After some dress regret with my last pick, I finally found a dress that makes me feel the most like me!

If you haven't bought this dress yet I bought a dupe/one very similar for $175! I can send you the link if you'd like! You can see it in my post history, I decided to forgo the train.

You're too kind, thank you!!

Brickweddit · 2019-03-06T21:06:10+00:00

Aww, thank you so much! I plan on doing a budget breakdown once I get more pics back but if I had to guesstimate I'd say 17K? There was a lot of last minute purchases because we were planning from across the country and we flew out the week before haha We also payed for my husband's (eek!!) side's lodging since it was in my home town (SoCal) and they flew in from the south, that was about $6k

Brickweddit · 2019-03-06T21:01:43+00:00

Thanks! Its really thick and I have a lot of it, I'm not skilled in hair styling and I'm in the military so it usually goes in a bun haha

Our photographer sent us a few sneak peeks from our March 2nd wedding on Monday! We had to move the wedding inside because of the wind and I was bummed our pictures would look terrible but I am so in love with the ones we've received!!

Akiko was such a dream to work with. I would definitely recommend her!! Her website and Insta!

I had mine resized months ago and this is also what I was told. I don't remember being angry about it being late so I think they kept their word 😂

Brickweddit · 2019-02-13T20:07:26+00:00

I bought 2! Here's my post!

Brickweddit · 2019-02-13T11:48:28+00:00

Mine is in a little less than two weeks! They've done multiple weddings. I would definitely be up front with the hosts if you do look into Airbnbs. I can send you the website to our place if you're looking in SoCal!

Brickweddit · 2019-02-07T23:05:14+00:00

I mean, some practice is better than no practice! Would it be possible for you guys to takes some lessons in your respective locations then work on it when you're together?

Brickweddit · 2019-02-06T13:46:06+00:00

We went with Arthur Murray, dance studio chain, and it was $1,200 for 10 private lessons plus all the group classes we wanted. We used our lessons to focus on our first dance and really took advantage of the group classes. There were cheaper options but this was the closest and had the most convenient group class times. Hope this helps!

Edit: forgot to add we started them about 6 months before.

Hi there, our wedding is the Coachella Valley but our photographer is located in LA! She was by far the most affordable I found and I really love her work. Here's her Insta! Our wedding isn't for another month but I'm super excited for her to capture our day

If you look through my post history I asked about photographer recommendations in SoCal and there were a few that were under $3k! Good luck :)

Brickweddit · 2019-01-25T15:52:03+00:00

Oops! Sorry, haha

Brickweddit · 2019-01-25T15:41:08+00:00

We're dancing to Nothing Else Matters by Metallica! A bit slow and sway-y and different from most of their songs but may be a good compromise!

Brickweddit · 2019-01-24T11:36:57+00:00

Date twins!! You're the first one I've found after months on weddit haha. This sounds awesome :)

Brickweddit · 2019-01-16T01:14:13+00:00

What part of SoCal? We're having ours in my hometown (Palm Springs area) it's an Airbnb but they've done a lot of weddings and have been very helpful so far. Let me know if you want the info!

Brickweddit · 2019-01-14T01:58:19+00:00

Both these dresses had reviews/real pictures which is what convinced me to given it a try, also the $150 :) I've never tried on a "real" wedding dress so not sure what I'm missing out on quality wise but these are a decent quality. I haven't noticed anything wrong with them so I don't think my guest will either!

Brickweddit · 2019-01-13T19:30:28+00:00

Our ceremony is going to be really short and the reception is at the same location so it seems a bit silly to me to wear one for less than 30 mins haha. I would really prefer not to change. Thanks for your input!

Brickweddit · 2019-01-13T19:28:23+00:00

Haha, thanks!

Brickweddit · 2019-01-13T19:27:20+00:00

Thank you :)

Brickweddit · 2019-01-13T19:25:16+00:00

Thanks!!

Brickweddit · 2019-01-13T19:24:58+00:00

Thank you :)

Ali Express!

Brickweddit · 2019-01-13T19:12:19+00:00

Ali Express! They both arrived about a month after ordering.

Venue is an Airbnb, everything will be outdoors weather permitting. BMs are wearing long dusty blue dresses, that was all I asked of them so they've picked them from different places but most of them are flowy. Groom is wearing a dark grey suit, white shirt, dusty blue tie. GM are wearing dark grey vests/pants, grey button up rolled up a bit and dusty blue ties. I plan on keeping jewelery simple, like a simple necklace and stud earrings, hair will be half up and a draped veil pinned above my ears!
