front with us but where does the wedding party go? There are some family members that we definitely want to sit in the front rows but I also don’t want to overcomplicate this production. Also, have you ever heard of not having the party walk down the aisle but rather come from both sides of the room and then... [MORE]

Another reader question for you guys to tackle!! Q. I am wanting to have a 1940s wedding theme. I am having my reception at an unconventional place because of budget, and I plan on hiring a wedding planner to help with converting this place that will place people in that time. First things first, I am planning a wedding for 2009, no rush. I like the 40s swing era, because I love dancing and it is so fun to swing dance, even if you are not a pro. I am very flexible on the... [MORE]

This is our first Dear Abby in weeks, and I must say...it's a pretty good one! Reader and future bride Nicole, is struggling with a clear color palette for her upcoming September affair. Q. I've put together the attached inspiration board, but I'm having trouble coming up with a palette that works for this time of year- on the cusp of summer and fall.

A couple of our readers had some great questions that I was hoping you guys could help me with... Q: I was wondering if you could help me with a problem. I bought a beautiful lace sheath for my wedding, but I have no idea what type of veil or headpiece to wear with it. I'm not extremely traditional, and the overall vibe of my wedding is rustic southern elegance. I would love it if you could give me a suggestion. I attached pictures of my gown for reference. Q:...
