Don’t miss out: be a virtual bridesmaid via webcam
One of Ashley’s bridesmaids couldn’t make it to the wedding due to health issues, so she was virtually walked down the aisle via Skype!
Rent a big yellow school bus for your wedding party
If you’ve got a honking big wedding party or a small number of guests and need a budget-friendly way to get around, think about using a big yellow school bus. It’s often one of the cheaper ways to cart around a big group (up to around 60 people), and adds some nostalgia to the trip. Plus, big yellow bus = cool photos.
Why we chose to have an “adventuring party” instead of bridesmaids and groomsmen
It’s about time we heard from another offbeat groom! Here’s Tribesmaid Fiddledragon‘s future husband with his insights into why they’re having an “adventuring party” instead of a “wedding party.” Hint: there’s steampunk involved.
I need inspiration for fun, non-blah wedding party poses!
You’ve featured non-sucky, offbeat, original suggestions for shoes, wedding rings, etc., but I couldn’t find a thorough compendium of fun, non-sucky wedding pictures/poses. I like the already passé everyone-jumping and everyone-running pictures, but I wonder if there is anything even better.
Wedding party madness, two kinds of castles, and some nom-tastic cakes
The Flickr Pool was teeming with photos of wedding parties that I had to share. Plus, there was a bouncy castle, a REAL castle in Scotland, and some nom-worthy cakes with amazing details. Check out this week’s reader submissions in this week’s Monday Montage.
Will I stay friends with my wedding party after my wedding?
How often do brides/grooms end up no longer particularly liking some friends from their bridal party? Quite a few of my friends have gotten married in the past couple of years, myself included, and I’m wondering if I’m noticing a scary trend. I was talking to one friend, and she only talks to one of her bridesmaids now, and her bridal party was created from a very strong friend base for her. I’m still very close to most of my bridal party, with the exception of one person, and I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Is it common to drift apart from those we’ve been so close to?
