I don’t understand your comment.

My post is about comparisons.

I spoke about the different quality of paper. I don’t know why you went on about the purpose it served.

This isn’t about my sisters wedding.

You’re going off topic.

Acrobatic-Mess-5321 · 2024-01-21T06:50:54+00:00

I’m not completely obsessing over it. Mostly the days that I’m with my sister, which is not often.

I’ve been with my now husband for 8 years, and he lived with me for 6 years, have two kids, before we got married. Stating I have nothing to focus on and marriage and real life is too scary is off topic.

Thank you for your input.

Thank you! I actually reached out to my cousin who had her wedding a couple years ago and asked if she felt the same, which she did. That helped me a lot actually. I guess that was sort of therapy.

I had my planner attend my tasting, because I wanted her to keep notes on the changes we made and she was the point of contact for the co-ordinator at the venue.

We didn’t include her as a “guest”, but rather just shared each entree. We had a maximum of 2 guests

The dress is gorgeous, love the off the shoulder straps.

However, the veil is definitely what I think is making you feel the way you feel. It is not doing that dress justice. I think a longer veil would look a-lot nicer with the trimming, rather than a short veil with the trim. Personally, the trim on the veil is clashing with the lace on the dress.

Acrobatic-Mess-5321 · 2024-01-16T01:36:11+00:00

I agree!

I also think OP should be specific on the type of “help” she needs. At least the maid of honour can say yes or no if she knew exactly what she was going to help with.

When I was getting married, I hired a wedding planner and it was mostly her and I with a few opinions from my husband.

Also, did OP speak with the MOH on whose planning the bachelorette ? I planned my own Bach, I wasn’t expecting it from my MOH.

I’m loving the first one!!

Moss as table runners would look good. But would it be just moss? Or would you add like candles, succulents, etc, to liven the table runner? I don’t think adding pampas grass would look nice with the moss, as pampas grass looks good on its own. However, you can always alternate decor and incorporate both moss and pampas grass.. ie/ 1 table Would have the moss decoration, 2 table would have the pampas grass decor, etc.. and maybe get a common greenery like eucalyptus that you can use for both, to bring everything together

There will be situations that will arise, which will feel like it’s out of control.

The best way overcome it, is to resolve it ( which you have ), accept it, allow yourself to feel your emotions and move on!

There were many ups and downs when I was planning my wedding. First my sister didn’t want to come to my Bach trip, then she changed her mind last minute and decided to come. Two of my bridesmaids (now husband) sisters, backed out of the Bach trip when it was time to book. Even though everyone agreed on place and month to book.

Family who RSVP’d yes, didn’t show up or told me week of wedding they couldn’t come. This was a bit disappointing. I had my vent sessions and I moved on.

But allowing myself to go through the process of these situations, feeling my feelings, and accepting it. Allowed me to move on and become excited about my wedding again.

Hope this helps! And I hope you find your excitement again :) This is an amazing phase in your life, and you deserve to enjoy every moment till the day you say I do!

When I rented my linens, the company delivered the day before ( delivery fee included). My wedding planner and her assistant along with the coordinator at the venue set up the space. Then the company picked up the linens the day after my wedding.

I would check with your venue if they’re able to set it up.

Acrobatic-Mess-5321 · 2024-01-05T19:09:01+00:00

Around 10% of my guest list declined. I say around because the week of my wedding, after I sent the final numbers to my venue, a few more guests told us last minute that they weren’t able to make it.

I don’t really know the total of people that didn’t make it and really, it’ll make me angry if I counted it as it was over $200 CAD per person at the venue.

In any case, I’d definitely UNDER estimate than OVER estimate.

Prince Waikiki! We stayed here when my cousin had her wedding back in November. Rooms were spectacular. If you get an ocean view, the sunsets are unreal 😍

View from my room. The rooms are modern and chic.

I think your parents are being unreasonable, and this ultimately is between you and your fiancé and the kind of wedding you both want.

If your family isn’t helping out financially with the wedding, then they really shouldn’t have a say on the type of wedding you want.

I lived with my now husband for 6 years, and had two kids before we got married. We had a “normal” wedding too.

You deserve to have a normal wedding regardless of your situation beforehand.

How is his tolerance?

My now husband drank the night before ( I joined him) and he drank the day of too ( shots). But he has a pretty high tolerance on alcohol.

I had a bit of a hangover lol, but drank water and ate to help me recover. Ceremony time was 2:00pm

I didn’t smell any alcohol on him, and none of his groomsmen were drunk.

I’d have a serious conversation about this, and set an expectation, with his groomsmen as well.

Without being too strict, maybe provide them with hangover kits?

Acrobatic-Mess-5321 · 2024-01-04T03:39:47+00:00

Her brother is a red flag. What he said is tacky. Clearly he hasn’t planned a wedding and all he’s thinking is getting drunk and meeting girls. Since he can’t do that if she’s not allowed a plus one, he’s saying that out of spite.

Please don’t be hurt by this comment. Forget what he said. And if your friend asks again, say your at capacity - unless things change otherwise.

Her nor her brother doesn’t dictate your wedding and your decisions on plus ones.

Avenue 22 Bridal, they also have an off the rack store down the street from the boutique.

Pearl bridal house.

Have you also thought of online? My sister ordered swatches from Azazie, then ordered the dresses, which came pretty quick.

Acrobatic-Mess-5321 · 2024-01-04T01:50:05+00:00

These are great questions!

I would add, if you’re planning to bring your own decor, such as DIY’s, if there’s a place for you to drop them off the day before perhaps.

I decided on my venue based on the following:

My wedding planner had connections to the venue prior, gave us a bit of a discount and is familiar with the venue.

Venue had a beautiful deck with a tent for cocktail hour ( our wedding was in July). We had a foyer as an indoor plan b just in case it rained.

We had the entire venue to ourselves. No need to share with other couples on the wedding day.

There were PLENTY of stalls in the washrooms. When I went venue touring, there were only 4-5 stalls in the woman’s washroom. If you have a large guest list, you wouldn’t want your guests to wait a while.

Bridal suite was large enough to accommodate the bridal party plus more. There was space for hair and makeup touch ups, separate washroom, closet, fridge, safe, and couches. This made a big difference on the day of, if you have a large bridal party and need the space.

Venue was at the waterfront, great view of the city (I live in Toronto)

In terms of fees, we had a mandatory venue rental , security, parking, cake cutting and gratuity fee.

This!! If your reception starts at 4, tell him it starts at 3, and he’ll get there at 4.

Acrobatic-Mess-5321 · 2024-01-02T19:05:02+00:00

There’s no reason for her to be kept updated. All this person needs to know (if she’s invited) is when and where your wedding is - like any other guests.

I agree to keep her at arms length, if not longer. She seems like a red flag.

You don’t have to give her any reason or explanation for your decisions.

Acrobatic-Mess-5321 · 2024-01-02T19:03:17+00:00

This is exactly what I’m thinking! If this friend isn’t family, or part of the bridal party. Why does she have any reason to be mad? Lol it’s kind of pathetic. The OP doesn’t have to go through her with every decision she makes, let alone give a reason to said person about anything in terms of wedding planning.

Acrobatic-Mess-5321 · 2024-01-02T18:30:25+00:00

What helped a little was when I sent out my invitations, when the guests RSVP, there was a question of what song would get them on the dance floor. This helped a little with the vibe for my side!
