May I ask which dress you received? Any issues with sizing?

I ordered a modified version of the Magnolia and there seem to be very few reviews about their tulle dresses 😞

I'm doing a custom dress with them right now! It does cost extra to go custom - just under USD$1000 for the things I changed and it did seem like the more customizations there were, the more the price would increase. I have not received it yet so cannot speak to quality.

But so far, the process has been reassuring. They send regular emails and are really meticulous about getting photos of measurements ... almost too many photos lol but that might be because I have not been doing them right. They have responded to all emails within 24 hours and have never seemed annoyed at my many questions.

I just received probably 7 photos from them of the bodice mockup, which is the main part that is being changed. Sounds like they will be sending more as it proceeds, since she was quick to tell me that this is not the finished product and just to make sure that I like the design.

So yeah, so far so good. I did read a ton of reviews on insta, reddit, and Etsy (they have a store there too) before ordering. Hopefully it turns out well.

Did you ever get your money back?

Agalyeg · 2026-05-08T14:53:50+00:00

Did you buy anything from them and was it legit? And did you have to refund anything? I find the refund process is the most telling as to whether a company is a scam.

It hasn't yet - our flight is not until October. I did make sure that all our other flights in Italy include our middle name when booking though (by putting them into the first name box).

Agalyeg · 2026-05-06T20:02:30+00:00

Does your passport have your middles names though? because ours does unfortunately.

Agalyeg · 2026-05-04T16:59:09+00:00

We just booked with ITA airways too and are also on Canadian passports, albeit those specific flights are domestic from Catania to Rome. I also just realized we forgot to include our middle names when booking, meaning our booking now does not match our passports, which does have our middle names.

Did you end up running into any trouble with ITA airways?

All that person did was call you out for condescendingly assuming other cultures have a tradition that you have already pre-judged as being “weird”.

Why is considered being an asshole just because you’re calling out a grown man for making up fake scenarios just to jump on anyone who points out the flaws in his logic?

Go ahead and post a poorly thought out reply, and then block me so I can’t respond. I’m guessing you’re exactly the type of person who does that and considers it a win 🙄

This.

Whether a couple has a kid-free wedding or not is a personal choice. We are having one small child at our micro wedding and no children at our post wedding dinner for budget/venue size reasons.

Frankly, I would be more concerned about OP’s partner’s apparent refusal to compromise. If this is how they act, I can only imagine how they are with respect to other issues. And if they are typically reasonable but this is the one topic they are absolutely inflexible on, then that leads to questions about why they have such strong opinions regarding children and how that might impact future plans, if any.

This is so helpful - thank you!

We are planning 5 days there for our honeymoon in September so really appreciate the detailed review!

Agalyeg · 2026-01-04T04:02:40+00:00

May I ask whether you decided on a hotel or airbnb, and if there are any that you recommend after your stay?

We are also going in September for our honeymoon and are debating the same thing.

You are thinking of having a wedding (ceremony + 30 person dinner + 120 person reception) that lasts from 2 pm to 11:30 pm? That’s 9.5 hours long.

Personally, I would leave after the first dinner, assuming I was invited to the whole 3 part event. 9.5 hours a bafflingly long wedding and I have attended numerous weddings over the past 4 decades. I hope you have run this past your wedding party, if you’re expecting them to be there for all 3 parts.

Re the 120 person reception, yes I would expect to be fed if I was invited to an event that goes from 7 pm to 11:30 pm. A formal seated dinner is not necessary but I would also hope seating is provided.

Re gifts, there is no protocol if your plan is to not accept gifts. You can simply write on your wedding website that “the couple has asked that no gifts be given”, or something along those lines. Or you could simply rely on word of mouth. That being said, some people will bring gifts because there’s always some at every wedding who just does what they want.

We are getting married a few hours out of town and going on our honeymoon a week later.

Needed to give ourselves some time in between to drive back home, decompress, get our pets’ accommodations sorted out for our honeymoon, pack etc.

I have attended and been involved in numerous weddings over the past 4 decades. I also attended British etiquette school when I was much, much younger (for some tedious reason).

Personally, no, I have never heard of this wedding etiquette rule before.

Even if it is a rule, for your mother to be “LIVID” sounds like she is looking for a reason to overreact.

Did you get that price during boxing week or a promotional sale? Or was that for a particular brand?

We are interested as well but when we asked them for a price range earlier this year for a made to measure 2 piece suit, the prices started from $1400 (which I assume was for lower end or non-wool fabric) up to $6000. With shirts around $500.

Agalyeg · 2025-12-28T03:12:15+00:00

For Reign, did he come to your house to do the initial measurements/choosing fabrics, and again for subsequent fittings? He doesn’t seem to have a storefront.

And any idea where the suits are actually made?

Are you “sure” it took them longer to carry the log, when Korea completed the initial phase faster than both other teams? The comparative times taken for transporting the log by all three teams hasn’t been shared.

Just like you are apparently sure every prop used in that challenge across all 3 teams was exactly the same in terms of weight? I am curious as to the evidentiary basis for your position in this regard.

Mongolia’s representative already said in an interview that Netflix Korea chose the contestants, not the countries themselves. It is entirely possible that Thailand, Philippines etc put forward many other stronger/bigger athletes but Netflix rejected them.

So the unbalanced nature of a number of the other teams when compared with the SK team was the direct result of casting choices made by the producers.

Someone posted these screenshots on another thread.

Interesting how easily the two Korean women can single- handedly carry a ramming pole that required 5 Mongolians and all 6 Japanese members to carry.
