DIY Bride™

Head’s up, plus-size brides. Lane Bryant, who launched their bridal line in 2006, has discontinued their wedding gowns. According to http://www.lanebryant.com/pagebuilder/bridal_dresses, they announced that they’d no longer carry bridal wear “soon”. Clicking on the dresses, it doens’t look like any are available for order. That’s a shame. They had simple, elegant gowns at reasonable prices.

Given the current economic happenings in the US, I wanted to revisit some of the budget-related posts I’ve done over the last few years.

The Question of the Day comes from Mandi:

My DIY skills can only go so far. My fi and I want to hire some help to handle big planning stuff but we’re confused. What’s the difference among wedding designers, coordinators, and planners? Or are they the same with different titles? Thanks!
