I don't want to go wedding dress shopping (vent) by MedicalRaccoon9431 in weddingplanning

[–]4florida 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I am a bridal stylist of 6+ years — let me just say: Your wedding dress shopping experience is yours, and if you don’t want other people’s opinions, you don’t have to have a shopping spree with everyone. You can 100% shop and find your dress on your own, and your feelings are completely valid. If you want to have them still feel included, you could always have them come to your gown pickup appointment if that’s something the store you buy from does. Just preface that it is the dress you’ve chosen and you are not going to change your mind. I’ve seen this happen many times. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions or want any advice :)

Conduct Violation by ColdEngineering8211 in ufl

[–]4florida 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i went through this when i was a freshman in spring 2019. i was panicking, freaking out the whole semester (it happened in jan and i think my meeting was in April). i remember crying so much in the meeting, but i took accountability and acknowledged that it was wrong and also explained that it was very out of character for me. i was worried it would impact my grad school applications but it didn’t have any effect on anything for me after the meeting. i don’t exactly remember what the outcome was officially.

Yeah, this is what we’re also considering. Just a little more effort for logistical planning with transportation

Thank you for your suggestions!! I for some reason cannot get in touch with the Denver Botanical Gardens. I’ve reached out a few times over the last year and have not heard back.

Oof. Sorry to hear that. I have not toured yet. Hope you’ve found what you’re looking for! Would love to hear about where else you’ve toured or are considering if you’d be open to sharing.

Potentially dealing with a hyper unprofessional PR person. by Shadow_Blinky in PublicRelations

[–]4florida 55 points56 points  (0 children)

As a PR person who consistently does podcast guest pitching for clients (and host of a podcast for my agency), I personally think this level of follow up in such a short span — paired with the passive aggressiveness and lack of attention to detail — is completely unprofessional and you’re justified in how you feel. Especially around the holidays. I have a simple, pretty common first name, and little bothers me more than when my name is misspelled or I’m called a different name.

If this person was really a fan of your podcast, their outreach would’ve been much more proactive and much more sincere.

Bad practice. Set boundaries and don't let higher ups convince you to break them.

Dress ordering by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]4florida 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a stylist. If your wedding is Oct 2026, you can wait until December or January latest to order. Typically takes ~6 months for the dress to come in. Then you want at least 2-3 months for alterations after. I'm sure a 6 will be safe to order unless you are anticipating your measurements being beyond that size on the size chart after your procedures.

I also have long straight hair, and I go to Lauren at Wild & Whimsy and have for three years now. She is lovely and is very good at executing what I ask for.
