As above... Wedding is in 10 weeks and I went for my trial yesterday. After 3 hours my hair has dropped and my makeup looks awful. Don't understand how the woman has raving reviews all over the place...

Hi Ladies (sorry gents, I don't think this is one you'll care for!) I just thought I'd start a topic on how long it took for your dress to come in once you ordered it. I know that when I first got...

Hello all! First post - hurrah! I've only recently gotten engaged, so we've only just started to think about all the different millions of avenues we can go down. One is - hiring a tipi. If we do, I...
